Joel Dommett’s wife, Hannah Cooper, has revealed that her husband likes to sunbathe with his socks on, which gives her ‘the ick’.
The TV show host, 40, is currently in Australia hosting I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Spin-off show Unpacked, and is being accompanied by his wife, but he’s already put his foot in it.
She said: ‘You keep sunbathing with socks on, and it is absolutely giving me the ick. We went upstairs to go on to the sun lounger, and you literally put socks on to go outside in the sun.’
Joel explained: ‘I can’t be bothered to put suncream on my feet. Last time I was in Australia, I burned the bottom of my feet, and it was awful.’
It comes weeks after Joel revealed his wife, Hannah, is pregnant with their second child.
The comedian shared his baby news in an Instagram post earlier this month as he and his family prepared to fly to Australia while he hosts I’m A Celebrity spin-off Unpacked.

The post showed both Joel and Hannah with their son Wilde, two, caressing her growing bump, along with the cheeky caption: ‘Baby in mumma tummy. Hard to keep secrets with a toddler around.’
Many of Joel’s famous pals shared their congratulations in the comments, with Sian Welby writing: ‘CONGRATS!!’ while Jess Wright wrote: ‘Aww you guys, congratulations.’
After sliding into Joel’s DMs following his 2016 appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, the star and Hannah went on their first date just days later and immediately hit it off.
The couple tied the knot three years later in a romantic beach ceremony in Mykonos, and in September 2023, they welcomed their son Wilde.
Joel previously shared that Hannah and Wilde would be joining him Down Under while he presents Unpacked with Kemi Rogers.
He told The Mirror: ‘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.
‘I’m really excited for them to be there. Hopefully I can enjoy a bit of family time before I have to go to bed at 3pm in the afternoon.’
Joel added that he’ll be glad to have Hannah by his side during the trip, saying: ‘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.
She said: ‘You keep sunbathing with socks on, and it is absolutely giving me the ick. We went upstairs to go on to the sun lounger, and you literally put socks on to go outside in the sun’
‘I never take enough, my wife despairs at my packing. At some point, you have to understand that you have to wash your pants and do a washing run every five days.’
Hannah previously shed light on her life married to comedian Joel in an interview with Daily Mail, admitting that nothing surprises her with her husband, as there are no boundaries when it comes to their private life crossing into his comedy.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail ahead of the release of her new jewellery collection with Posh Totty Designs, Hannah admitted she was shocked when she sat in the audience of one of Joel’s shows and listened to jokes about her breastfeeding and giving birth.
She explained: ‘I had a lot more time before Wilde to go to a lot more work in progress gigs. So I almost like vetted the material, whereas obviously now that’s not so much the case.
‘So actually he ended up going on tour, and it wasn’t until possibly the 10th tour date that I had a chance to go to one that was pretty local.
‘And then I was sitting there going like, “Oh, okay, right cool. We’re talking about me breastfeeding, me giving birth me, like quite intimate areas of my body”.
‘And he’s like, “Oh, you know. But it’s fine” and I’m like, “Yeah, but you could have checked with me.” And he’s like, “Well, I can’t change it now. It’s the show.”’
She joked: ‘But I guess that does come with sort of marrying a comedian.

‘I guess the price that you pay is that no stone is unturned. And same with the podcast it’s all out there anyway, so it’s hard to be surprised now.’
Speaking about how her husband’s career has rocketed since meeting Hannah, she teased: ‘Yeah I say to Joel, “Is it a coincidence that when you met me it all changed. Is that a coincidence, or is it just a weird thing?”‘
Joel and Kemi are hosting I’m A Celebrity spin-off Unpacked for the second year in a row, with the lineup for this year’s series announced on Monday.
Shona McGarty, Eddie Kadi, Aitch, Alex Scott, Jack Osbourne, Lisa Riley, Kelly Brook, Angry Ginge, Ruby Wax and Martin Kemp will be moving into the Australian jungle when the new series begins on Sunday.
