He wrote on his own Twitter page this afternoon: ' Having received so many lovely messages today, I'm finally coming round to the idea of the internet. Thank you all. I'm incredibly happy. David previously spoke out insisting he hated dating and was much happier single. He has said: ' I just find it incredibly awkward. But after spending seven years as a singleton, he slowly started to reveal he was involved in a relationship, stating that he was 'seeing someone' in late That someone turned out to be Victoria, who is the daughter of late TV personality and writer Alan Coren.

But he does more than merely answer questions. The chapter about Coren is downright uxorious and written in a very different tone. Did he find it easy to write? The book is structured as a walk through London from his flat in Kilburn to BBC Television Centre, allowing Mitchell to throw in nerdish facts about London, his life story and funny riffs about things that just bloody well annoy him, such as pubs with flat roofs and the stupidity of Captain Hastings in Poirot.
It is a very Mitchell and Mark Corrigan concern, more anxious about the impression he gives than any question of authenticity. Certainly my clothesline is none of my work — they just ran them by me. When he originally conceived of the book, it was going to be mainly about the London walk but, gradually, the memoir element took over.
Obviously my state of mind became happier, so I thought, why not? What about the suggestion that his recent weight loss and new beard are part of a post-relationship makeover?
The thought that you might actively try and meet women… was ridiculous. That would be like saying you fancied someone to their face! Those people are normal. Yet he seems unembarrassed about discussing his private life and professional ambition. Most of the people who say that are lying, and people must be called on those lies.
If you have really worked, say that, and when you want something that lots of people want and not everyone can have, like working in comedy, you do have to plug away. Mitchell is often described as posh and this irks him. Eton and Cambridge are often lazily lumped together in a way that harms our whole civilisation. If that seems extreme, it is perhaps not surprising that Mitchell is especially protective of Cambridge.
After so many years of fretting about his personal and professional life, Mitchell is quite happy to stand still and enjoy precisely what he wanted for so long.
Hadley Freeman. Defiantly untrendy, eternally single, a 'useless loner who eats ready meals in the dark'. This is the David Mitchell we've come to know.
