Peep Show has been a much-loved Sitcom on TV screens since 2003 and David Mitchell is still famed for his bumbling, nerdy character Mark, alongside his comedy partner Robert Webb as Jeremy.However, unlike David’s extremely awkward character who seems to have no luck with the ladies, the dad-of-one has a very romantic love story, even waiting three years to make his move, reports the Mirror.David and writer, TV presenter and poker player, Victoria Coren Mitchell have now been married for over a decade.

Recalling when they met for the first time, Victoria admitted that within hours she knew she would marry the actor one day. The pair were introduced by fellow comedian David Baddiel, at a film premiere in 2007, Victoria 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."The couple immediately hit it off and connected, but the timing wasn't right as Victoria had just lost her father.The pair went on their first date in 2010, and speaking to The Guardian, David said: "I waited three years.

Isn’t that weird? Aren’t I odd? I can’t explain it other than to say I couldn’t do anything else. If only I’d known I just had to wait three years… I would gladly have suffered 10 times as much."Two years after their first date, the pair wed, with David admitting he would have proposed even sooner if it hadn’t seemed “mad” to do so quite so quickly.
