I’m A Celebrity star Seann Walsh reveals he’s become a dad after girlfriend gives birth – and he fainted during labour
I’M A Celebrity’s Seann Walsh has become a dad for the first time and admitted he fainted during his girlfriend’s labour.
The comedian announced his happy news on Instagram today in a video from hospital after his girlfriend Grace gave birth.
He praised the “great” hospital staff for taking care of them both and shared their hilarious reaction to his blackout.
He wrote: “I passed out during the birth. Of course I did.
“The nurse’s response? ‘Men’.
“Fair.”
Friends and fans congratulated the couple, with one writing: “Wonderful news! The best news! Many, many Congratulations to you and Grace. Welcome to the world little baby Walsh x.”
Another said: “Oh Sean you are amazing – so many congrats to you both – I hope ur child is as funny as you are – humour is a wonderful thing.”
Last night Seann watched the Brit Awards and joked the acceptance speeches made him wish he wasn’t going to be a father.
The comic, 36, who has been dating dance teacher Grace Adderley, 30, since 2018, revealed they were expecting during an Instagram Live while on tour last year.
He told his friend: “I’m having a child”.
And when he was asked: “So you’re gonna be a dad?” he replied: “Yeah” prompting his pal to respond: “That’s worrying.”
Seann was then seen saying to the camera: “Unbelievable. Everyone else has been really nice, that’s the worst response yet.”
And when his friend remarked: “You’re going to have a lot more worries” he joked: “That’s the one thing I need in life actually, I don’t think I’ve had enough worries.”
His stint in the jungle last year revitalised his career after his Katya Jones kissing scandal while he was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019.
