Who is Annie Mac's husband Toddla T?

Born and raised in Sheffield, Toddla T started DJing at the age of 14 in the clubs and bars of his hometown before he eventually became a full-time musician at 16.

His stage name was inspired by the older Sheffield DJs who influenced him and was also a way of tipping his cap to his relative youth.

He has produced tracks alongside Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys, Roots Manuva and Tinchy Stryder as well as creating and tailoring a mix album for the London nightclub Fabric.

The DJ has long enjoyed successful stints in nightclubs throughout the UK, Europe, North America and Australia and also boasts a quarterly residency at London-based nightclub XOYO while regularly performing at Notting Hill Carnival.

How long have Annie Mac and Toddla T been married for?

Toddla T has been married to former BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac since 2018.

The couple enjoyed a ceremony in April 2018 at a registry office, with Annie reflecting on the day afterwards stating: "Two years ago today we got married, except for it wasn’t the main wedding so we didn’t really think about it.

"I picked the flowers from the garden that morning, and we got a taxi there and we got welcomed by the loveliest woman and we waited in a hall for a bit. Everything was wood panelled and grand.

"Just before the ceremony we were separated. I had to wait in a room by myself and suddenly it all felt very real and there was a picture of the queen on the wall, she was staring at me, and it all felt a bit intimate and intense."

Annie Mac announced her departure from her role at the BBC today (April 20) after 17 years in the job.

The Irish DJ told her fans the reasoning behind the decision, explaining that she wanted more time to explore other endeavours as well as spending time with her children.

She took to social media to say: “I also love the idea of leaving the party (and make no mistake working at Radio 1 does feel like a party) with a huge smile on my face, when I’m still having the most fun I can have. I will be coming back to radio broadcasting when the time is right”

She continued: "In my time on Radio 1, I have fallen in and out of love, moved homes, climbed up the career ladder, got married and become a mother twice over, alongside you doing your versions of the same.

"Thank you for allowing me into your lives. Thank you for brightening my days. Thank you thank you thank you for listening."
