Whether there are brand new episodes or we're watching it on catch-up, we never tire of watching the lovely series of Escape to the Country. One of the stars of the show, Ginny Buckley, has become a regular face since joining the BBC show.
But what else is there to know about the presenter? We did some investigating and here's all the info you need...
Early life
Ginny is a TV and radio presenter, writer, actress and broadcaster. After moving to Australia from Rochdale aged 18, she went on to begin her career working in commercial radio stations and as a junior in various newsrooms.
A few years later, Ginny returned to home turf and landed a job working on children's BBC TV Children's gameshow The Wetter The Better.
Career
Since then, Ginny's professional life has taken off. The journalist, now aged 56, went on to work on other different shows such as ITV's Granada Tonight and Taste for Travel. Clearly enjoying the lifestyle aspect of presenting, in 2005 she then began working on BBC one-off programme Holiday, before being replaced by Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen.
After briefly returning to news reporting at Sky, Ginny then started presenting other flagship shows such as Crimewatch, ITV's Tonight and Watchdog.
The TV star joined the BBC programme in 2015 alongside the likes of Nicki Chapman, Jonnie Irwin and Sonali Shah. Ginny still presents the show to this day, and often posts filming updates and location pictures with her followers on social media.
Family
Ginny is clearly protective of her private life, and it's not known whether the presenter is married or in a relationship. However, Ginny is a mother-of-one to Zak. To mark his 15th birthday back in August, she shared several photos of her young man.
The 56-year-old wrote: "And just like that my beautiful boy is 15 and taller than me! Wishing you the happiest of birthdays and a year filled with all the good things you deserve - climb that ladder to the stars! I love you to the moon and back and I'm so proud of you, mum x."
She is also a proud auntie to nephew Maxie, and opened up about missing him during the pandemic as he resides in Australia. Posting a photo of herself with Maxie, she wrote: "Happy Australia Day to all my Aussie friends and family. Especially my gorgeous nephew #MaxieBK who we miss so much. Zak and I can’t wait to be back in our second home and give you a huge cuddle. Take care Australia, we miss you."
