Comedian, Dapper Laughs, whose real name is Dan O'Reilly, has been left in a 'bag of emotions' after the birth of his third child with wife Shelley.
Dapper Laughs and his wife Shelley have welcomed their third child together.
The Celebrity Big Brother star, 39, took to Instagram to share the exciting news with a sweet clip of him cradling their newborn baby daughter as fans rushed to share their congratulations.
The controversial comedian, whose real name is Dan O'Reilly, admitted that he was left feeling like a 'bag of emotions' after becoming a proud dad for the third time. Dapper is already a proud dad to Neve, 7, and Roux, 6, and fans adore the unusual names he and Shelley picked for their children. And it's no different when it comes to their third bundle of joy.
Dapper and Shelley have announced that they have named their third child, Sage Bridie Delilah O’Reilly. Revealing his newborn daughter's name on social media, the former Big Brother star penned: "Little Sage, daddy already loves you so much… My hand will always be yours to hold. From lad to dad really is some journey, 3rd time over and I'm still a bag of emotions."

His wife Shelley also shared the sweet news on her own Instagram account as she introduced Sage for the very first time. The mum-of-three also joked that she 'could be tempted' to have a fourth child just hours after giving birth to her third.
"Introducing the newest member of our little family! Sage Bridie Delilah O’Reilly," the new mum penned. I thought the perfect induction never existed but my word we enjoyed every moment, I think I could be tempted to go for number four - we are besotted and so are her big sisters.
"Special thank you to all staff in JBW and labour ward at St Peter’s once again, pretty much my second home they should have charged me rent. Thanks to friends who stepped in when needed and the biggest thanks to my mum for being there through it all and for all of us - you are very special to us, we love you."
Dapper and Shelley tied the knot at Weybridge Registry Office in July 2022, four years after he proposed live on air following his eviction from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The comedian's career flopped when he made a rape joke
The loved-up pair have since gone on to prove to doubtful fans of the show that their love is for real after many felt that Dapper's unexpected proposal was all for show. The proposal came after Dapper's career went up in flames when he made a sick joke about rape during one of his shows.
Ten years ago, he was at the centre of a scandal over a joke he made about rape. While performing at the London Scala in front of over 1,000 people in 2014, he took aim at a female audience member and told her she was "gagging for a rape"
Following the jokes hitting headlines, the comedian's career quickly crumbled as ITV confirmed his show On The Pull wouldn't be considered for a second series.
They released a statement saying: "We have given careful thought to the recent criticism of the character Dapper Laughs, which has focused on his activities outside of the ITV2 programme, whose content was carefully considered and complied. We have taken the decision that we will not be considering this show for a second series."
Not only was his show cancelled, but his tour was also axed. A spokesperson for Academy Music Group (AMG) said the company thought about the future of Dapper Laughs 'Full Length' live tour in light of the criticism. They later confirmed all 12 dates on the tour had been cancelled.
Following the intense backlash and the cancellations of his show and tour, Dapper Laughs took to social media to defend himself and said he never intended to offend anyone.

"Some comedians push the boundaries in the name of entertainment. That means taking risks," he said. "But I think it's important that if we overstep the mark and cause upset that we apologise. I would like to say sorry to those people who I have upset by my recent comments. I assure them that was not my intention."
Last year, Dapper Laughs returned to stand-up comedy with a tour around England. He dropped his pseudonym and went by his real name. The disgraced star admitted he returned to stand-up comedy as he wanted to make a more positive impact "for his daughters."
"The core reason why I want to come back to standup comedy and make an impact is for my daughters," he told Metro. "When my daughters are old enough to find out about me online and Google and YouTube and all that stuff I don’t want to be just known for that joke."
