A comedian has found himself under fire after mocking his pregnant wife’s walk.

Daniel O’Reilly – known as Dapper Laughs – filmed his heavily-pregnant wife in a UK supermarket while poking fun at her gait, Kidspot reports.

The TikTok has since gone viral, and comments suggest the joke may not have landed as he originally expected.

In the video, O’Reilly asks why pregnant women “walk like they’re about to start a scrap (fight)?”

At one point, he films his wife Shelley walking ahead of him towards two other people.

“She looks like she’s just come out of Wetherspoons (a pub), 10 Stellas (beers) deep on the pub grub,” he joked.

He then calls for his wife to “start on these two now” as she gets closer to the supermarket employee and another customer.

Shelley, clearly sick of her husband’s antics, tells O’Reilly to “shut up” while walking away.

The Sun reports a lot of women were quick to slam the comedian in the video’s comments, saying he could never understand what being pregnant feels like.

“Triggered a lot of expecting mums with this one,” one wrote.

“(We walk like that) because we’re in pain, baby is heavy & pushing down!” another added.

“Because there is literally a bowling ball between my legs,” a third commented.

“It’s a level of discomfort you can’t understand unless you’ve lived it,” someone else wrote.

“The head. The pressure, the swollenness,” another said.

“It honestly feels like the head is right at the entrance so you have to walk like that to make it more comfortable,” someone else wrote.

“The last few weeks are a living hell.”

“Ah leave her alone, bless her,” another wrote.

“Comedians’ wives must be stressed 24/7,” one person commented.

However, many of O’Reilly’s fans found the video hilarious, with some sharing their own stories of teasing their partners during their pregnancies.

“It’s funny cause it’s true,” one wrote.

“Poor Shelly, she looks so uncomfortable, bless her!”

“Oh my god I was about to get defensive, being a heavily pregnant woman but I’m crying,” another commented.

“She just needs a tracksuit and some airmax 95’s (sneakers),” a third said.

“This had me in stitches, go on Shelley!” someone else said.

“As a pregnant woman I AM HOWLING,” another commented.
