Early life[edit]

The son of the international relations scholar R J Vincent and Angela Vincent, Vincent and his family lived in Newcastle in Staffordshire for a time; he attended Newcastle Under Lyme high school from 1985 to 1986. During that time, he played trumpet for the school band.[1] After studying history at the University of East Anglia, he studied journalism at the University of Wales, Cardiff.[2] On graduation he joined BBC Wales as a reporter in Cardiff,[3] reporting for BBC Wales Today. He then joined HTVasWales Tonight's political correspondent covering the Welsh Assembly.[4] In 2009, Vincent was invited back to his old high school, Newcastle-under-Lyme School, in the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme, in Staffordshire, to award school prizes.[1]

More recently, Geraint has spent time with British forces on active operations in Afghanistan—reporting from the front line of Operation Panther's Claw in the summer of 2009, and Operation Moshtarak in the early months of 2010. He presented ITN's ITV Evening News and ITV News at Ten live from the heart of the so-called Big Freeze in early 2010 and was part of the ITV News team covering the Haiti earthquake 2010.

Vincent's newscasting career began when he was assigned regular presenting duties on the now defunct ITV News Channel. In January 2006, he became a relief newscaster for various ITV News bulletins.
