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

Alex Home is appearing with spouse Rachel in 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,” said 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.”
