Joel Dommett drops first hint at baby’s name – and reveals stern warning from pals about having children
JOEL Dommett has dropped a hint at his baby’s name – and has revealed a stern warning from his friends about having children.
The TV host and his wife Hannah Cooper, who married in 2019, announced their first child’s birth this week with a romantic series of polaroids highlighting the model’s bump.
Hannah, 31, wrote: “Does anyone know how to change a nappy? Because Joel has s*** himself.”
In an interview with TV Mag, Joel teased a few baby names and shared the parenting warnings his pals gave him.
Joel has Ant & Dec tattooed on his ankles, so it was only natural to suppose this may be a possibility for baby names.
The Masked Singer host said, while laughing: “Well, it’s not off the table. She hasn’t said no. I’ll take that as a yes.”
He revealed that his friends had issued a caution to him about having children, advising him to “don’t do it.”
Joel shared: “What everyone says when they’ve had kids is: ‘Take your time. Don’t rush into it.”
He added: “We laugh because everybody who’s had kids says: ‘It’s the best thing that’s ever happened. Don’t do it. But it’s the best thing!’ It’s a balancing act!”
When asked what sort of dad he would be, the TV personality replied: ” You don’t know really. I don’t know. I don’t think you know until it happens, right? I like to think a good one… “
Joel added: “My job entails me being a child so I’ve got the mental age of a 12-year-old so it’ll be fine.”
Joel’s first gameshow In With A Shout is currently airing on ITV1 and he will return later this year with The Masked Singer.
