The host of ITV hit The Masked Singer has a major life change ahead of him in 2026\"JoelJoel Dommett and Hannah Cooper are having a baby<\/p>\n

Joel Dommett has shared that he and his wife are “petrified” as they await the arrival of their second child<\/a> together.<\/p>\n

The Masked Singer<\/a> presenter and his wife Hannah Cooper are already parents to two-year-old son Wilde and they have another baby on the way.<\/p>\n

Despite being someone who “genuinely loves being a dad”, Joel, 40, confessed that he is feeling quite nervous about expanding their family.<\/p>\n

“We’re excited, but I think ‘petrified’ is winning in the emotional state,” the ITV<\/a> show host shared with the Mirror<\/a>. “The idea of looking after one child is one thing, but the idea of another kid being there and you having to look after that one \u2013 I just can’t imagine how chaotic it’s going to be.”<\/p>\n

Joel and Hannah, who have been a couple for 10 years and married for six, have chosen not to discover the gender of their second baby.<\/p>\n

“There’s no secrets any more, really,” Joel remarks.<\/p>\n

“So it’s quite nice to have one thing that you can’t find out about and for people to be excited about.”<\/p>\n

Joel also opened up about his relationship, saying how communication is “really important” to them.<\/p>\n

He went on: “Making sure you air all of your graces and annoyances but also share the happy bits and help each other \u2013 it’s difficult, but it’s worth it.”<\/p>\n

The TV star hosts The Masked Singer on ITV, while stars including Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Mo Gilligan and Jonathan Ross are on the judging panel of the series.<\/p>\n

The show began in 2020 and has become hugely popular with viewers. It features celebrities singing famous songs while their identities are hidden inside an array of outlandish costumes. The judges then have to try and work out who they are from a series of clues as well as their singing.<\/p>\n

Joel said that everyone who works on the show loves being a part of it and that they all know how “lucky” they are to be on the programme.<\/p>\n
