David Mitchell and Victoria Cohen announce engagement

The Peep Show and 10 O’Clock Live star and Only Connect host made the news in typically understated style.

 

The advert in the newspaper's births, deaths and marriages column reads: "Mr D.J.S. Mitchell and Miss V.E. Coren. The engagement is announced between David, son of Mr and Mrs Ian Mitchell, of Oxford, and Victoria, daughter of Dr Anne Coren and the late Mr Alan Coren, of London."

 

Victoria Coren wrote on Twitter earlier: “Thank you for your nice tweets this morning. I'm very happy.”

 

It is one year since David Mitchell revealed their relationship in a similar quiet style, to the Telegraph’s gossip column.

 

Prior to his relationship with Coren, Mitchell had spoken publicly about feeling awkward dating.
