Describing himself as pansexual, the funnyman has always been discreet about his love life, having only mentioned that he had a girlfriend once on his show, Late Night Lycett, with no more details about the relationship.
But then in October, he told how he’d become a father for the first time as he shared a post thanking the Birmingham Women’s Hospital. He said:
“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.

“Birmingham is so lucky to have them and I will be forever grateful for everything they’ve done.”
Indeed just days before the big reveal, Joe opened up a little more about his girlfriend, but gave her a fake name to protect her identity.
Speaking on Bimini Bon-Boulash’s podcast The Pieces, he revealed: “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.”
Having been a regular on TV panel shows, including 8 out of 10 cats and Never mind the Buzzcocks, Joe has hosted his own show since 2023 called Late Night Lycett.
It celebrates Birmingham’s diversity, with Joe being joined by local heroes, LGBTQ+ icons and stars from the worlds of comedy, TV, film and music.
In the first series guests including Dame Joan Collins, Richard E Grant and David Harewood.
