Tommy Little has made a relationship confession amid romance rumours with co-star Carrie Bickmore.
The comedian revealed to Stellar this week that, at 40, he is very keen to start a family and settle down – even if he’s not entirely ready to grow up yet.
‘I’d be lying if I said there hadn’t been moments for reflection where I thought I would have had a family and be settled down by now,’ he told the publication.
‘So I’ve probably got to get a move on in that department.’
He added that he didn’t want to get to the stage where he was in his dotage looking for love from younger women.
‘My biggest fear – and this will never happen because I’m ethically against it – is to be viewed like a 70-something-year-old, dating women who are young enough to be his granddaughter,’ he shared.

‘That is utterly repugnant to me. So, I hope the wait is almost over.’
Tommy recently broke down in tears on his Hit Network drive show he hosts with Carrie, 44, after being asked what he values most in a relationship.
He revealed to the publication that showing such emotion was something that he was unable to control.
‘It’s not like I go, “OK, I can be stoic today” or, “Today I might turn on tears,”‘ he said. ‘It’s not really a choice.’
Tommy was referring to an on-air session with a mind reader back in February.
Tommy was asked by Suhani Shah, a mentalist and mind reader, ‘What is that one quality that you would want your future partner to have?’
‘Don’t tell me,’ she said. ‘Think about it in your mind.’
After revealing he had decided on a quality, he elaborated on why he picked it.

‘Its based from past experience when some partners didn’t have it. And now, I would really like my future partner to have it,’ he said.
After thinking about the word and saying it over in his head, Suhani asked to hold his hand.
Suhani then broke the silence, saying: ‘Oh, that’s nice.’
‘Everyone should have that. Not just your future partner. Everybody around you. Everybody in the world should have that. The world needs more of this.’
As the audience was left scratching their heads as to what the quality could be, Tommy started to tear up.
‘She’s making me cry,’ he admitted, before Suhani revealed that his word was ‘kindness’.
‘I’ve got tears down my face,’ he said, moved by the heartfelt moment.
Romance rumours have been swirling about Carrie and Tommy after she announced her split from longtime partner Chris Walker last year.

The pair have made a number of appearances together of late, cuddling up at a golf tournament in Adelaide and enjoying a trip to Uluru together.
Carrie shared a sweet photo to Instagram of herself and Tommy embracing one another and smiling at the LIV golf tournament.
The radio presenter looked half her age in a thigh-grazing navy mini skirt and matching button up shirt.
She completed her look with a pair of brown shoes, silver earrings and sunglasses.
Carrie was joined by Tommy, who also looked stylish in a printed buttoned shirt, black pants and a pair of white sneakers.
The week before, Carrie and Tommy enjoyed a trip to Uluru.
The pair and their HIT FM news anchor Jesse Watkins visited the famous monolith as guests of Tourism Northern Territory.
In a video montage of the experience posted to Instagram, Carrie and Tommy can be seen sipping champagne and taking in quiet moments together at sunrise.

Carrie, dressed in a vibrant floral jumpsuit, filmed the sun setting behind Uluru in one clip, and Tommy leaned in to whisper something in her ear.
In the next clip, Jesse filmed the duo strolling away from the view point together, before wedging himself in-between the co-hosts and wrapping his arms around both of them.
The video was paired with The Kid Laroi’s love song Nights Like This, which Carrie also quotes in her caption.
