On Anita’s Flog It BBC profile it mentions she is married, however, she has not spoken out about her marriage.
The Bargain Hunt star has two children, a son Luke and a daughter Lala.
Lala shares her mother’s passion for antiques, and the mother and daughter duo have even set up their own auction house together.
The pair established The Great Western Auctions Ltd in 1989 which has since been featured in Flog It, Bargain Hunt and Cash in the Attic.
What illness did Anita have?
Since the TV star hasn’t been on any shows lately, her worried fans think she might be sick.
However, Anita hasn’t said anything about what condition her health is in.
She and her daughter Lala still run their antique shop, The Great Western Auctions Limited.
So it’s safe to assume Manning is in good health.
