The 41 year old presenter of BBC Four's Only Connect and panel show regular is a familiar face to many, but there's much more to her than the ability to deliver witty one liners on television. Here are five of the most interesting facts about Victoria Coren Mitchell;

1) She is the only person to have won two European Poker Tour Main Event titles:

Victoria is widely respected as one of the world's best poker players. As explained in this interesting infographic by PokerStars, she took her first EPT title in 2006 in London's Victoria Casino, a venue she regards as a second home.

Her second came in April of this year in San Remo. The prize money for these tournaments was $941,513 and $660,937 respectively.

Coren Mitchell has been a regular winner of large cash prizes over the course of the last decade and can often be found playing online at PokerStars.com.

2) She once produced and directed an adult film:

While working for the Erotic Review, Coren Mitchell and her best friend, Charlie Skelton, came to the conclusion that they could make a better film than the ones they were being paid to write about.

They then spent a year trying to make the greatest naughty movie of all time before recording their experience in a humorous book titled Once More, With Feeling (2003).

The book has received many positive reviews, but the film, titled The Naughty Twins, is yet to be released to the general public.

3) She started her professional writing career at the age of 14:

Victoria's first published work was a short story that she sent to Just Seventeen magazine. The following year, she won a competition to write a column on teenage life for the Daily Telegraph. This continued for several years.

Her work since then has included a memoir of her poker career called For Richer, For Poorer, a play about the death from cancer of journalist, John Diamond, and on going columns for The Observer and GQ.

4) Her brother is journalist and TV presenter, Giles Coren:

As well as being The Times' restaurant critic since 1993, Giles has presented humorous TV programmes such as "Supersizers" series, alongside comedian Sue Perkins, for the BBC.

His debut novel, Winkler, was nominated for the Literary Review's Bad Sex in Fiction award in 2005. Victoria credits Giles for introducing her to poker as a teenager, a game which she apparently took up in order to meet boys.

Together, Victoria and Giles edited and wrote the introduction for a collection of their father, Alan Coren's, humorous writing.

5) Her husband, Peep Show's David Mitchell, spent three years waiting to have a relationship with her:

Coren and Mitchell met in 2007 and went on a few dates before she broke off the relationship. Mitchell then spent the next three years alone before they got back together and got married.
