The 53-year old who has starred in popular TV show's such as Would I lie to you?, Not going out and The Sketch Show has known his wife for many years after first meeting during their university days.
The actor, comedian and presenter married his wife, Tara back in 2005, but he has joked that people assume his other half was only attracted to him because of his fame and success.
One fellow comedian's sister even asked if Lee had to do something heroic to save her life in order to convince her to go out with him, Lee once revealed.
According to the Express, speaking on a podcast last year, Lee said: “We talked the other day with Roisin Conaty.

"And she looked aghast at why this woman would be with me. I thought that's an incredibly bold statement to make after five minutes of meeting someone."
Lee and Tara have three children, Arlie, Louie, and Millie. The comedian normally prefers to keep his family life out of the spotlight, however he did open up about life as a dad in 2017 while talking to the Radio Times.
