'It's funnier if it's my wife'

Alex Horne is appearing on-screen with his real-life wife, Rachel, in a new series of The Horne Section TV Show

Alex Horne is best known for his partnership with Taskmaster co-star Greg Davies, but he's finally sharing the screen with his actual wife in his other show.

Musical sitcom The Horne Section TV Show has returned for its second series, starring Alex as a fictionalised version of himself and radio presenter Rachel Horne, who married Alex in 2005, makes an on-screen cameo this time. Rachel was a travel news reporter for BBC Radio 2 before joining the Virgin Radio breakfast show as a newsreader - a role she left last year.

“You see a bit of my life. We could have got an actor to play my wife, but I think it's funnier if it's her,” says Alex, who shares three sons with Rachel. “She's in the final scene of the last episode and it's lovely for me. I hope it's nice for her! It's nice for our kids in the future to see us in a thing together. But annoyingly, she's a pro - she's a journalist on the radio.”

While Alex's real wife appears in the show, their Buckinghamshire house does not - as their fictional home belongs to singer Imogen Heap.
