Fiona Bruce Husband: Meet Nigel Sharrocks

Fiona Bruce met Nigel Sharrocks when he was the director of the advertising agency where she worked. He is a non-executive chairman of Digital Cinema Media. They married on July 1994 in Islington, London.

The couple has two children, a son born in January 1998 and a daughter born in November 2001, and live in Belsize Park, London and also have a second home in Sydenham, Oxfordshire. Bruce encountered much adverse publicity for her decision to return to work with Crimewatch 16 days after the birth of her daughter.

Bruce was awarded the female Rear of the Year title in 2010, and accepted in person. The following year, however, she declared that her acceptance of it had been hypocritical and that the award was demeaning.

Bruce has regularly appeared on the BBC’s annual Children in Need telethon, performing musical routines alongside fellow BBC newsreader. Her rendition of “All That Jazz” in the 2007 edition, while performing as Velma Kelly, led the directors of the revival of Chicago to invite her to the London performance of the 10-anniversary gala, where she appeared on stage in a parade of Velmas.
