Father's Day is fast approaching, so it's that time of year that everyone wants to tell all of the great dads out there how much they appreciate their work.
Well, one dad has already received some major recognition, and it's not just from his kids.
Mark Hoyle, known to his may online supporters as LadBaby - has been named the Clas Ohlson Celebrity Dad of the Year for 2018.
His win comes right out of the blue, too, once you see who else was in the category with him. He took the accolade ahead of people such as Prince William, Simon Cowell, Liam Payne, and Anthony Joshua.
He celebrated his win on Twitter, posting: "OH MY GOD...WE ONLY WENT AND DID IT!! Yes maaate.
"I can't thank each and every one of you enough for voting for me. Totally shocked and overwhelmed!
"Not only am I now Clas Ohlson UK 'Celebrity' Dad Of The Year for 2018...but I'm now the first person to have beaten Anthony Joshua."

Ever the comedian.
As a matter of fact, much of Mark's popularity comes from not only his zany antics and humour, but also his obvious love and affection for his wife Roxanne and young son Phoenix.
He and his wife also recently welcomed a second child into their family.
