Appearing on the Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp on Wednesday, Jack said he has lost friends through “rehab” and having “babies” as he spoke about his own life path.
Speaking to deputy host Will Manning, he explained, “I’ve settled in, I’ve got a long-term partner, I’ve bought a house with her, we’ve got a dog and do all those things. .

‘I don’t want to say it [my tour] I am furious against the dying of the light [laughs] but it gives me a sense of this man child… getting through this moment in my life, losing half my friends to rehab, half my friends to babies and trying to figure out which way to go.”
Jack’s new stand-up comedy tour is called Settle Down and he talks about the recent big changes in his life and his struggles to settle down as an adult.
A description of the show explains, “This is my most personal show to date, with a lot of material about the big changes that have happened in my life.
“It’s about my struggle to settle gracefully. I have a long-term partner, a ridiculous dog, and now I’m hurtling toward middle age with no idea. It’s about a clumsy attempt at adulthood by a mischievous male child!’
Jack has been dating Roxy for over two years and they live with their dog Coco in a £17.5 million five bedroom house in Notting Hill.
His comments come after Jack revealed that Roxy collapsed at the 2021 Brit Awards while hosting the ceremony.
The model, 31, revealed she had type 1 diabetes in 2021.
But before she was diagnosed, Roxy had a health scare and had to be resuscitated by paramedics.

said Jack The sun“We found out she had diabetes the night I received the Brits. She had a so-called diabetic hypo and she passed out.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate her and her sugar levels rose dangerously.
“We ended up in the emergency room on Brits night, which definitely made for a slightly different after-party vibe.
A hypo, also called hypoglycaemia, is low blood sugar and occurs when the sugar (glucose) in the blood falls too low.
People struggling with diabetes need daily insulin injections to control your blood glucose levels.
Low blood sugar can be dangerous and cause brain death if not treated quickly.
Roxy now wears an electronic device that monitors her blood glucose level and sends a message and alarm to her and other phones when it’s dangerously low.
She previously admitted she had a “difficult time” with the condition as she struggled to control her glucose levels.
Opening up to her 199,000 Instagram followers, she explained, “I’ve had a really hard time controlling my glucose levels these past few weeks, they’ve been yo-yoing for no reason.
“I throw up if I go too high and I’ve had a few too many hypos lately for my liking.
In March, Roxy praised Jack for being her “rock” in the midst of her type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
“Jack has been my absolute rock, he is so nice. He was there when I was diagnosed. My parents and my family live in Australia so he has been my family. We’re great,” she told The Sun.
She explained to the publication how her symptoms got worse during the pandemic, prompting her to seek medical advice.

“I felt extremely tired and exhausted for a long time, I had no energy. I couldn’t even go for a walk, it was exhausting, I felt like I was dying. I drank four to eight liters of water a day,” she recalls.
Despite “knowing there was something really wrong” with her body and having gone to the doctors several times, Roxy was not tested for diabetes because she did not meet the criteria.
The model went to the ER out of desperation, where she was eventually diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, which causes a person’s blood sugar to get too high.
