Dapper Laughs is set to ‘become a dad’ with his secret long-term girlfriend… who’s a topless model
The 32-year-old joker from London is dating Shelley Rae, who has posed for Zoo Magazine
HE'S Britain’s most controversial comedian.
But Dapper Laughs, whose real name is Daniel O’Reilly, is swapping pranks for prams as he is reportedly set to become a dad.
The 32-year-old joker from south London is expecting his first child with his secret long-term girlfriend Shelley Rae, a model who has posed for Zoo Magazine.
Dapper's close pal Gaz Beadle announced the happy news in his .
The Geordie Shore star, 28, revealed: "Love Island was the biggest show in the world this summer (who saw that coming). And Dapper Laughs is having a baby with his long-term girlfriend."
Gaz added: "Really. It's true. He wasn't even trapped. Gave up the semen of his own free will. From lad to dad.”
A fan also tweeted a friend about the comedian last month, saying: "He better be home looking after his foxy baby momma @IRaeOfSunshine."
Dapper, who has not mentioned his impending fatherhood on social media, has previously admitted he’s not the wild bachelor he portrays in his crazy Snapchat videos.
He says the out-of-control character - who has caused a stir with his catchphrase “proper moist”, his penchant for the f-word and “drugs” videos - doesn't reflect the real him.
He told : “At first I took it as a compliment that people couldn't tell the difference between the character and me as a person - I thought that meant I was doing my job well.
"But in the end that was the problem.
“People thought I was a lad with an iPhone running round shouting ‘proper moist’ at women.”
He added: “Dapper Laughs is a huge exaggeration of the stereotype of lad humour. It is an outrageous version of me when I was 15.
“We are supposed to laugh at it and mock it, people have lost sight that it's comedy. I am not a politician, I am not trying to make a point or change the way we live. I am just having a laugh.”
