Jacob Rees-Mogg's children's names, wife, siblings and net worth as former MP's reality show is set to air

The series, called Meet the Rees-Moggs, will show 55-year-old politician as he campaigned in his constituency during the election earlier this year, as well as parts of his personal life with his family.

The former Tory MP for North East Somerset, who was one of numerous senior Conservative figures to lose their seats at the General Election on Thursday July 4, let cameras follow him around for the new fly-on-the-wall documentary throughout the election period.

Speaking about the show in the trailer, Rees-Mogg himself says: “Animals, children, an election and a film crew. What could possibly go wrong?"This everyday story of Somerset folk is fun to film but may be a bit more Fawlty Towers than Downton Abbey.”
