Victoria Coren Mitchell, a television personality, has given birth to her second child.
The Only Connect actress is married to Peep Show actor David Mitchell, and the couple has a daughter, Barbara Elizabeth June Mitchell, who was born in 2015.
Victoria, 51, has now disclosed that they have added another child to their family, revealing that she just gave birth to another girl.
And the mother-of-two announced their new addition in the greatest manner possible: by referencing her own Halloween outfit.
On Tuesday, Victoria posted a photo of herself wearing a red cloak and a black lace top, which she followed up with a witty Twitter comment on Wednesday.
She wrote: ‘Many people are assuming my tweet yesterday was a Halloween costume.
DO FOLLOW ME…

‘Not at all; last week I had a baby and nothing currently fits me except cloaks.’
She added: ‘Luckily, Only Connect is a pre-record. Happy All Saints Day!’
Victoria and David had opted to keep their pregnancy a secret, and Victoria had originally withheld any information about their kid, including its name and gender.
However an announcement appeared in The Times which read: ‘MITCHELL – on 26th October 2023 to Victoria and David, a daughter, June Violet sister to Barbara.’
And as fans flocked to give their congratulations to the family, one referenced the secret pregnancy as they joked: ‘Congratulations, does David know?’
Countdown star Rachel Riley was among those wishing them well, writing: ‘Mazel tov, hope you’re both doing well!’
Victoria and David originally met in 2007 after being introduced by mutual friend David Baddiel, and after a brief breakup, they resumed their affair in 2010.
They married in 2012, and their first kid was born in 2015.
