Joking about suffering with baby blues, the funnyman said the first few months of Max's life have not quite been plain sailing, but credited fiancée Julia Carey with being a 'wonderful mum.'

‘Let’s be honest. I’m fed up of these guys who go, “Aww! The minute I held it in my arms, I just knew I’d jump in front of a bus for it". No you didn’t. A parked bus maybe,' the comedian laughed to Xfm Breakfast Show presenter Danny Wallace.

'For a while it’s nothing but annoying and then slowly and surely in around three months when you get a smile you go, “Aww, actually you’re all right”.’

Speaking of his 'shock' at the change in sleeping arrangements which came with baby Max, he said: ‘He still sleeps in the room which was a shock to me when Jules asked where we were going to put the cot. I was like, “Well, in the other room”.’

But James was quick to praise his other half's parenting skills.

‘My girlfriend, or should I say fiancée, is a wonderful mum – the best person I could have chosen to have had a child with – she is amazing,' he gushed.

On Sunday the happy family were spied basking in the sun and enjoying a picnic on Primrose Hill while baby Max slept in his pram. Cute!
