EXCLUSIVE Joel Dommett's wife Hannah Cooper admits she was left shocked by husband's 'intimate jokes about her body' as she reveals what it is really like being married to a comedian
And while being married to Joel Dommett may mean there is never a dull moment without a laugh, it also means that when it comes to their private life making its way into set material, nothing is off limits.
After sliding into Joel's DMs following his 2016 appearance on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, the star and Hannah Cooper went on their first date just days later and immediately hit it off.
The couple tied the knot three years later in a romantic beach ceremony in Mykonos and in September 2023 they welcomed their son Wilde.
And now Hannah has confessed that nothing surprises her with her husband as she admitted there are no boundaries when it comes to their private life crossing into his comedy.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline ahead of the release of her new jewellery collection with Posh Totty Designs, Hannah admitted she was shocked when she sat in the audience of one of Joel's shows and listened to jokes about her breastfeeding and giving birth.
She explained: 'I had a lot more time before Wilde to go to a lot more work in progress gigs. So I almost like vetted the material, whereas obviously now that's not so much the case.
'So actually he ended up going on tour, and it wasn't until possibly the 10th tour date that I had a chance to go to one that was pretty local.
'And then I was sitting there going like, 'Oh, okay, right cool. We're talking about me breastfeeding, me giving birth me, like quite intimate areas of my body'.
'And he's like, 'Oh, you know. But it's fine' and I'm like, 'Yeah, but you could have checked with me.' And he's like, 'Well, I can't change it now. It's the show.''
She joked: 'But I guess that does come with sort of marrying a comedian.
'I guess the price that you pay is that no stone is unturned. And same with the podcast it's all out there anyway, so it's hard to be surprised now.'
Speaking about how her husband's career has rocketed since meeting Hannah she teased: 'Yeah I say to Joel, "Is it a coincidence that when you met me it all changed. Is that a coincidence, or is it just a weird thing?"'
Hannah, who began her career as a model after being signed aged 16, has now brought out her first jewellery collection with Posh Totty Designs.
She joked: 'And then I was sitting there going like, 'Oh, okay, right cool. We're talking about me breastfeeding, me giving birth me, like quite intimate areas of my body''
She joked: 'But I guess that does come with sort of marrying a comedian. I guess the price that you pay is that no stone is unturned... it's hard to be surprised now'
The collection is inspired by Hannah's journey into motherhood and her love of all things vintage, boho, and 'cowboy core'.
Named Wilde after the couple's son, Hannah said: 'It's a really lovely thing and it really means a lot as well that it's called the Wilde collection and I can show him one day all this merch that's branded with his name,' she joked: 'Even though he won't care.'
Branching out on her own project without her husband by her side she admitted: 'Obviously in the beginning you're just "Joel Dommett's girlfriend" and then "Joel Dommet's wife" and now it's that transition.
'The podcast [Never Have I Ever] has allowed sort of people to get to know us as a couple and our dynamic and that's really lovely.
'And I'm so grateful that in turn it's allowed people to get to know me. And then opportunities like Posh Totty come along and it's like been really lovely from modeling and that sort of thing to now being able to have more of an input and a voice and choose the brands that I want to work with.
'It's been a really nice year so far, and I'm really excited for the collection to come out and be proud of it and it's mine.'
Hannah also admitted Joel is her biggest supported as she added: 'Joel's like my biggest cheerleader as well.
'I'm sort of the one going, "Oh my God, you're so busy with work." And then I work loads, and he's like, "Yeah, you go for it."
'It's really sweet and I mean now I'm at the point where Joel's on telly so much that I'm like "Oh, it's you again! I also have you in real life, and I don't have a remote for that".'
Meanwhile Posh Totty Designed Founder and Creative Director Alice Rivers-Cripps also spoke about working with Hannah as she gushed: 'From the moment I met Hannah (pregnant with little Wilde at the time!) at a party, we clicked.
'Together, we've created a collection full of charm, meaning, and a little Wild West flair — lucky horseshoes, buckle-inspired designs and symbolic charms.
'At the heart of it all is our guiding star — a little reminder to follow your own path, passion, and that spark of magic that's uniquely yours.'
The full collection will be available from May 16 at Posh Totty Designs' boutique stores in London and Brighton, online, and at select pop-up locations.

Why the Oasis reunion tour is 'catastrophic' for Edinburgh Fringe performers
For years now, many performers at Edinburgh Fringe have spoken about their struggles to afford the sky-high prices for their accommodation each August. This year, with Oasis's reunion tour coming to the city for three nights, the cost of securing a room for a month at the biggest arts festival in the world is even higher. Comedian Marc Borrows says "the 'Oasis effect' on the Fringe economy has been catastrophic". Rather fittingly, his stand-up show this year is called The Britpop Hour. "It's an idea I'd had in my back pocket for a while," he explains. "Then the band reformed and when I saw they were playing Edinburgh I thought 'yeah, this is the year to do this!'" While he's thrilled that the Gallagher brothers are coming to town, it means many performers are taking a financial hit. "I'll give you an example, I tried to get the same flat that I've had the last two years at the Fringe, a student flat, nothing fancy, and it costs an extra thousand pounds this year." Because of the increased demand for beds, newcomer Amy Albright will be sleeping in her red Volkswagen for her two-week stint at the Fringe. "Costs are even more expensive," she says. "It's just not an option for me, so instead I'm living in my car." With blackout blinds and a portable coffee maker, she says it's actually not as bad as some might think. "I park just outside of town in a really nice safe area, I use a gym for showers ... this saves me so much money ... I wouldn't be able to afford to perform at the Fringe otherwise." Holly Spillar's show Tall Child explores her relationship with class. She was fortunate enough to be one of 180 recipients of a £2,500 bursary from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society. It is the third year the Keep it Fringe fund has been run, backed this year by a £1m injection of government money. As Holly explains: "I live month to month on a minimum wage job ... and it costs me about five grand to do the fringe." Alongside the grant, she's also had to take out a loan, which she says will take her two years to pay back. "It's a very precarious situation you put yourself in just to be in the room," she adds. Chloe Petts - now an established name on the comedy circuit - says the problem needs to be recognised for being less about Oasis and more about a problem that's been brewing for years. "Accommodation is just totally out of control," she says. "If this leads us to further conversations about that, then fantastic but ... it has to be a conversation about how it's totally unaffordable for the average person to come to the Fringe, and I think that's stopping a lot of people coming up who deserve to be here." Scottish comedian Susan McCabe, a lifelong Oasis fan, reckons there's no point getting too worked up, especially given the siblings fractious relationship. "We are here every year and they may not even be here for those three gigs ... they might have fallen out by then!" She adds: "It is what it is, at the end of the day ... they were the greatest rock and roll band of the 1990s, just let them be."

When the golden couple Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty announced that they were separating after almost 13 years of marriage and two children, their careful presentation was as anodyne as Cat introducing some minor celebrity flogging a new cookbook on 's This Morning. In a joint statement, the couple said: 'We have taken the decision to end our marriage. There is no other party involved. We continue to be united as loving parents.'

Rihanna 'set to tour again after cancelling London dates' as she prepares to welcome third child
Rihanna is reportedly set to tour again after cancelling a string of dates in London which were meant to take place this summer. The singer, 37, who is currently preparing to welcome her third child with her partner ASAP Rocky, has now rearranged the shows. According to reports, she had been rumoured to be planning a six-concert residency in London in July to mark her return to music. It was later reported that Rihanna pulled out of the proposed gigs at West Ham's stadium in a secret meeting last week in March, just before they were set to be publicly confirmed. The tour is now set to be back on for 2026, The Sun reports, which will mark her first UK shows since 2016. A source told the newspaper: 'But Rihanna and her team are now confident they can make it work for next year.' They added: 'The dates will also coincide with the tenth anniversary of [her last album] Anti, and fans can expect to hear her new music too. 'Rihanna might be pregnant with her third baby but she is the ultimate working mum and has the support of her partner ASAP Rocky.' Daily Mail has contacted Rihanna's representatives for comment. Music insiders previously claimed to The Telegraph that Rihanna was lining up shows at London Stadium for July 4 and 5, with other possible concerts set for July 8, 9, 11 and 12. A second source told the publication that her promoters were 'holding' the arena - formerly the Olympic Stadium - for her, with preparations in the advance planning stages. The run of concerts would've been Rihanna's first in almost a decade, after the release of her last album Anti in 2016. The Umbrella hitmaker finally confirmed her ninth album was on its way in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in February. She sent fans wild as she teased she's 'cracked the code' on her 'next body of work' and that it 'feels right.' Rihanna told the outlet: 'This time away from from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to matter. I have to show them it was worth the wait.' The nine-time Grammy winner revealed her pregnancy news when she showed off her baby bump at the Met Gala back in May. Just last week, she dished on motherhood as she is expecting her third baby. She told Access Hollywood that her 'two princes' RZA and Riot have a ton of energy that wear her out when she attended the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles. She is the voice actor for Smurfette in the new animated musical-comedy film and brought along her kids for the red carpet event ahead of the movie's release. It comes just days after the singer attended her father's funeral in her native country of Barbados - after he passed away at the age of 70 on May 30 following a battle with pancreatic cancer and accompanying complications. During an interview with Extra at the Smurfs premiere, she opened up about her little ones joining her at the screening. 'I'm excited for tonight. Tonight is going to be fun. We get to watch the movie together for the first time. I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting,' she expressed.
