Jacob Rees Mogg and his wife Helena reveal stern rules they gave TV bosses ahead of their new reality show

JACOB Rees Mogg and his wife Helena have revealed the rules they laid out for TV bosses ahead of their new reality show.

Former Tory MP Jacob will allow the cameras into his home for the fly-on-the-wall series.

Fans will get to see inside the 55-year-old's Somerset mansion, as well as his five million pound London home.

But before cameras could start rolling Jacob and Helena de Chair, 47, had a stern rule when it came to their children.

Speaking at the launch of the show - which drops on December 2 on Discovery+, Jacob said: "I think the only things that we were concerned about was anything about the children.

"Obviously we didn't want the children and this was very much my concern before we started filming that if the children were upset about something or something had gone wrong or whatever it was, I thought that needed careful handling.

"But the film crew who are in the front row were absolutely brilliant and were very good about the children."

The crew were also banned from recording them if they were not fully dressed - which in Jacob's mind, means a full suit attire.

Jacob and Helena first met in 2005 and have six children together - Peter, Mary, Thomas, Anselm, Alfred, and Sixtus.

Helena added that their children all embraced the show in their own ways, explaining: "Mary loves it.

"They probably don't think of themselves as TV stars or perhaps people in the audience will think about it. Alfred and Sixtus are only eight and seven and they're very much around and I think the older ones are of course more aware and more self-conscious.

"I think the older ones probably wonder what their school friends will think.

"But they were all involved to varying degrees. Obviously those who were at day school more than those who are, during term time, away at boarding school and in some cases only hanging out every three weeks with the old boarding boys.

"Mary certainly threw herself into it and did the best she could."

Meet the Rees Moggs will drop on Discovery+ on December 2nd.
