As well as career as a newsreader, Fiona is known for presenting on shows such as Crimewatch, Hive Minds and the Antiques Roadshow. As well as her busy working schedule, the TV presenter is happily married to her husband Nigel Sharrocks. Fiona tied the knot with her husband in 1994.

The pair share two children, 22-year-old Sam and Mia Rose, 19. The presenter keeps her personal life private, but back in 2017, she did reveal that she still employs a nanny to help take care of her children.

"I know it must sound absurd but we have a nanny," the 56-year-old BBC newsreader told the Mail at the time. "Clare has been with us for 19 years. Obviously we don't need a nanny any more, but she's part of our family."

In an interview with the Telegraph in 2015, Fiona admitted that Antiques Roadshow meant leaving Sam and Mia Rose with their dad while she worked, explaining: "Antiques Roadshow was the first job I had taken since my children were born that took me away from them consistently over a period of time. That was a big adjustment for all of us."
