A NEPO baby with a comedy legend dad has joined TikTok – but can you guess who her famous parent is?
Mollie Evans works in inclusion for improving gaming for disabled people and women both through content creation and a non profit organisation.
In a recent interview with the BBC about inclusion in gaming, Molly said: ‘‘I’d say it’s one of the most talked-about things when a new game comes out – what accessibility options does it have?
“But in terms of employees or characters in games, I think inclusion is still quite low.”
Mollie, who has the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, began gaming at age six.
Her interest in gaming increased at university, where most of her friends studied game design.
“I basically became too ill to do the job I was doing – it was too many hours, and my body just couldn’t handle it.
“I’d already started streaming on Twitch and making gaming content, so I pursued that.”
Taking to TiKTok, Molly posted a beautiful and heartfelt post where she said ” I’m very sorry if you followed me for my dad, you will not see him and I’m very boring.
She continued by explaining that her dad really likes his privacy and that he will never appear on her account.
Her famous father is none other than the hilarious nineties comedian Lee Evans who retired almost a decade ago.
Followers were quick to respond to her post and one wrote: “FIRSTLY! You didn’t disappointment anyone. Not one person at all.

Another stated: “How can you say you’re boring when that’s what you do professionally?? Babes that’s so interesting!!”
“We worked on a big birthday for your mum a few years back, and your Dad was absolutely one of the nicest guys we’ve ever worked with!” explained another.
Another poster wrote: “Do not apologise for being any of those tho gs because you are not.
“You are a lovely genuine brilliantly raised human. Your dad must be extremely proud of you.”

I know who your dad is but that is irrelevant to you. my daughter is blind and has CP. my son is adhd and autistic so I am here for all you do!”
Molly went on to say that she felt like crying due to all the lovely comments she had received.
In 2014, her father, Lee confirmed his retirement from stand-up comedy during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show.
He said at the time: “I am knackered. This is it. Finished. Not doing anything.”
He cited the passing of his manager Addison Cresswell aged 53 from a heart attack in 2013 as one of the reasons he was quitting.
“Well my manager died last year,” Lee added. “Yeah, sorry to get serious. I’m not an ambitious person.
“People asked me to do a film, so I did a film. You asked me to come on here, I came on here. I didn’t ask.
“Addison used to put his arm around me and said, ‘It’ll all be alright,
I’ll look after you.’ It happens in life. People pass away.
“Doing these arenas, it’s been humbling. We have a great laugh (together, with the audience). It’s really important, because it doesn’t last long.”
The acclaimed comedian then added that he was going to use his time to focus on his family.
He shared: “I wanna be there. I’ve always said to Little Mo, ‘I’m sorry I can’t go to the school play cos’ I’ve got to do this work.’
“Now I can go: ‘Yeah let’s go and do the stuff we never did.'”
Lee added: “So this is it. I’m going to go see my wife, give her a big hug, and tell her ‘I’m yours.’ And in a week she’ll say: ‘Get out! You’re getting on my nerves!”
