Jimmy Carr, 48, reveals he’s become a dad for the first time
COMEDIAN Jimmy Carr has revealed he has become a father for the first time — by cracking sick jokes.
The 8 Out of 10 Cats host, 48, is thought to have secretly welcomed a baby two years ago with his long-time girlfriend, Channel 5 exec Karoline Copping, 46.
The edgy comic finally shared the news with a string of on-stage gags about abortions and comas which are too bad taste to print.
In milder ones he appeared to confirm he had a son, quipping: “I had to tell my little boy he’s adopted.
"I mean, he isn’t, but the look on his face. I said, ‘No, no, no, you were adopted, the new family is picking you up tomorrow.’”
He also told fans at the O2 Academy Brixton in South London: “We’re having a gender-reveal party for our kid but we’re going to wait until he’s 21 just to be sure.
"With some babies you can’t tell, is it a boy or an ugly girl?”
Jimmy has been pictured since 2020 pushing a buggy in North London, where he lives with Karoline, his partner of 20 years.
