David Mitchell and Victoria Coren, 51, made a rare appearance together as they attended a star-studded bash at The Farm Shop in Mayfair on Monday night – 10 months after welcoming their baby daughter.
The actor, 49, and Victoria, 51, made the surprise announcement last year they had welcomed their second daughter, June Violet, on October 26.
And they were enjoying a night off from parenting this week as they headed to the party which was also attended by the likes of Katherine Ryan and Claudia Winkleman.
For the party Victoria looked summery in a blue flower patterned dress which she wore with stiletto heels and a glitzy gold bag.
She looked in great spirits as she headed home with David by her side who looked smart in a navy suit.

The pair were then seen hopping into a black cab to head home after the rare night out together.
Comedian Katherine, 41, packed on the PDA with her husband Bobby Kootstra as she headed home – looking stylish in a black top and jeans.
Singer Gary Kemp, 64, was also in attendance at the party where he was joined by his glamorous wife Lauren Barber.
David and Victoria, who are also parents to daughter Barbara, nine, appeared in high spirits as they left the bash with smiles on their faces.
Victoria announced the birth of their second child in a Twitter post where she lightheartedly joked about her Halloween costume.
After sharing a snap of herself in a red cloak on October 31 she followed up by writing: ‘Many people are assuming my tweet yesterday was a Halloween costume.
‘Not at all last week I had a baby and nothing currently fits me except cloaks. Luckily, Only Connect is a pre-record. Happy All Saints Day!’.
The news was later confirmed in The Times with an announcement which read: ‘Mitchell on 26th October 2023 to Victoria and David, a daughter, June Violet sister to Barbara.’

Professional poker player Victoria is best known for hosting BBC2’s quiz show Only Connect, while David starred as socially awkward Mark in the sitcom Peep Show.
Victoria kept her pregnancy a secret, but before giving birth, she hinted at her upcoming maternity leave as she cryptically tweeted about taking a ‘little sabbatical’ away from her work as a TV host.
She told how she had pre-recorded some TV shows, including her hosting gig on Only Connect, as she shared her last TV column in The Telegraph before her break.
Victoria wrote: ‘My TV column today is the last in a while – I’m taking a little sabbatical, though I HAVE recorded some TV shows for people to shout at in my absence. For my last pre-break column I’ve written about Blankety Blank and my new friend Lozza.’
The pair met at a showbiz party in 2007, and even though David admitted he was instantly smitten with the fellow writer and broadcaster, three years went by before they actually got together.
Victoria was in a relationship with someone else at the time and turned down the comedian’s advances.
In his autobiography Back Story, David spoke out about the agony of not being with the love of his life for those years, and how it led him to midnight walks in the park and frequent visits to the pub.
DJ Pete Tong, 63, was also in attendance at the party and looked casual in a navy ensemble while out and about
Claudia was joined by her husband Kris Thykier and the pair were seen heading home in a taxi together
