Taskmaster's Sara Pascoe gives birth to baby boy and reveals sweet name
Congratulations are in order for comedian and Taskmaster favourite Sarah Pascoe, who has welcomed her second child with husband Steen Raskopoulos.
Pascoe announced the happy news on Instagram on Thursday (October 26), sharing a series of sweet photos and revealing she has named her son Albie.
"I’ve been in a hormone hole for three weeks so excuse my lateness – allow me to introduce baby Albie," Pascoe wrote.

"As a 42 year old infertile woman I can't believe my luck to have had two children (🙏🏽ivf). I also can't believe how much washing there is.
"I'll see you at gigs later in the year when I’ve stopped crying every three minutes, lots of love ps last photo is @steenrasko I think his face sums up the post partum period very well."
Earlier this year Pascoe, who welcomed her first son in February 2022, opened up about her fertility journey to Radio Times.
"As human beings, we're all inconsistent. Something can be true at one point in your life or career, but not true later on," she shared.
"When I did [BBC Sitcom] Out of Her Mind, I was at a stage of my life where I'd got my head around the fact that I was infertile and I really leant into that in the show.

"Then a year later, I had a baby [via IVF]. People who felt close to my narrative said, 'Who are you, then?' And it was like, 'Sorry, people are really complex!'
"When I was infertile, I was really defensive and now I'm a mummy, I do mum jokes. I'm an over-sharer – I'm comfortable with it, and with the discussion that comes after."
Taskmaster series 16 airs and streams on Thursday nights at 9pm on Channel 4, where you can also stream previous series.
