The 44-year-old comedian said: “I’m separated right now and people thought it was a joke but it wasn’t. And some people were like, ‘Do you want to promote a show?’ And I was like, you definitely do not know my design.

“I do not bring my personal matters on a public platform and put my personal things out there.

“But it was something that I needed to do and for reasons best known to me. And I did that. And yeah, we’re cool, everything is fine.”

When asked if it was before the 12 years, Basketmouth said: “No, it was actually after the 12 years. I completed the 12 years in November and that happened in December.”
