Fiona Bruce is a well-known star in the TV world all thanks to her extensive career in broadcasting. The presenter, 60, has been gracing our screens for years, having initially joined the BBC as a journalist in the 1990s before progressing to present the BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten.

While Fiona Bruce is a familiar face on the BBC thanks to Antiques Roadshow and Question Time, what do we know about her life off-screen?

Fiona’s home life with her husband of 30 years and children

Fiona is married to businessman Nigel Sharrocks, who holds the position of non-executive chairman at advertising company Digital Cinema Media, which provides cinema advertisements to Cineworld, Odeon, and Vue cinema chains.

He previously held the role of Managing Director of Warner Bros Pictures UK in the 2000s. The couple tied the knot in July 1994, reportedly first crossing paths when they both worked at an advertising agency.

The couple have two children together, Sam, 27, and Mia, 23. Discussing the challenges of juggling motherhood with her career, Fiona once confessed to Good Housekeeping: “Did I spend enough time with my children? I think scratch the surface of any working woman and she will always think, ‘Probably not.’

“I don’t think there’s such a thing as quality time with your children,” she added. “I think it’s quantity. But there’s never been any question that they take precedence over everything in my life, and always have done.”

In another chat, Fiona disclosed that she became a “light drinker” after having children. “I’ve turned up for work with a hangover before, but not since the kids came along,” she admitted to Woman & Home in 2024 ahead of celebrating her 60th birthday party.

“I’m a very light drinker these days. If I’m out, I don’t particularly want to go to bed early, and if I have more than a couple of glasses of wine, I get really sleepy, and I don’t want to be sleepy because I want to enjoy the night!”

Fiona’s ‘life-changing’ passion

Fiona’s ‘life-changing’ passion for antiques has become a central part of her life since she began presenting Antiques Roadshow in 2008. In a heartfelt chat with The Sunday Post back in 2019, Fiona opened up about how the show has transformed her interests. “I know more than when I started, that’s for sure, and I’m a hugely enthusiastic antiques buyer, auction bidder and junk shop devotee,” she confessed.

“It sounds a bit dramatic, but it has changed my life. I’m not interested in shopping for modern things. It started as an interest on the programme and now it’s a passion,” she elaborated.

Fiona’s hobby away from TV

Away from the TV lights, Fiona is also quite the green-fingered gal, enjoying her time in the garden and looking after her veggies.

During a cosy segment on The One Show in 2022, ex-host Jermaine Jenas quizzed her about her gardening skills, to which Fiona humorously responded: “Not a very talented one though!”
