Antiques Roadshow host Fiona Bruce shares fears for future in rare family insight

Host of Antiques Roadshow has shared her fears about the future of her family Christmas after saying she'll be sad if or when her children spend the festive days somewhere else.

The BBC presenter, 60, told Woman & Home about the evolution of her family dynamic and her other Christmases past and present.

She said: "Family togetherness has always been the most important thing in my life. My children are now wonderful adults who I hugely enjoy spending time with.

"In the future, I imagine there will be years when they won't spend Christmas with us and, when that happens, I'll be really sad - but I will just have to give myself a slap around the chops and open a large bottle of champagne, because that's the cycle of life!"

also went into some detail about the changes she had made to other Christmas traditions plus those she had introduced in recent years.

She explained: "In the last two years, I've started making my own wrapping paper. We had this enormous roll of brown paper sitting in the garage for ages.

"Eventually thought, 'You see people in magazines...doing really cool things with brown paper and string. Why not have a go?' So I bought some blocks for block printing and some paints, I laid the paper on the kitchen table, got a pinny on and got busy."

This isn't the first time Fiona has discussed private matters. In another interview with Woman & Home said her doctor was shocked when he found out she hadn't done any exercise after the birth of her son.

Fiona remembered: "I never did any exercise until I went to see a GP before or just after I had Sam." added that the doctor was shocked when she admitted to not having done exercise.

What's more, also said that Antiques Roadshow was the first job she took on following the birth of her children and the "big adjustment" that triggered.

She said: "Antiques Roadshow was the first job I had taken since my children were born that took me away from them consistently over a period of time. That was a big adjustment for all of us."
