Joe Lycett reveals new girlfriend on Channel 4 show as comedian opens up about his sexuality

Joe Lycett revealed he is in a new relationship as he opened up about his sexuality during a new series of Channel 4’s Late Night Lycett.

In the past, the comedian, 35, has admitted that he tends not to put enough effort into his love life due to his busy work schedule.

But during the new series, which began on Friday, he revealed to viewers that he now has a mystery girlfriend – after previously telling Attitude magazine that his idea of ​​a perfect partner would be ‘someone to lie there eating chocolate . That’s the dream.’

He told viewers: ‘A lot has changed since the last series, I have some news which is I have a girlfriend.

‘I’ve talked about being bisexual for years, but people assume I’m gay based on my whole personality…yes, I have a boyfriend and people have been very nice about it.’

Joe also joked that he received a letter from the Pope regarding his new relationship saying “one down”.

Elsewhere in the show, the comedian also revealed that four stories that have been widely covered in the media were made up by him.

Joe is often known for his high-profile stunts, including when he changed his name to Hugo Boss back in 2020.

He also shredded £10,000 in a high-profile row with David Beckham, who he criticized for being Qatar’s ambassador during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

During the show, Joe did not reveal what stories he had made up.

However, he asked fans to guess and confirmed that all would be revealed on his new series of Late Night Lycett on Friday night.

The comedian then stayed true to his word as he revealed the stories he had planted during the episode.

He went on to reveal he was behind the made-up story that ‘Brummies have the biggest penises’ after The Daily Star reported: ‘A new annual survey by Myriad Researching for Spartan Layers, a top men’s underwear brand , showed that guys in Birmingham have the biggest average manpower in the UK.’

Joe was also behind a ‘mysterious’ mural in Birmingham which showed Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz reaching for a pair of high-heeled ruby ​​heels suspended from a nearby electrical cable.

And the mysterious mural that appeared overnight sent people into a frenzy, with rumors circulating that it might be the work of famous artist Banksy.

However, the popular street artist has since confirmed that the work is not his, and rumors of who the Banksy ‘copycat’ may be made national headlines.

Joe and his team were also allegedly behind a recent news story where someone had a bruise on their leg in the shape of ‘Prince Harry’s face’.

It was claimed earlier this month that a ‘footballer’ named ‘Adam Price’ picked up a bruise shaped exactly like Prince Harry’s face during a five-a-side game in Birmingham.

However, Joe revealed on Friday that it was actually ‘fake news’ and the comedian also comically stated that the picture of ‘Adam Price’ was a picture of him on holiday.

It comes after the comedian also revealed that four stories that have been heavily covered in the past week were fabricated by him during his new Channel 4 show
