Personal Life
Manning was born with Myopia, commonly known as nearsighted or shortsighted, which caused numerous injuries during the filming of Doctor Who. She has stated, "Once I tried to take the wrong children home from school!"
Manning has twins (a son Jonathan and a daughter Georgina) born in 1979, with partner Dean Harris. She was previously briefly married (for just two months) to Raynor Burton. The children were born premature and suffered health issues, which caused her to move to Australia where she met her long term partner, Barry Crocker. The relationship ended with Manning returning to the UK in 2010.
Manning moved to Australia and was also seen in a famous Ruby Wax television segment here on YouTube with childhood friend Liza Minnelli.
