Jimmy's comments refer to his alleged involvement in a tax avoidance scheme that came to light in 2012. Reflecting on that time, he admitted:"People thought, because of the type of comedy I do, that it was water off a duck's back to me. But it wasn't. It was really horrible. I had panic attacks."Jimmy only confirmed news of his son’s birth last month during a stand-up gig at the O2 Academy Brixton.
Jimmy has been in a long-term relationship with his partner, Karoline Copping, since 2001. The pair reportedly met at a television interview during auditions.Canada-born Karoline was working at the time as a commissioning editor for Channel 5 and Jimmy was auditioning for a show. She is credited on two of Jimmy's recorded projects: Jimmy Carr Live and Jimmy Carr: In Concert.
