Alexander Armstrong is a well-known face on television and radio all over the country thanks to his long-running successful career as a presenter and broadcaster. He's perhaps best known for being the lead host of BBC quiz show, Pointless. 

In addition to Pointless, Alexander regularly pops up on our screens thanks to his other stints on various panel shows such as Have I Got News For You and Would I Lie to You? He's also adored for his comedy career and he's one half of the funny duo, Armstrong and Miller, alongside Ben Miller.

Away from his broadcasting career, however, the presenter can be found at home with his wife Hannah and their children. Want to know more about his family? Here's what we know…

The presenter and his wife Hannah have four young sons together. The couple prefers to keep their family life out of the spotlight, however, Alexander gave fans an insight into his fatherhood journey in a 2017 interview with The Guardian. "Fatherhood is lovely but there is this slightly shocking moment when you realise it is not something you just wear and take off.

"With your first child, you do perhaps go into it thinking, 'Yeah, this is a job you can clock in and clock out of,' but at about three weeks in, you suddenly realise it's not like that."

He added: "Family means everything to me and it is the reason why I do everything, and it, rather than my career, is my priority, and one serves the other. That was the crucial change in my life when we had children because, up to that point, my priority was very much my career. And I am now aware that one funds the other and so it is a tricky balance."
