He explained the story on-air. - by Natasha Price

As Hamish Blake and Andy Lee returned to radio after their four week break, new dad Blake gave their listeners an insight into the day his daughter, Rudy Hazel, was born.

The comedian, 35, admitted to his co-host that he nearly missed the birth of Rudy because he needed to go to the toilet.

"I was like do I run off into this hospital blind, hoping to find a toilet but be present and clear headed for the birth of my daughter," he said.

"...Or do I hold it and always remember the moment where I'm like "'she's great but I'm distracted, when can I put her down?'" the new dad added.

Admitting another patron into the nightclub my wife and I run (I'm security, she's the DJ). We have a fairly strict door policy as you have to be a child of the DJ and/or bouncer, so it's always great to get someone new through the door. The photo copy I took of her license says her name is Rudy Hazel Blake and I'm just about to tell her it's a $12 cover charge. Nah, just messing with you Rudy, babies drink for free and you're cute as hell. Free entry.

Luckily, he did get back in time. "I chanced it, I got back," Blake revealed.

Just made a very intense eye-to-eye pact that she definitely won't do any of the shit I did when I was a teenage girl. Phew! Glad that's sorted.

Blake and his wife Zoë Foster Blake are also parents to son Sonny, three.

"Can I wear my baby in a carrier like you? Can I can I can I? Pleeeease?" "Okay okay, dad. Relax."
