Annita McVeigh, a well-known BBC news presenter, and mother of two, is enjoying her seventeen-year marriage to Martin Reid. She is, however, very private about her personal life and does not want to share much of it publicly.

Husband and Children of Annita McVeigh

The journalist first met her partner Reid at the BBC News 24 fifth-anniversary party, where they fell in love. The couple later married in 2004 and has two children: a son and a daughter. Because she is not a big social media user, her social media posts are usually about her work.

Furthermore, the family of four lives in Hertfordshire, where McVeigh is a literacy governor at her children’s school. And, after a long day at work, she spends time at home with her family and unwinds by watching regular television shows.

McVeigh’s BBC Career

The presenter began her career as a BBC Newsline program reporter in Northern Ireland in the late 1990s. Later, in 2002, she started working as a news correspondent for BBC Network news, reporting for BBC One, BBC Radio, and BBC News. She has also been a BBC News presenter since 2006.

McVeigh’s net worth may have accumulated over decades of her service as a journalist, but it is currently unknown. Her salary as a BBC news presenter, on the other hand, is likely to be around £70,000.

Age, Parents, and Net Worth in a Short Biography

McVeigh was raised as a single child on an Armagh farm and attended school in Dungannon. Her parents, Gerry and May, had a farm, and she helped them with farm work, but they always wanted their daughter to have a successful and prestigious career.

She began taking personal skill development lessons in drama, singing, and elocution at a young age, with the support of her parents. Unfortunately, her father died of a heart attack while she was in her first year of college, studying English and politics. Sadly, her mother died of dementia in a local nursing home in 2015.

Although it was difficult for the presenter to leave her mother for her job in London, she achieved the life that her parents desired for her and is now a well-known BBC news reporter. Aside from her journalism expertise, some of her fans are often curious about her gorgeous voluminous hair while at the news studio, mistaking her hair for a wig. But, fortunately, she has been blessed with great genes to have such great hair, even though she is probably in her 50s.
