The comment was believed to be a reference to his appearance on BBC ancestry programme Who Do You Think You Are? in 2019.
It saw Jack discover that his great-great-grandfather Richard, a travelling salesman, was a bed-hopping womaniser killed by syphilis.
The funnyman smiled on the show as he called him “a bit of a shagger”.
His wedding took place in the grounds of £12million stately home Euridge Manor, near Chippenham, Wilts.
The Georgian-style property is owned by Kate Middleton’s former boss, Jigsaw tycoon John Robinson.
Jack and Roxy invited more than 100 guests, including the comedian’s fellow TV star father Michael and mother Hilary.
Jack and 34-year-old Roxy’s two-year-old daughter Elsie acted as a flower girl.
The comedian’s sister Molly appeared to be a bridesmaid while his brother Barnaby was his best man.
Speaking to The Sun earlier this year, Jack said of Barnaby: “I gave quite a savage speech at his wedding.
“There were a few low blows he wasn’t too appreciative of.

Guests were asked to turn off their phones during the ceremony and were put on a social media blackout.
Cars driving in and out of the venue had blacked-out windows and there were security guards at the gates and by the entrance to the stately home.
Brit Awards host Jack and Roxy started dating in 2020 after meeting on a trip to Australia.
They got engaged in 2024.

“The Real Housewives of Miami” star Lisa Hochstein has been charged with a felony for allegedly spying on her ex-husband.
Hochstein, 43, and her former partner Jody Glidden, 52, were booked on felony charges of unlawfully intercepting oral statements from the Miami housewife’s ex-husband Leonard “Lenny” Hochstein.
Hochstein turned herself in at Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Wednesday morning, according to NBC Miami. The embattled star’s bond was initially set for $5,000, but she was released on her own recognizance later the same day. NBC spoke with Hochstein as she left the Miami-Dade jail and asked, “How was it in there?”
Hochstein’s attorney, Jayne Weintraub, walked alongside the reality star and intercepted questions, answering, “Five stars!”
Hochstein repeated, “Yes, five stars.”
Glidden, who also appeared on “Real Housewives,” was arrested April 12. He has since been released. Hochstein and Glidden have pleaded not guilty. Her arraignment is scheduled for April 20.
According to a March 17 arrest warrant obtained by People, Hochstein and Glidden allegedly placed a recording device in Leonard Hochstein’s Mercedes-Benz following an acrimonious split back in March 2023.
The outlet reported that Leonard Hochstein loaned his car to the “Real Housewives” star after she said she wanted to take it for a test drive because she was thinking of getting one for herself. When the car was returned, Leonard Hochstein allegedly found a suspicious device in the driver‘s side floorboard, covered with tape and hidden from view. The South Florida plastic surgeon contacted his lawyer, who then brought in experts who were able to pull recordings from the device.
A total of 98 recordings were recovered, according to the affidavit, and “one of the last recordings from before the vehicle was returned to the victim depicts Lisa Hochstein and Glidden holding a discussion and the distinct sound of a device such as the hidden recorder being wrestled into place.”
Hochstein can allegedly be heard saying “done.” The warrant also states that Glidden ordered two recording devices of the exact same make and model on Amazon three months prior.
The Hochsteins’ divorce played out on Season 5 of the Bravo reality series after Leonard Hochstein admitted he was in a relationship with another woman and planned to divorce Hochstein during a hot-mic moment that shocked audiences and Hochstein alike.
After the divorce was finalized last year, Hochstein told Entertainment Tonight, “I am very happy right now. It took a long time to get here, a lot of ups and downs, highs and lows, but I’m finally on the other side, and it feels so good.”

Marsh claims the neighbour filmed her animals and doctored clips to make them look “skeletal” after trespassing on her land.
Describing the clash, she said: “I put my hand on his neck because I leaned in to whisper to him.
“I can’t even remember what I said because I was so upset. It lasted around 30 seconds.
“I’m scared to sleep in my own house. I’m scared to go out.”
The former lads’ mag star turned her back on fame to run Fripps Farm rescue centre in Lindsell, Essex.
Marsh is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.
She is charged with common assault, specifically the use of “threatening / abusive / insulting words / behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence”.
Common assault carries a maximum sentence of six months in prison.
But speaking to The Sun, Jodie insisted she did not hurt her neighbour, adding: “I didn’t actually injure him in any way.”
An Essex Police spokesman said: “At around 12.40pm on Friday 16 January officers were called to an address in Lindsell to reports of a woman behaving aggressively towards a man and assaulting him.
“It was further reported that verbal threats were made.
“As a result of further enquiries, charges of common assault and using threatening / abusive / insulting words or behaviour have since been authorised against Jodie Marsh, 47, of Lindsell.
“She is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Friday 17 April.”
Fripps Farm is currently home to over 250 animals including alpacas, emus and reptiles, many of which have been saved from slaughter.
The reality star’s website reads: “Jodie gives a loving home to animals that are either unwanted or in danger of being put to sleep or slaughtered.”
It comes after a fire on her farm killed two of her beloved marmosets.
Fripps Farm hasn’t been without its controversies amid neighbour rows and court battles.
Marsh was left in tears of joy after winning a court battle to keep lemurs at the sanctuary.
She had appealed against a council’s decision to refuse her application for a wild animal licence.
Concerns had been raised about her taking a meerkat to the pub.
She said trolls were behind much of the criticism.
At a previous hearing, clips of screeching zoo lemurs were played to Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court.
But Judge Christopher Williams dismissed the council’s argument about the animals’ noise.

She has continued to have a career in glamour modelling ever since, and has also branched out as a pornographic performer.
But taking to Instagram on Friday, Linsey revealed the time had come for her to retire.
She wrote: “To my loyal fans who have supported me for 33 incredible years, I want to share an important personal decision.
“I will be retiring to focus all of my attention on my adult son, who is severely autistic, has recently left school, and now needs more care and attention than ever.

Alison’s romance was a surprise to many due to David’s age, with her beau thought to be turning 29 next month.
However, Alison – who is a mum to 20-year-old son Aiden – has said their love transcends any age barriers in a new admission.
Addressing the difference, the TV star explained: “I completely understand why people are interested when there’s a 22-year gap, but what I find interesting is that it’s not as interesting when it’s the man who is older.”
Talking to the Daily Mail, she continued: “Why is that? I just want people to be happy for us.
Ahead of spending Christmas together, along with her son Aiden, Alison gushed over her other half.
“Things are going really, really well,” she told the Mirror.
She continued: “He just has the most beautiful energy and everyone feels it when they’re in his presence. It’s very rare.
“I am so grateful that he chooses to spend his life with me.”
Alongside working as a model, David is a massage therapist and first met Alison when she booked in for a massage back in 2023.
Hitting it off, the pair have been going strong ever since.
While they don’t often make public appearances together, Alison has shared a handful of snaps with David to Instagram over their relationship.
Previously addressing their age gap, she assured that David’s maturity makes things work so well.
Alison told Good Housekeeping: “I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference.
“Yes, I’m 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you’d understand. People have said to me, ‘We get it now.’”

Orlando Bloom and Swiss model Luisa Laemmel were snapped last month leaving the Super BowlCredit: BackGridLuisa has worked for Calvin Klein, Maybelline and YSL BeautyCredit: InstagramOrlando and US pop star Katy split last year after nine yearsCredit: Splash
Last week the couple enjoyed a mini-reak in Switzerland, along with Orlando’s pet dog, and the Brit is believed to have met some of Luisa’s pals and family.
They stayed in a luxury suite at the Dolder Grand in Zurich, where rooms cost up to £13,700 per night, as dad-of-two Orlando took part in a promotional event for Porsche.
They then spent the weekend at the five-star Bürgenstock on Lake Lucerne.
A source said: “Orlando and Luisa have been quietly seeing each other for several months.
“They’ve become a proper little family unit and Orlando even flew his teacup poodle Biggie Smalls over for the trip. He is based in Los Angeles while she’s in New York, so they don’t get to see each other all the time. But they’re constantly in touch and there’s a real spark.”
The couple were first linked last month when they were seen leaving the Super Bowl arm-in-arm at Santa Clara, California.
Luisa has a degree in psychology and has worked for Calvin Klein, Maybelline and YSL Beauty.

The card also contained the message: “Husband, you complete me.”
Katie also appeared to have got him a matching mug.
A Louis Vuitton gift bag could also be seen in the background as Lee added the caption: “Wife is just the best.”
It appears to be the first time that Katie has splashed out on her husband with the star previously telling The Sun that she has never paid for anything during their marriage.
She insisted Lee had always paid for everything they did, including her flights out to see him.
Lee then shared a snap of another sentimental gift from his wife.
It was a small pin which featured the design of a man and woman embracing with the names Katie and Lee emblazoned on it.
Lee said of the gift: “The smallest thoughts mean the most.”
He went on to share a look at the words Katie had written for him in his card, which said: “To my forever husband!
“Happy Birthday! I will share your whole life celebrating with you!
“I love you to infinity love from your wife Katie x.”
Katie has been spotted at the airport heading to see Lee after a few weeks back in the UK.

Other companies are running limited flights whilst the fighting continues.
