Megan McCubbin Parents

Wildlife presenter Megan McCubbin is the step-daughter of Chris Packham. Megan was just two when her mother, Jo McCubbin, a specialist nurse for the NHS, first introduced her to Chris, and although the couple never married, the family lived together and travelled extensively, introducing her to the wonders of nature and endangered species from an early age.

When Chris and Jo sadly split up, in 2007, he was determined to remain a permanent fixture in Megan’s life – they have been inseparable ever since. Chris Packham has been with his partner, Charlotte Corney, since 2007.

Megan credits her step father Chris with her own passion for wildlife. “His fascination in nature is so infectious that you can’t help but be excited by what he is excited by,” she told The Daily Telegraph. “He introduced me to a porcupine at a zoo when I was little and that was it.”

Megan and Chris still share such a close bond, despite Chris splitting up with her mother when she was 12 years old. The pair think of each other not as step-dad and daughter, but “best friends,” adding, “We have such a deep respect for one another. We have not lived together since I was 12, but I have always come backwards and forwards to spend a week or weekends at his house.

“To have this lockdown period of time has been great – spending time doing what we love outdoors. We both love learning about nature together and he has been a fantastic teacher. He is a role model of mine as well, and I’m lucky to have him as a step-dad too.”
