Comic posts a Valentine's picture of husband and baby
Sara Pascoe has become a mother for the first time.
She revealed the news to her 257,000 Instagram followers by posting a picture of the baby with her husband, the fellow comedian Steen Raskopoulos.
Pascoe, 40, captioned the photo: ‘Morning everyone from me and my valentines.’
The news sparked congratulations from across the comedy industry,.
Sharon Horgan commented: ‘So happy for you.’
Ellie Taylor added: ‘Ekkkkkkkk! Huge congratulations- sending so much love xxxx’
And Daisy Haggard said: ‘Oh my goodness me !! CONGRATULATIONS
Sarah Millican, Rachel Parris, Brett Goldstein, David O’Doherty and Angela Barnes were also among those passing on their best wishes.
And Josh Widdicombe, who hosts the Parenting Hell podcast with Rob Beckett, saw an opportunity. ‘You free to do a podcast?’ he posted.
Great British Sewing Bee host Pascoe married Raskopoulos just before the first lockdown in 2020.
She announced her pregnancy on social media in November, sharing: 'I’ve been shy about posting about my pregnancy, partly my own anxiety after losing one at the beginning of the year, but also awareness of what other people may be going through. There can be so much sadness felt alongside the happiness (and luck) of others.
'However, I’m in the third trimester now and realised if I don’t post soon, you’ll see me with a buggy next year and think I stole a kid. Also I conceived via IVF, so huge love and support to anyone going through it or thinking about it. I want you to get everything you deserve and hope you know how brave you are to go on this journey of the unknown.'
Pascoe can currently be seen on Comedy Central hosting the panel show Guessable?, which continues tonight, while she will be on tour from November with her new stand-up show Success Story.
