DAVID Mitchell is known as one of the funniest men in the country, thanks to programmes such as Peep Show and game show Would I Lie To You?
Here is the story of the panel show regular, who often works alongside his best friend and fellow comedian Robert Webb…
Who is David Mitchell?
David was born in Salisbury, Wiltshire, on July 14, 1974.
He read history at Cambridge University and it was there that he met his Peep Show co-star Robert Webb.
Comedy took over David's university life, at the expense of his academic success, and he ended up graduating with a 2:2.
David and Robert scored starring roles in Peep Show in 2003, as flatmates Mark Corrigan and Jeremy Usbourne.
It continued for nine series, making it the longest-running sitcom in Channel 4 history, and David won a Bafta for the show in 2009.
The final episode aired in December 2015.
He and Robert have also had a number of successful comedy sketch shows under the 'Mitchell and Webb' brand.
David also played surgeon Dr Toby Stephens in BBC2 sitcom Doctors and Nurses, wrote for sketch show Dead Ringers and voiced Mitch in Disney series Phineas and Ferb.
The comedian also stars in Upstart Crow, a comedy about William Shakespeare.
He has taken part in a number of high-profile government campaigns, including playing Pablo the Drug Mule Dog in an advert for FRANK.
On June 8 along with Jeremy Paxman and Richard Osman David presented a lighter take on the Election night coverage called Alternative Election Night.
Who is David Mitchell's wife?
David met professional poker player Victoria Coren, the sister of Times journalist and restaurant critic Giles, in 2007 – and was immediately smitten.
They didn't go on their first date until December 2010, and they announced their engagement in March 2012.
The couple married later that year and welcomed their first daughter in May 2015.
They live together in Kilburn, north-west London.
