Jimmy Carr has reportedly revealed he has become a first-time father.

The comedian, 48, is thought to have welcomed a son two years ago with his partner Karoline Copping, 46.

According to The Sun, Jimmy confirmed he is now a dad during a stand-up comedy show at the O2 Academy Brixton in London.

The funnyman mentioned his son during an adoption joke, telling the audience: 'I had to tell my little boy he's adopted. I mean, he isn't, but the look on his face. I said, "No, no, no, you were adopted, the new family is picking you up tomorrow."'

In another joke, he said: 'We're having a gender-reveal party for our kid but we're going to wait until he's 21 just to be sure. With some babies you can't tell, is it a boy or an ugly girl?'

Jimmy has previously been pictured pushing a buggy in North London where he lives with Karoline. 

MailOnline have contacted Jimmy's representatives for comment.

The comedian has been in a relationship with Channel 5 commissioning editor Karoline since 2001 after meeting her at an audition. 

The pair have not previously spoken about whether they would have children together.

In March 2017, he told Radio 4's Desert Island discs that his girlfriend's first impression of him was 'one-note comedian with the eyes of a sex offender'.
