Josh has had many opportunities since becoming a young dad, from being offered a job with NEYDL and a placement at the University of Sunderland, to appearing in the BBC documentary.
He is studying Childhood Studies at the university while working full time as a peer enabler for the charity.
“I still feel like an imposter,” he said.
“I’ve got a lovely job that I absolutely love, I’m at university full time [and] I’ve got a gorgeous family.
“I’ve got everything I ever wanted – and that’s because I’m a young dad.”
Josh married Katie in July, which forms part of the documentary.
“Your age doesn’t define how great of a dad you are,” he told BBC Radio Newcastle.
“If we can just shed a bit of a positive light on young dads and young parents – if we can just change one person’s mind – then to me, that’s worth it.”
Fay Cavagin, senior lecturer in childhood and primary education at the University of Sunderland, said Josh is bringing “amazing experience and skills” which will change the lives of children and families.
“He’s already sharing his own experiences as part of class discussions and helping shift perceptions around young dads.
“We will all be tuning in to see him on TV,” she added.
