Journalist Mary Nightingale has been forced to temporarily vacate her home, after being impacted by severe floods.
The ITV Evening News presenter, 58, has explained how she and her husband Paul Fenwick have left their London abode, after the property was damaged by floods throughout the summer.
Speaking with the Radio Times, Mary revealed the flooding has caused significant damage, meaning she and her family have been forced to live elsewhere while repairs are carried out to restore her home.
"We’re not in our West London home at the moment, because it flooded last summer," she told the publication - going on to add how they hope to be back there "soon".
She continued: "We’ve moved out while it’s repaired and the damage is sorted out, so right now we’re in a flat with an incredible view, as far as the Shard and the London Eye one way, and Wembley Stadium on the other.
"It’s pretty fabulous… but we’re moving back soon."
The TV star shares two children, Molly, 19, and Joe, 17, with her husband Paul.
Since starting out as a presenter and writer on World Business Satellite for TV Tokyo, Mary has enjoyed a successful career in TV and journalism.
Prior to becoming best known for presenting the ITV Evening News since 2001, the broadcaster enjoyed stints hosting ITV's flagship holiday programme Wish You Were Here...? and working on BBC World's World Business Report.
Over the years, Mary has covered some pretty big stories and national events - including breaking the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in 2002.
Speaking in her latest interview, the mum-of-two discussed the challenges of reporting tough subjects on camera, and admitted it can be difficult not to tear up with some stories.
"I do feel like crying sometimes but I don’t think it’s helpful," she confessed, adding that it is a struggle not to cry on camera at times.
She continued to admit that throughout the pandemic, reporting the daily death toll was tough and her voice would 'slightly fail' her at times when she had to read out 'sad' and difficult stories.
Mary also opened up about the 'double standards' she feels are in place for women in all walks of professions.
"I think there are [double standards] in life. In everyday life, women are under scrutiny about how we look. With younger people, what's sad is that it's no longer a case of just women worrying about what they look like – young men seem to be under a huge amount of pressure, too," the broadcaster explained.
She added: "Everyone's being told to worry now. But the older I've got, the less I worry about any of it. I'm 60 next year, I've already had a long career, so I think, 'Well, this is me.'."
