She is the presenter of BBC Two's news and current affairs show Newsnight, as well as covering elections for the BBC in the United Kingdom, United States, and Europe.
When she briefly replaced Allegra Stratton, who took maternity leave later this year, and launched an all-female line-up in January 2014, she became Newsnight's acting political editor.
Early life and education
Maitlis was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, to British Jewish parents; her paternal grandmother was a Jewish immigrant who fled Nazi Germany. She is the niece of Professor Peter Maitlis FRS, Emeritus Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Sheffield, and Marion Maitlis, a psychotherapist.
She was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. She was educated at King Edward VII School, Sheffield, and then studied English at Queens' College, Cambridge. She was the only Newsnight presenter not to have attended a private school as of 2019.
Personal life
Maitlis' marriage to investment manager Mark Gwynne, a Catholic, whom she encountered while working in Hong Kong. When she was on vacation in Mauritius in 2000, she proposed to her husband. Milo and Max, two brothers, live in London and have two sons. Maitlis is a keen runner and a WellChild Celebrity Ambassador. She speaks fluent French, Spanish, and Italian, as well as some Mandarin.
At Guildhall, London, Maitlis spoke at the 2012 World Jewish Relief Annual Dinner. Her family is Jewish, though she has said that they are "not very practising."
During 2002, it was revealed that Maitlis had been stalked for more than a decade by Edward Vines, a former platonic friend from her time at university who would appear at her place of work. He admitted to harraging Maitlis and was sentenced to four months in jail, but was released early because of the time he had been detained on remand. A restraining order was served. Vines was sentenced to three years in prison for violating the restraining order in the case of Maitlis in September. Vines was sentenced to three years and nine months in January 2018 for breaching a restraining order, which barred him from contacting Maitlis. In 2015, he denied two charges of breaching the restraining order by sending two letters to Maitlis, as well as emails and letters to her mother. In September 2019, as a prisoner at HM Prison Ranby in Nottinghamshire, he pleaded not guilty to breaching an order restraining him from contacting Maitlis by writing a letter with the intention of having it delivered to her. In February 2020, he was sentenced to another three years in prison, which resulted in his being banned from serving in February 2020. Vines was found guilty of trying to breach a restraining order by writing letters to Maitlis and her mother while jailed, for which he was later received an 8-year prison term.
Maitlis likened the long-term stress to a chronic illness in a BBC Radio 5 Live interview.
