Chris McCausland has become accustomed to being in the spotlight, from his glittering career as a comedian to his latest appearance on Come strictly dance next to Dianne Buswell.

When it comes to his family, fame is a different matter. The Would I Lie To You star would rather keep his Brazilian woman Patricia and their daughter Sophie, 10, out of the spotlight.

That’s why fans were happy to catch a very rare glimpse of his family life with his daughter during an appearance on Comedians: Home Alone in 2020.

Although the BBC show is no longer available to watch, a screenshot shows Chris and his daughter sitting at the kitchen table in their open-plan living room. The 8 of the 10 cats looked relaxed in a blue T-shirt, while his little girl wore a white sweater and long dark brown hair that fell straight past her shoulders.

With her head in her hands and a screaming expression on her face, it looks like the couple had a light-hearted disagreement!

In the background, Chris’s living room had a neutral color scheme with wooden floorboards, white shelves full of books and framed family photos, a TV stand and large houseplants.

‘Terrified’ of fatherhood

Chris married psychologist Patricia in 2012 after a four-year relationship. While he has revealed very little about their daughter, he has made some candid comments about fatherhood.

In an interview with Gyles Brandreth, the Have I Got News For You star revealed that he was “terrified” and “anguished” about the prospect of having a child, especially a son.

“I was in such a dilemma because I knew I would regret not having children, but the thought of having children terrified me,” Chris explained.

“The idea of being a parent and all the things I couldn’t do right. My dad, all the things he did with me as a kid, taking me to different places, and the time he put in helping me build things .

“You say, ‘How can I do those things? I’m not going to be a real father, I’m going to be a half-father’. That really caused me a lot of pain in my life. My head,” he added.

“Oddly enough, I think I wanted a girl because I thought if we had a girl I could be a loving father, but some of the practical obligations that fall on fathers would fall more on (his wife) Patricia because she would be a girl,” Chris admitted.

The Scared of the Dark star went on to describe fatherhood as “amazing” and explained that his fears were unfounded. “There wouldn’t be any boy things that I wouldn’t be able to take my son to. But being a dad was great.”

Chris was “terrified” to take part in Strictly due to his reduced eyesight due to a hereditary condition called retinitis pigmentosa.

He joked that Sophie had no words of encouragement for him before he entered the competition.

“I showed my ten-year-old daughter a clip of the show and asked her if I should do it. ‘No, Dad,’ she said. ‘You’ll fall off the stage and break your leg.’

“She’s a joker through and through, but she has a point,” he said The Telegraph.
