TV Presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell Welcomes Second Child

TV presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell and comedian David Mitchell are celebrating the birth of their second child, June Violet Mitchell.

Victoria, best known for hosting the BBC quiz show “Only Connect,” welcomed their newest addition to the family last week.

This joyful news comes after Victoria posted a picture of herself in a red cloak during Halloween, sparking some speculation. However, she clarified on Wednesday that her tweet was not a Halloween costume but a reflection of her post-pregnancy wardrobe. She humorously mentioned that she had a baby last week, and her attire choices were limited to cloaks. Fortunately, “Only Connect” is prerecorded, allowing her to enjoy this special time.

The birth of June Violet adds to the family, joining her older sister Barbara, born in 2015. This lovely news was also officially shared in The Times, with a statement reading, “On 26th October 2023 to Victoria and David, a daughter, June Violet, sister to Barbara.”

Victoria Coren Mitchell and David Mitchell’s journey began in 2007 when they met at Jonathan Ross’s Halloween party. Despite Victoria being in a relationship with someone else at the time, David fell hopelessly in love. Their love story led to marriage in 2012, and they now have two beautiful daughters.

Victoria, in addition to her television career, is a professional poker player, while David Mitchell is well-known for his role as Mark in the comedy sitcom “Peep Show” and his collaborations with Robert Webb. Their story is a testament to the power of love and the journey that led to their beautiful family.

Victoria Coren Mitchell had kept her pregnancy low-key on social media, hinting at a break from her TV column for The Telegraph. She also recently hosted an episode of “Have I Got News For You” on BBC One.

This heartwarming family story reminds us that love can triumph and lead to new beginnings. We wish Victoria, David, Barbara, and June Violet all the happiness and joy in the world as they continue this exciting chapter in their lives.
