The comedian shared a sweet snap of him cuddling the little one
Joe Lycett announced that he has become a dad in a sweet Instagram post. In a post to his social media following the comedian thanked Birmingham Women’s Hospital.
He wrote: “An appreciation post from me for the extraordinary @bham_womens hospital. My first encounter with them was years ago when they looked after a pal of mine through surgery, and then most recently when they masterfully welcomed a little boy into the world, who happens to be my son.”
“The care and compassion his mum and he received was exceptional; from the antenatal classes, incredible midwives, consultants, doctors, nurses and the ongoing care in the community. We also loved their baked potatoes. Birmingham is so lucky to have them and I will be forever grateful for everything they’ve done.”
He humorously added about his new responsibilities: “I am LOVING being a dad but sadly I think this now means I can’t get out of going on Rob and Josh’s f**king podcast. We will not be taking any press requests about this as we have already sold the rights to the first family picture to Autotrader.”
To accompany his announcement, Lycett shared an adorable photo of him cuddling his newborn son. Friends and followers swarmed the comments to offer congratulations, with Bimini Bon Boulash commenting, “Amazing.”, reports the Mirror.
Another fan exclaimed, “Omg Mummy’s actually a mummy! ! ! Congrats darlin’!” Birmingham Women’s Hospital also responded and wrote: “Massive congratulations again to you all. We’re so proud to have supported you on this incredible life-changing milestone. We wish you all the best and lots of gorgeous cuddles for the future.”
Judi Love offered her congratulations, while Charley Marlow chimed in with: “omg congratulations, hope you’re all doing well xxx.” Kate Thornton also shared her well-wishes, saying: “Congratulations! Hard to believe how enormous your love for one so little can be isn’t it. Much love to you and your family.”
However, some fans were more cautious in their response, knowing Joe’s penchant for pranks. One fan joked: “I’m just worried this will come out as him cuddling a bunch of rhubarb in a hat tbh,” while another added: “I can’t tell if this is satire but I’m here for it either way.” Another fan quipped: “I’m saying congratulations but I’m also thinking this is you and it could easily be a puppy/kitten/gearbox in that hat.”
The news comes after Joe, who identifies as pansexual, discussed his love life on Bimini Bon Boulash’s podcast The Pieces, mentioning his partner, whom he affectionately refers to as Denise. On the podcast he said: “So I’ve got Winston the cat, and my partner Denise. And, um, she’s not called Denise, but I don’t talk about her, because she has a job that she can’t be in the public eye. I call her Denise because she hates the name Denise, so, uh, I live with Denise.”
