We’re frequently given glimpses behind closed doors at celebrity homes thanks to social media but don’t expect Lee Mack to showcase his family home anytime soon.
The comedian and host of The 1% Club, 56, lives close to Hampton Court in Surrey with his wife Tara and their three children – Arlo, aged 20, Louie, 16, and 13-year-old Millie – and previously said he has “never felt the need” to share the details of their daily life on platforms such as Instagram and Twitter (now known as X).
“I’m not interested in telling people I’m off to Magaluf for three weeks or that I am buying a Cornish pasty. It doesn’t make sense to me,” Lee told The Irish Times back in October 2021.

However, the father-of-three revealed some insights into his home life during the same interview.
Lee Mack’s fun-filled house for three kids
Although his kids are more grown-up, Lee did share some details about the interiors of their family home that were centred around games, and we think it would have been the ultimate playground for the three children!
The feature interview reports that close to Lee’s study, where the chat was being held, there were fun games all around.

Meanwhile, it’s also been reported that Lee often enjoys spending the afternoon working in his garden. “Turning the vegetable patch is easier than thinking of jokes. I always think of it [writing] like building a house: you build the foundations, you build the walls and you put the roof on. And then you wallpaper it. The jokes are the wallpaper with a sitcom.”
Lee Mack’s super-private family life
Lee has been on our screens in shows like Not Going Out and Would I Lie to You? for years now, so he’s easily one of the most recognisable faces on British TV.
But it seems like Arlo, Louie and Millie aren’t too phased when it comes to seeing their famous dad on television.

“They’re really not bothered whether it’s on or not,” he said. “My wife doesn’t really watch it and although my eldest has just started to, it’s not his favourite show by a long way – and why would it be?”
The actor also explained that his family life often inspires the storylines for the comedy. “The truth is I just wanted to write a sitcom about what I am in real life, which is a husband and dad of three kids.”
