BBC’s Only Connect presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell, 51 who is also the wife of comedian David Mitchell, 49, had an interesting career path before motherhood.
Fans may be surprised to know that the broadcaster was once the producer of a porn movie alongside her pal Charlie Skelton.
Victoria, who is also a professional poker player, had initially taken on a job at The Erotic Review magazine for “a bit of fun” but later believed she could make something better than what she had witnessed.
With the idea in mind, the pair flew to Amsterdam and got an amateur cast together for the film The Naughty Twins, screened for “friends, colleagues and some blokes off the telly”.
Reflecting on her experience in The Independent, the presenter said she and her friend wanted to “treat the actors like people rather than pieces of meat”

Her idea was frowned upon by her family, with her mum’s main concern being that she could end up in “potential danger” despite only being behind the camera.
She explained how she eventually calmed her mother down with “postcards explaining that the only muscleman in our movie had a day job as a floral greetings card designer”.
And, once releasing a book all about their “funny” adventure, her dad phoned her up giggling about the experience.
Victoria did however say that she wondered what her future boyfriends would think about her association with the porn industry.
“Men I’ve spoken to since have tended to be delighted rather than shocked, but this is more scary than reassuring,” she added.

Judging by her lengthy marriage with comedian David Mitchell, he has no issue with her past.
The couple have been married since 2010 and now have two children together.
Victoria once revealed that she thought about marrying David hours into meeting him after David Baddiel tried to set them up.
In 2007, she said: “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’.
“I thought that was ridiculous but, a couple of hours later, I thought I would probably marry him.”
After going on a few dates however, she ended things through email citing that the timing wasn’t right for her.

In his 2012 Back Story, David admitted being dumped left “enormous sadness that overshadowed my life”.
He added: “I was ashamed and I knew what they’d say, ‘Stop indulging yourself in these hopeless feelings. Snap out of it. She doesn’t want to go out with you – she said so’.”
Three years later, the pair rekindled after Victoria split from another boyfriend and the rest is history.
Gushing over his wife, he went on to say: “She’s not only too wonderful, she’s too right for me.
“She’s funny, bright, sexy, nervous and confident in ways that could have been meant for me. I feel very lucky.”
