A third questioned: "Did you really faint???!!!!"
Speaking from hospital, he told his viewers in a sweet video: "So Grace has just had our baby and I'm sat here in the very relaxing postnatal department and the staff have been great.
"The nurses have been coming up to me all morning and congratulating me which - it's just been lovely. I didn't realise how many people knew what the Chortle Comedy Award for Best Show was but you know, at least these nurses have their finger on the pulse, they really do. Just shows you how well the NHS is doing, really.
"I should have brought the award with me but I wasn't thinking."
Jokingly rolling his eyes, he couldn't keep a straight face as he said: "The baby. But yeah, no, great week actually. Really great week, actually."

Grace jetted out to meet Seann at the time and admitted that she hoped the jungle stint would change the public's perception of him after kissgate.
Asked if she was missing Seann, she said: "I do really miss him but I want him to have the full experience I want him to be in as a long as possible just so he has those memories and yeah I am pregnant so it is strange but I have done all my scans and he was there for all of those so I am now at the point where I have no scans left anyway so it has been fine."
Referring to the Strictly fallout, she said: "I hope this is a new chapter. This is the Seann I know and so I hope so I haven’ tried to look too much online I just go off what everyone that has been messaging me says and it is all positive. I am really happy for him."
