Masked Singer's Joel Dommett married woman who slid into Instagram DMs

The Masked Singer returned to our screens last week, fronted as ever by host Joel Dommett.

The 37-year-old first found fame in cult comedy drama Skins, playing recurring character DC Sweeney, and was already a touring comedian at the time. A long-time funnyman, he had his first standup gig aged just 19.

Since then he's starred in and hosted a number of shows, including I'm a Celebrity, Impractical Jokers and The Great British Bake Off.

Away from the cameras, Joel is happily married to model Hannah Cooper. They are said to have met after Hannah slid into his Instagram DMs with nothing but an emoji, after she'd had a few drinks.

Joel previously told The Times: "She hadn’t watched the show but saw me doing an interview on This Morning and sent me a message. It was the cat with heart-eyes emoji.

"It’s mad coming out of the jungle. I went from 11,000 followers to 350,000. I remember going through the direct messages, not knowing if I was meant to read them all.

"She always jokes that she was just at the top of the pile. I clicked on hers. We started chatting and I was blown away by how funny she was."

They'd been together for three years when they tied the knot in 2019. Their wedding took place on the beautiful Greek island of Mykonos, and was officiated by Love Island narrator Iain Stirling.

While Joel's net worth is unknown, it is estimated to be upwards of £2m. This is a far cry from the earlier days of his career, when he is said to have been paid £25,000 for his I'm a Celebrity stint.
