Jeremy Paxman Children: Meet Victoria Paxman, Jack Paxman And Jessica Paxman

Victoria Paxman, Jack Paxman and Jessica Paxman are the children of Jeremy Dickson Paxman, an English broadcaster, journalist, author, and television presenter. Their mother is Elizabeth Ann Clough.

Much is not known about Paxman’s children and this is because he refers to keep his private life “out of the spotlight” and says he is not interested in the private lives of others.

Paxman was born in Leeds and was educated at Malvern College and St Catharine’s College, Cambridge, where he edited the undergraduate newspaper Varsity.

At Cambridge, he was a member of a Labour Party club and described himself as a socialist, although in later life described himself as a one-nation conservative.

Paxman joined the BBC in 1972, initially at BBC Radio Brighton, although he relocated to London in 1977. In coming years, he worked on Tonight and Panorama before becoming a newsreader for the BBC Six O’Clock News and later a presenter on Breakfast Time.

Paxman’s work has caught the eye and it has led to him winning several awards and honors;

He received BAFTA’s Richard Dimbleby Award in 1996 for “outstanding presenter in the factual arena.”

• In 1998, he won the Royal Television Society’s Interviewer of the Year Award for his Newsnight interview (see above) with Michael Howard, as well as the Broadcasting Press Guild’s award for best “non-acting” performer.
• He won another Richard Dimbleby Award in 2000 and was nominated for the award in 2001 and 2002.
• He has won five Royal Television Society awards, winning awards for International Current Affairs in 1985, and TV journalism interviewer/presenter of the year four times (1997, 1998, 2001 and 2008).
