Her husband, David Mitchell, is a well-known figure in British comedy and television. Together, they make up a dynamic duo, both personally and professionally, and their journey from the first introduction to their current status as one of Britain’s most beloved couples is nothing short of fascinating.
The story of Victoria Coren Mitchell and David Mitchell’s relationship began with a bit of matchmaking from fellow comedian David Baddiel. Baddiel played the role of Cupid and introduced the two.
Victoria revealed, “He specifically said to me, ‘There’s David Mitchell over there, I think you should probably marry him, I’ll get the ball rolling by introducing you.’”
David, in his 2012 autobiography “Back Story,” shared his initial hesitations, admitting that he was pretty sure Victoria was flirting but was reluctant to believe his instincts, thinking it seemed too good to be true. Little did he know that this chance introduction would mark the beginning of a love story for the ages.
