Now as for her financial statement, Reid's net worth has not been publicly revealed, and therefore remains unknown. Some rumors though have been roaming around about an affair with Charlie Stayt in the internet. However, such rumors of affair haven’t been confirmed.

Aside from her admirable success in journalism, Reid has also debuted a career as an actress teaming with Shirley Anne Field in Agatha Christie’s "Spider’s Web" in 1982, and again in 1985. She took a role with Harriet Walter, Adrian Dunbar, Peter Barkworth, and Derek Thompson in Channel 4. Reid then successfully started her profession at BBC Radio Bristol and she further took charge as a reporter and producer for Radio 5 Live.

Reid is much interested and keen in serving the needy. She was an active contributor to Media Trust, and helped the victims and orphanages staying in Sri Lanka for 3 months in 1998. She is also interested in giving her active participation in social development and hence she featured many social development programs as well. 

Since 2008, Reid has been a participant of BBC’s "Children In Need," and in 2011 she was a part of charity night. Reid also competed in the "Strictly Come Dancing" competition teaming up with three BBC newsreaders where she and her partner, Robin Windsor, were the title winners of the competition.  On April 22nd, 2012, Reid participated in the London Marathon while funding it for Sports Relief, and successfully finished the course in just over 5 hours. Her personal life in general has been successful, and she took her maternity leave later. However, her last show before taking leave was BBC’s interactive service online.
