The Masked Singer star Mo Gilligan has been labelled a ‘deadbeat dad’ by a model who says he has rarely seen their 18-month-old son as he gets ready to welcome another baby with his current partner
Mo Gilligan has reportedly secretly fathered a child – and currently has another kid on the way. The Masked Singer star is currently getting ready to welcome his first child with current partner Taia Tulher, 28.
While Mo, 37, is excited for his new arrival with his model partner, the mother of his first child has slammed him as a “deadbeat dad” and claimed he doesn’t see his first born.
While comedian Mo never announced he had become a father, it’s thought he met model Selina Christoforou, 35, online and went on to have a baby. “She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they’d been fairly careful,” a source said.

Speaking to the Sun they added: “She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they’d been fairly careful. But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren’t actually a couple.
“She adores their son and Mo sees him semi-regularly. Now he’s about to become a dad for a second time and he’s over the moon. He has been with Taia for quite a long time now and he feels ready to settle down.”
However, in a TikTok post that Selina shared on Instagram has added her take – and she is less than complimentary about the TV host’s involvement in their child’s life. Taking to social media, she fumed: “I just finally posted on Instagram about my son’s dad so for your information, if you don’t follow my Instagram I don’t blame you. Um, Mo Gilligan is his dad. Very much in quotation marks.
She went on to claim she knows how few times the star has met his son and insists she kept thinking things will get better for her “unbelievable” son. However, she said she understands you “can’t make someone be a dad” and said Mo had made it very clear he wasn’t wanting to be a dad.
