Jules Hudson, a familiar face on BBC's Countryfile and Escape to the Country, has had quite an eclectic career journey. Initially embarking on a military path, Hudson soon pivoted towards television, carving out a niche in historical programming.
His foray into TV began with the Discovery Channel, followed by a stint on Channel 4's Time Team. Since 2007, he's been captivating audiences as a lead presenter on Escape to the Country.
Off-screen, Jules enjoys a serene life in Herefordshire with his wife Tania and their son Jack. The family settled into their farmhouse in 2012 after purchasing it for £610,000 and investing around £100,000 in renovations.
In a candid chat with The Times back in 2020, Jules expressed his preference for spacious living over the hustle of London, stating: "We knew what we were looking for - something with space, something with outbuildings."
Moreover, Jules shared insights with The Express about juggling his professional and personal life, saying: "Anybody with any busy life will tell you that the balance between your working life and family life can be tricky."

He continued, reflecting on the challenges of maintaining equilibrium at home: "I've got a young son, we've got our own life here in Herefordshire that is very dear to us, so you know, trying to balance it all can be difficult but it's a partnership, it's a team effort through the family."
Acknowledging the universal struggle of work-life balance, he added: "We all understand it, we have mortgages to pay and bills to pay and all the rest of it, it is our working life."

" and went on with touching details: "Jack and I did the school run this morning, then a pit-stop into HM Dockyard in Portsmouth, now boarding a ship with this lot to Normandy, including a fantastic convoy of London cabs with our wonderful veterans on board."
