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

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

However, during the new series which began on Friday, he revealed to viewers he now has a mystery girlfriend -  after previously telling Attitude magazine his idea of a perfect partner would be 'someone to lie there with eating chocolate. That's the dream.' 

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

'I've talked about being bisexual for years but people presume I'm homosexual based on my entire personality...yes I've got a girlfriend and people have been very nice about it.'

Joe also joked he received a letter from the Pope regarding his new relationship which read 'one down'. 

Elsewhere in the show, the comedian also revealed four stories covered extensively in the media were fabricated by him. 

Joe is often well 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 spat with David Beckham, whom he criticised for being a Qatar ambassador during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. 

During the show, Joe did not reveal which stories he had fabricated. 

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 proceeded to reveal that he was behind the fabricated story that 'Brummies have the biggest penises' after The Daily Star reported: 'A new yearly study by Myriad Researching for Spartan Layers, a top men's underwear brand, found that blokes in Birmingham have the biggest average manhoods in the UK.' 

Joe was also behind a 'mystery' mural in Birmingham which showed Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz reaching for a pair of ruby high-heels hung on a nearby electric cable. 

However, during the new series which began on Friday, he revealed to viewers he now has a girlfriend

And the overnight appearance of the 'mystery' mural sent people into a spin, with rumours circulating it might be the work of famed artist Banksy. 

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

Joe and his team were also reportedly 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  it was in fact 'fake news' and the comedian also comically stated the picture of 'Adam Price' was a picture of him on holiday. 

It comes after the comedian also revealed that four stories covered extensively in the last week were fabricated by him during his new Channel 4 show
