Irita Marriott has become one of our favourite Antiques Road Trip stars, having only joined the BBC One show's line-up of presenters and antique experts in 2021.
Irita is a great expert for the show, having worked as a cataloguer and valuer at a leading auction house based in Derbyshire. The star currently deals with precious and beautiful items full time and sources gems from her enjoyment of traveling Europe. The expert also runs her own business, Irita Marriott Antiques.
But how much do you know about her when the cameras are off? Find out more about Irita's family here…
Husband
Irita likes to keep her cards close to her chest when it comes to her personal life so not much is known about her life away from cameras, but Irita has confirmed that she is indeed married. Not much is known about her husband, except that the happy couple currently live and work in Bristol.
When she's not appearing on Antiques Road Trip, Irita can be found at the Wessex Auction rooms where she is head valuer. It's not known what her spouse's occupation is.
Children
Irita is a proud mother of two. Writing on her website, the star revealed that she and her husband share "two lovely sons". The children play a part in Irita's career and she once described her leisure activity as: "Hunting for antiques with my two boys in tow."
She continued: "They are developing a love for it and I love watching the excitement of them finding things and learning about them."
Joining Antiques Roadshow
In April 2021, it was announced that Irita would be joining the likes of Philip Serrell, David Harper, Natasha Raskin Sharp and more on Antiques Road Trip. Irita was clearly thrilled to be joining the show and took to her Instagram to share an image of her on set.
"I am very proud and delighted to finally officially announce being part of BBC Antiques Road Trip team!" she wrote in the caption.
Her followers were equally overjoyed with the news. One person said: "Stop it I'm too excited! You're amazing, you look amazing." Another wrote: "Congratulations I'm sure that you will be brilliant and I hope you can do one with Christina."
