The London -born comedian previously told how he hoped his stint in the Celebrity Big Brother compound had redeemed him from being "the most hated man in the UK."
Four years prior to his time in the spy house, his tour and TV show was axed after he told an audience member she was "gagging for a rape."
He subsequently told how the sick comment "destroyed" his life.
After vowing he is a changed man, he is now marking a happy chapter in his personal life.
Dapper and his wife Shelley Rae took to Instagram for a tongue-in-cheek video which showed them holding a pregnancy test.
Dapper told the camera: "We are about to see if we have got baby number four on the way," before unveiling the test screen to show a positive result.
Shelley then said: "f*** off," before standing up to show her huge bump, confirming the pair knew all along.
Still going with the joke he said: "Do another one just to be sure," before the mum of three replied: "Yeah you're right."
In his video caption, Dapper wrote: "Me & @shelleyraerae need to get a TV in our bedroom."

She replied to one fan and said: "Didn't know with Neve, found out with Roux & Sage & keeping this one a surprise."

Dapper's comedy career ended after he made a joke about a female audience member at one of his gigs.
Who has won Celebrity Big Brother?
THE first Celebrity Big Brother aired in March 2001 on Channel 4.
Roll on 23 years and a switch to Channel 5 in 2011, CBB is now into its 23rd season and is being hosted for the first time by ITV.
Here's who has won the coveted title so far:
Season 1 (2001): Comedian Jack Dee beat actress Claire Sweeney despite walking out of the house and evading security for about an hour. The series was also more memorable for Vanessa Feltz telling Big Brother to "f*** off" after chalking 'incarcerated', 'ambushed' and 'restricted' on the table.
Season 2 (2002): Take That favourite Mark Owen triumphed over TV host Les Dennis. The latter won over the sympathy of the audience after his marriage breakdown with his wife Amanda Holden.
Season 3 (2005): Maraca shaking Bez walked out the winner ahead of Blazin' Squad 's Kenzie. The Happy Mondays star scooped the £50,000 and went on a 10-hour bender, blowing the cash.
Season 4 (2006): This was the season when Big Brother mixed things up - by sending in a non-celebrity from the fictional band Kandy Floss. However, Chantelle Houghton won over viewers and housemates alike and was crowned the winner. During her time in the house she found love with Ordinary Boys singer Preston. There was also added drama when George Galloway pretended to be Rula Lenska 's pet cat.
Season 5 (2007): Actress Shilpa Shetty won after being caught up in a racism bullying row with former BB contestant Jade Goody, model Danielle Lloyd, and S Club 's Jo O'Meara.
Season 6 (2009): Ulrika Jonsson beat Terry Christian, but controversy came in the form of rapper Coolio who was slammed by viewers as misogynistic, however, he finished in third spot.
Season 7 (2010): Alex Reid beat Dane Bowers and Vinnie Jones with a huge 65% of the vote. Alex married Katie Price one month later.
Season 8 (2011): In the first series to air on Channel 5, Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty was the unexpected winner, beating singer Kerry Katona.
Season 9 (2012): Loose Women star Denise Welch triumphed over X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza, after stripping off while drunk and jumping into the hot tub topless.
Season 10 (2012): Comedian Julian Clary got the nod in the vote over Coleen Nolan.
Season 11 (2013): The X Factor's Rylan Clark beat couple Heidi Montag
& Spencer Pratt, who was competing as "one entity" and known as Speidi.
Season 13 (2014): Jim Davidson won after a blazing row with Linda Nolan. N-dubz Dappy took the second spot.
Season 14 (2014): Gary Busey - who chose to roam around the CBB house naked - beatboxer Audley Harrison.
Season 15 (2015): Katie Price won the battle of the Katies as she saw off controversial Katie Hopkins in the final. The biggest talking point was American blogger Perez Hilton 's raging row with Calum Best, but the series also saw two early ejections of Jeremy Jackson and Ken Morley.
Season 16 (2015): Apprentice star James Hill beat model Austin Armacost. Tila Tequila was evicted on just the second day after she was found to have posted support for Adolf Hitler on social media.
Season 17 (2016): Geordie Shore's Scotty T won after sharing a kiss with fellow housemate Tiffany Pollard. Stephanie Davis was runner-up.
Season 18 (2016): Stephen Bear won the show despite a huge row with radio star James Whale. Ricky Norwood placed second but this season saw Christopher Biggins ejected from the house after making an anti-Semitic joke.
Season 19 (2017): Coleen Nolan entered the CBB house for a second time - and this time came out the winner beating Jedward. During her second stint, she had a massive showdown with horse star John McCririck.
Season 20 (2017): It was the battle of the reality show singers in the final, with Popstars: The Rivals winner and Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding beating The X Factor's Amelia Lily.
Season 21 (2018): Courtney Act, otherwise known as Shane Jenek, won with politician Ann Widdecombe as runner-up.
Season 22 (2018): Winning Dancing On Ice in 2024, was not Ryan Thomas 's first reality show title. He won the CBB title in 2018, after a shocking "run-in" with Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallet, who falsely accused him of punching her. Actress Kirstie Alley came second.
He told the crowd 'she was gagging for a rape.'
He revealed he felt suicidal following the backlash and apologised profusely.
Dapper explained: 'I don't mind admitting that. I have [since] worked with groups like It's OK To Talk, who deal with male suicide in young men.
'I did a lot of research about it afterwards and worked with them on raising awareness, because I did feel like that.
'I don't now if it was because of the drinking but there was one point where I thought if my old man f***ing dies then I'm f***ing off.'
FAMILY AFFAIR
Back in 2016, he welcomed his first child.
And Dapper and Shelley got engaged in 2018 following as the comedian became the third contestant to leave CBB.
The happy couple then tied the knot in July 2022.
Dapper previously told The Sun how they had struggled to have children.
He said of his spouse: 'She was told she couldn't have babies the first time around.
'The second time, she was just about to go in and do tests and we were just trying.'

Pierce Brosnan, 71, is supported by his stunning granddaughter Isabella Smith, 26, and dapper son Dylan, 28, at The Thursday Murder Club afterparty
Pierce Brosnan turned the premiere for his latest role The Thursday Murder Club into a family affair as he headed to the after party with his granddaughter Isabella and son Dylan on Thursday. The actor, 71, is starring alongside Helen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie in the film adaptation of Richard Osman 's best-selling novel, which is set to be released on Netflix on Friday. After posing on the red carpet for the premiere, Pierce made his way into the after party with Isabella, 26, and his son Dylan, 28. The James Bond star, who plays Ron in the upcoming flick, looked handsome as ever as he arrived at the star-studded event in a brown double-breasted suit. Isabella, who previously joined her grandfather at the MobLand premiere after party in March, opted for an elegant purple satin gown. Dylan opted to match his dad with a sharp camel suit as they joined fellow star Helen Mirren, who had changed into a chic floral shirt dress, at the party. Pierce has kept a strong family bond with Isabella after her mother, Charlotte - who is his adopted daughter - died from cancer in 2013. Pierce adopted both Charlotte and her younger brother Christopher, 52, after their father, Dermot Harris died in 1986. Charlotte's mother later died of ovarian cancer in 1991, which left the siblings without their biological parents. She then welcomed two children of her own, Isabella and Lucas, with her partner Alex Smith. But Charlotte died just weeks after marrying Alex in 2013 from the same cancer her mother had. Before Cassandra's death, she and Pierce welcomed their biological son, Sean, 41, in 1983. Pierce, who has five children in total, is also a father to Dylan, 28, and Paris, 24, who he welcomed with his current wife Keely Shaye Smith, 61. The Thursday Murder Club centers on a witty group of retirees who spend their days in a peaceful retirement community—bonding over their shared hobby of solving cold cases. But their quiet pastime takes a thrilling turn when they stumble upon a fresh murder mystery that demands their attention. Helen leads the cast as Elizabeth, a sharp ex-spy with a knack for uncovering secrets. Pierce plays Ron, a former union activist with a passionate spirit, while Ben Kingsley portrays Ibrahim, an insightful ex-psychiatrist. Celia Imrie rounds out the group as Joyce, a compassionate ex-nurse who balances the team. Osman wrote the book in secret over 18 months, sparking a fierce 10-way bidding war before Penguin Random House secured the rights for a seven-figure deal in 2019. Upon its 2020 release, The Thursday Murder Club became the only novel that year to sell over one million copies, ranking as the third best-selling hardback behind Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The success led to three sequels: The Man Who Died Twice (2021), The Bullet That Missed (2022), and The Last Devil to Die (2023). A fifth installment is already planned for publication next year.

Car pool chaos as rock 'n' Rolls-Royce recreates The Who's swimming stunt
Readers with any mechanical sympathies may want to look away now, after a £500,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom ended up in the Tinside Lido swimming pool in Plymouth. However, this wasn't the climax of a drunken billionaire's wild night out. In fact, it was actually Rolls-Royce itself which deposited the six-metre long Phantom Extended – a retired prototype destined for recycling – in the pool. The stunt is part of the British marque's ongoing celebrations for the Phantom's 100th birthday, and a tribute to the car's role in music history over the past century – specifically, the debauchery and excess of rock 'n' roll. Advertisement - Article continues below The company was inspired by the antics of Keith Moon, the immensely talented and famously destructive drummer for sixties Mod legends The Who. The story goes that during his 21st birthday party, 'Moon the Loon', as he was known, drove a Rolls-Royce into the swimming pool of The Holiday Inn in Flint, Michigan. Accounts of the night vary wildly, and it's possible no car went for a swim, but nevertheless the story has become the stuff of legend. Moon died in 1978, but 23 August 2025 would have been his 79th birthday, so now at least one Rolls-Royce has definitely ended up wet because of him. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below If you fancy driving your very own Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool, then check out the Auto Express Find a Car service where you can find loads of great deals on used Rolls-Royce models . Rolls-Royce used the Tinside Lido not because it was the only place that would shut down its pool on a hot summer day, but because it was apparently part of the backdrop in a photograph of The Beatles taken in September 1967, when the Fab Four visited while filming for The Magical Mystery Tour. John Lennon was, of course, one of the Phantom's most famous owners, and in 1972 he unveiled his psychedelic yellow Phantom V. Countless other music legends have played a role in the car's history, including Duke Ellington, Fred Astaire, Count Basie, Elvis Presley, Sir Elton John and Snoop Dogg. Today, Rolls-Royce is mentioned in rap and hip hop songs more than any other car brand. 'From the Golden Age of Hollywood to the rise of hip-hop, over the last 100 years, music artists have used Phantom to project their identity and challenge convention,' said Chris Brownridge, CEO of Rolls-Royce. 'Their motor cars often became icons in their own right, with a lasting place in the history of modern music. 'This enduring connection reminds us that Rolls-Royce and the extraordinary people who are part of the marque's story are united by one ambition: to make their presence felt.'

Actor Kirsten Dunst clarified the correct pronunciation of her first name as 'Keer-sten', noting it is frequently mispronounced. Despite the common errors, Dunst expressed indifference to her name being mispronounced, stating she has 'given up' and 'doesn't care'. She recalled past experiences of pressure to change her appearance, including a Spider-Man producer attempting to straighten her teeth and studio disapproval of her 'goth' look at a film premiere. Dunst confirmed several upcoming projects, including a mermaid fantasy film and another collaboration with director Sofia Coppola. Her next film, Roofman, is scheduled for release in the UK on October 3. Kirsten Dunst reveals correct pronunciation of her name after 'everyone' gets it wrong
