Today is the birthday of Basketmouth’s mother and the comedian, naturally, took to his Instagram page to pen a few words.

But the sweet message isn’t what would get you laughing.

Hint: The comedian is in his late thirties.

Happy birthday to you mummy,words cannot express what you mean to us,I wish you great health, happiness, strength, long life and wisdom. We love you mum. Happy 40th birthday.
