Comedian Babatunde Aleshe talks about the fear of being canceled and what his wife thinks of his jokes.

Babatúndé Aléshé opened up about the fear of being canceled and revealed what his wife thinks of his pranks when he appeared on Tuesday’s episode of This Morning.

The 36-year-old comedian, who starred in last year’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!, joined presenters Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield on the sofa.

Before his new tour, Babatúndé admitted that he tells his wife about his new material after the performance because it takes him too long to understand it.

When Philip asked him if he told his wife Leonie his jokes, he exclaimed: ‘I don’t play jokes on her! He is terrible at understanding jokes.

‘I am not going to lie. It takes him about two weeks to figure out what I meant!

He continued: ‘First I go and test my material on the audience, then I might run it through them and say ‘are you okay with this?’

“But it’s a little late by then, I’ve already done that, so I’m like, ‘I’m letting you know!’

Speaking about his fears of being cancelled, he joked: “I’ve worked 9 to 5 before, if I get cancelled, I can do it again.”

Elsewhere, Babatúndé spoke about his career before entering the jungle and what influenced his decision to enter.

He explained, “I’d had enough, the best thing to do was mentally walk away—I’d just gotten married at the time, there was nothing going on in the comedy world.” Anything was better than that.

“In the back of the jungle, everyone comes up to me and tells me how much they loved me in the jungle and they want a picture.”

It comes after Babatúndé told Matt Hancock how “disappointed” he was with his behavior during the pandemic, but admits the politician talked him into it after seeing the funny side of his “butt grabbing” joke.

The comedian says he came to “respect a lot” the former health secretary, 44, for being able to “raise his hands” and “praises” Matt for trying to right his wrongs.

Baba said, ‘With Matt, I wanted him to feel comfortable with teasing. He was telling me that he actually appreciates that because what is politics without having comedians or people making fun of what we do?

“He’s a good sportsman, honestly I really respect the man for having people like me, Seann and even Chris supporting him on certain things.”

“I got him in on the joke, I wasn’t trying to laugh at him, I was trying to laugh with him and make him laugh at himself.”
