Jasper Carrott, the beloved comedian and presenter, captured the hearts of audiences for two years with his hit show Golden Balls. However, it has been 15 years since the show's final season, and Jasper has remained relatively out of the spotlight since then. That is, until now. His famous daughter, actress Lucy Davis, has recently shared a heartwarming photo of her father at his son Jake's wedding.
In the photo, 79-year-old Jasper is seen slow dancing with his wife of 53 years, Hazel. The couple looks blissfully happy in each other's arms, and Lucy was moved to tears by the touching moment. She shared the photo on her Instagram account, writing, "Almost 53 years of marriage. Gave me a bit of a lump in the ol' throat to see my folks dancing together at my brother's wedding."
The photo of Jasper and Hazel brought back fond memories for fans, who expressed their joy in the comments section. "I wish Carrott was still on, I loved the recreated adverts as a kid," wrote Makiter99. Lucy sweetly responded, "Me too!" Others shared their own personal connections to Jasper, with Talloohla writing, "I love your Dad. So many happy memories of watching him on the tele with my dad - who we lost 18 years ago now. He feels like an uncle almost, for the nostalgia and the feels." Themarvelousmrb73 added, "I wish your dad would go on tour again...He is a comedy genius and I still watch his stuff on YouTube. They both look so in love."
Thankfully for fans, they will have the chance to see Jasper in action again as he hits the road in February 2025. Known as the "godfather of British comedy," Jasper's razor-sharp wit and charm will be on full display in his upcoming show. And it seems that Lucy has followed in her father's footsteps, pursuing a successful career in the entertainment industry herself.
Born Robert Davis, Jasper has enjoyed a diverse career as an actor, comedian, and presenter. He has had starring roles in popular shows like The Detectives and All About Me, but it was his hosting gig on Golden Balls that truly cemented him as a household name. During his two-year run as host, he fronted an impressive 289 episodes of the game show, where contestants had to determine the amount of cash hidden in golden balls to progress to the next round.
Jasper's talent and versatility also landed him various comedy shows on the BBC, including Carrott's Lib, a Saturday night stand-up show. Audiences have come to know and love him for his signature style of comedy, which often includes humorous and sometimes autobiographical anecdotes. In 1975, he even released a hit single called Funky Moped, which topped the UK charts.
Despite his success on TV, Jasper has also made time for live performances. He continues to tour and entertain audiences with his unique brand of comedy. In 2015, he even returned to the presenter role for an episode of The One Show. However, in 2017, he had to take a break from touring after undergoing heart bypass surgery. But now, it seems that Jasper is back and ready to make audiences laugh once again.
Jasper has been married to journalist Hazel since 1972, and the couple has three children together - Jake, Lucy, and Jenny. Lucy, in particular, has followed in her father's footsteps, making a name for herself as an actor. She is best known for her role as Dawn Tinsley in the BBC mockumentary The Office, where she shared a memorable slow-burn romance with Martin Freeman's character, Tim Canterbury.
It's clear that Jasper's style of comedy has kept people entertained for decades, and his fans are thrilled to see him back in the spotlight. Whether it's through his TV shows, live performances, or heartwarming family moments, Jasper continues to bring joy and laughter to audiences everywhere.
