David Mitchell 'very happy' following arrival of second child

David Mitchell has broken his silence following the arrival of his second child.

The comedian's wife, Victoria Coren Mitchell, announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday that she had given birth to their second child.

The Peep Show actor later broke his silence by replying to a tweet congratulating them on their new arrival.

"Thank you! We're very happy," he simply responded.

The Only Connect host revealed the baby news when she jokingly explained a photo of her wearing a red cape on Halloween on Tuesday.

"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," Victoria, 51, joked. "Luckily, Only Connect is a pre-record. Happy All Saints Day."

A subsequent notice in The Times announced that the couple had named their baby June Violet.

It read, "MITCHELL on 26th October 2023 to Victoria and David, a daughter, June Violet, sister to Barbara."

David and Victoria got engaged in 2012 and tied the knot later that year. Their first child, Barbara, was born in May 2015.
