Television presenter Joel Dommett has revealed that he and his wife Hannah Cooper are expecting their second baby together. <\/p>\n

The 40-year-old comedian shared the news through a sweet social media post on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The announcement featured an image of their two-year-old son Wilde touching his mother’s growing belly.<\/p>\n

The post came with a caption reflecting their toddler’s words: “Baby in mumma tummy”, with the couple adding it was “hard to keep secrets with a toddler around”. <\/p>\n

The timing of the revelation coincides with Mr Dommett’s imminent departure for Australia, where he will present the I’m A Celebrity spin-off programme Unpacked alongside co-host Kemi Rogers for a second consecutive year.<\/p>\n

The Instagram post quickly attracted warm wishes from fellow celebrities and television personalities.<\/p>\n

Loose Women panellist and former jungle contestant GK Barry offered her congratulations, whilst Jessica Wright, previously of The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), wrote: “Aww you guys, congratulations.”<\/p>\n

Strictly Come Dancing’s Vicky Pattison described it as “the best news”.<\/p>\n

Additional well-wishers included presenter Sian Welby, who shared an enthusiastic “CONGRATS!!”, and Emily Attack, who responded with an excited “WAHHHHHHHHHH”.<\/p>\n

The announcement arrives as Mr Dommett prepares to travel to Australia for his presenting duties, with the new series of I’m A Celebrity commencing on Sunday, November 16 on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/p>\n

The couple’s romance began in an unconventional manner following Mr Dommett’s stint as a contestant on I’m A Celebrity in 2016. <\/p>\n

Dutch-born model Hannah Cooper initiated contact by sending the comedian a direct message on Instagram featuring a cat emoji whilst intoxicated.<\/p>\n

Their first meeting occurred mere days afterwards, with the pair immediately forming a strong connection.<\/p>\n

Three years later, in September 2019, they exchanged vows during a beachside ceremony in Mykonos, Greece. <\/p>\n

The intimate celebration took place amongst close friends and relatives, with Love Island narrator Iain Stirling serving as the officiant. <\/p>\n

Their first child, Wilde Cooper-Dommett, arrived in September 2023, completing their family unit until this latest pregnancy announcement.<\/p>\n

For this year’s series, Mr Dommett has arranged for his entire family to accompany him to Australia, following in the footsteps of main presenter Dec Donnelly.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Mirror, he expressed enthusiasm about the arrangement. “This year I’m taking my family with me, so it’s going to be great getting home from work and being able to see them and Wilde learning how to swim and all of that stuff,” he shared.<\/p>\n

The presenter acknowledged the benefits of having his wife present during the lengthy filming schedule, particularly regarding his organisational shortcomings. <\/p>\n

“Every year halfway through the run, I realise I’ve run out of clothes and I have to go to the nearest town to buy lots of stuff,” he admitted.<\/p>\n

He went on to add that his wife “despairs at my packing” and noting the necessity of washing clothes every five days.<\/p>\n
