Who is Joe Wilkinson's wife Petra Exton & how long has she been married to the Traitors & 8 Out Of 10 cats star?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) COMEDIAN Joe Wilkinson is all set to join the line-up for the BBC's Celebrity Traitors, heading off to Ardross Castle in Scotland to link up with Claudia Winkleman. But when he's not popping up on our screens, Joe has the support of his wife, Petra Exton. So, who is she? Here's what we know. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Joe Wilkinson will be taking part in the BBC's Celebrity Traitors Credit: Alamy 3 Petra Exton is the wife of Joe Wilkinson Credit: Instagram / Petra Exton Who is Joe Wilkinson's wife Petra Exton? Petra Exton is the wife of comedian Joe Wilkinson, though she tends to keep things pretty low-key and stays out of the spotlight. According to her LinkedIn profile, she has a solid background in the creative industries, working across photography, interior design and talent management. Petra is based in the Greater Brighton and Hove area, and over the years she has taken on a range of roles. From creative operations manager to resource manager and consultant, she has worked at well-known companies like New Natives, Propellernet and Webcredible. She tends to lean towards management, representing talent and providing operational support. One of her standout projects is producing the podcast Chatabix, and if her X (formerly Twitter) profile is anything to go by, she also manages Joe himself, the 8 Out of 10 Cats funny man. Petra herself studied Media Studies at the University of Sussex from 1992 to 1995, then later pursued a Diploma in Photography at the University of the Arts London in 2010. That training opened the door to a variety of creative roles, starting out in studio management and moving into consultancy gigs at places like Glue London, and Red Bee Media. Although her exact date of birth is not publicly known, her education timeline suggests she is in her early 40s, which is fairly close in age to Joe, who was born on May 2, 1975, and is now in his late 40s. Outside of work, she's often seen snapping photos of her travels on Instagram and seems to be a keen runner too. Cooking With The Stars' Joe Wilkinson missed out on place in the final Joe is one of the famous faces who will participate in the BBC's Celebrity Traitors show. How long has Petra Exton been married to Joe Wilkinson? Joe and Petra tied the knot in July 2015, opting for an intimate ceremony at Brighton Town Hall. Keeping things low-profile, they held their reception outdoors at Beechwood Hall in Cooksbridge, surrounded by close friends and family. According to Kent Live, Joe described his life as 'boring,' but says that's actually been quite handy when it comes to finding material for his stand-up. The couple, who don't have any children, tend to keep their life together very private. But back in October 2024, Joe shared a rather eerie moment he had while out on a countryside walk with Petra, a possible run-in with a mysterious big cat, not unlike the legendary Beast of Bodmin. He reckons he spotted a huge feline-like creature roaming across a moor in Dorset. 3 Petra is often seen running in her snaps Credit: Instagram / Petra Exton As Joe told Cornwall Live: 'We were on a country walk and this thing, which looked like a big dog or something in the distance, was walking over the brow of a hill. But it was walking like a cat, you know the way their hips swing. "I thought, 'What the effing hell is that! ? ' as it went over the hill. I was going, 'What the hell is that! ' and Petra is just like, 'huh? ', and didn't see it. "Anyway, I got back to the pub and I was talking about it. Someone overheard and said, 'Did you see the Beast? '. And I was like, 'Yeah, I have! Well, I think I have! '."
