Just Connect star Victoria told fans: “A lot of people are assuming my tweet yesterday was a Halloween costume.
“Not at all; I gave birth last week and right now nothing fits except a robe. Luckily, Only Connect is the prequel. Happy All Saints Day!”
They confirmed the news in The Times, where they revealed the name of their daughter.
The announcement read: “MITCHELL June 26 October 2023 To Victoria and David, a daughter, Barbara’s sister June Violet.”

Barbara was born in May 2015 and is now eight years old.
Victoria, who is also a professional poker player, met her husband at the premiere of the film in 2007 and they married in 2012.
David Mitchell is better known as the obnoxious and unpleasant Mark Corrigan from Peep Show.
She previously said: “He specifically said to me, ‘There’s David Mitchell, I think you should probably marry him, I’ll get the ball rolling by meeting you.
“I thought it was funny, but, a few hours later, I thought I was probably going to marry him.”
Mitchell later admitted to The Guardian that he felt the same way and was willing to wait a long time to date the presenter while she was dealing with her father’s death.
– I waited three years – he laughed. “Isn’t that strange? Am I not strange? I can’t explain it other than to say that I couldn’t have done anything else. If only I had known that I had to wait three years…I would have gladly suffered 10 times as much.”
David reflected on relationships in his twenties and how he was single for a long time before finding Victoria.
He told The Guardian in 2012, shortly after they got engaged: “I think a lot of people like to date someone, even if they’re not 100% sure about that person, and I think that’s normal.
“These people are normal. But I never felt that way and it worried me because I thought, well that means you’re going to be single – you don’t want it enough.
“I thought I was letting this great barrier of shame condemn me to expiring in solitude.”
Famous for its points of view – which even extended to kissing – and internal monologues, Peep Show first aired on Channel 4 20 years ago.
Olivia Coleman played Mark’s girlfriend Sophie Chapman, and hilarious actors David and Robert Webb continued to work together after the hit series ended.
