My guest this week is Axel Blake, father of two, his 13 year old son from a previous relationship, and his two year old daughter that he has with his current fiancé Louise. In recent weeks he has shot to fame after being crowned as the winner Britain's Got Talent. Having known Axel through his work on the comedy circuit for over ten years, I'm immensely proud of him for this latest achievement. It was so nice to finally be able to sit down and have a chat with him about his parenthood journey so far. In the conversation, we spoke about his introduction to fatherhood and his thoughts and feelings around that time. How he tried to balance his career in comedy whilst co-parenting his young son. How he coped with the recent lockdown, and how that affected his parenting style and the lessons that he learnt. As well as his goals for the future, off the back of what is now an historic Britain's Got Talent win. This is The Diary of a Dad Podcast.
