Jacob Rees-Mogg's sister had worrying four-word verdict on new reality show
Jacob Rees-Mogg's sister admitted she had reservations about her brother's new reality show.
Their five-part series, Meet the Rees-Moggs, which streams on Discovery+ from Monday (December 2), follows the former Tory MP and his wife, Helena de Chair as well as their six children in the lead up to this year's general election.
Rees-Mogg, a hardline Tory Brexiteer who lost his seat in North East Somerset and Hanham in July’s general election, recognised that his new venture opens him up to the possibility of ridicule.
"I’m well aware that there are risks in reality TV,” he said. And the politician isn't the only one who was apprehensive.
Speaking to GB News, Annunziata Rees-Mogg told GB News: "I had big reservations. And Jacob gave all his children the choice whether to appear or not and I discussed it with my own, because we were in Somerset over the summer and the camera crews were around.

The two younger ones didn't really know what the question was and the 13-year-old was happier to not be in the spotlight, and they never have been.
"I think that's where Jacob took less of a risk because his children have been photographed left, right and centre from the day they were born, in newspapers, in cartoons, taking the mickey out of their names and whatever."

"Helen is brilliant. I had the great pleasure of introducing them as adults," she gushed. "It's all my fault that there are now six extra Rees-Moggs around.

Annunziata added: "But she is a fantastic fun, but very, very steely, as you say, a woman who knows her own mind. I think she, from the clips, looks an absolute natural. She is very funny."
The TV show is filmed at his 17th century Somerset mansion, Gournay Court, which he shares with his family.
Rees-Mogg and Helen decided to name their blossoming brood after medieval saints, including Aldred Wulfric Leyson Pius and Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher.
Annunziata admitted: "I don't think it's going to be particularly surprising that their family life is quite old fashioned, that they actually sit down for dinner with each other, that they sit and talk to each other, that there's a lot of family interaction, and that they are just a great big old-fashioned family."
