Victoria Coren Mitchell announces birth of second child with husband David Mitchell

Fifty-one-year-old TV presenter and writer, Victoria Coren Mitchell, has announced the birth of her second child with comedian David Mitchell.

The host of BBC’s Only Connect made the announcement of their new baby daughter, named June Violet, on Wednesday.

In a post on X, Mrs Coren Mitchell wrote: “Many people are assuming my tweet yesterday was a Halloween costume.

“Not at all; last week I had a baby and nothing currently fits me except cloaks. Luckily, Only Connect is a pre-record”

Previously, she had shared a picture of herself on 31 October dressed in a red cloak and black top.

A statement published in The Times newspaper said: “MITCHELL on 26th October 2023 to Victoria and David, a daughter, June Violet sister to Barbara.”

Their first daughter Barbara was born in 2015.
