Talking as he confirmed the show, Joe said: “We don’t often hear from – or talk about – in the UK. It’s been eye-opening to meet the young men behind the statistics.
“The ones working hard to create a good for their kids. I feel lucky that we’ve been able to help tell their stories and hopefully we can get people thinking a bit differently about young dads.”
As he follows their stories, reflects on his own path into fatherhood and sparks wider conversations about masculinity, the importance of positive male role models, and why it’s time for young dads to be seen, heard, supported — and celebrated.
Reflecting on how becoming a father in his mid-twenties changed his life, sets out across the country to meet other young dads who, like he once did, are navigating the highs and lows of fatherhood.
Joe can currently be seen on with wife Stacey in Stacey and Joe as they navigate the rollercoaster that is life with their blended family.
The couple have three young children together – Rex, Rose and Belle – while also has two sons from previous – Zachary and Leighton and Joe has a son named Harry from a previous relationship.
Ceri Aston, BBC Commissioning Editor, said: “We’re delighted that Joe is fronting this powerful documentary which shines a light on the reality of young fatherhood.
“As someone who became a first-time dad in his mid-twenties, Joe brings a deeply personal perspective to the , giving a voice to young men whose stories are rarely heard.
“We hope this documentary helps challenge stereotypes and reshape perceptions of these dads on their journey through fatherhood.”
