She was born Patricia Ann Geaney in Edgware, Middlesex and was the eldest of four children to two Irish parents.
A year later, Capital's in-house newsroom was closed down and she moved to LBC where she presented phone-in programmes and The Sunday Interview.
After helping to set up the now-defunct commercial radio station for Portsmouth, Radio Victory, Ingrams returned to London and became a long-serving presenter of Thames News, often found presenting alongside former ITN anchorman Andrew Gardner.
[2] Ingrams left Thames when the station lost its franchise in December 1992 and worked at Anglia Television and British Sky Broadcasting for short periods before joining London News Radio (a short-lived replacement for LBC) as a presenter in 1994.
She was married in 1972 to Paul Ingrams, who met Tricia whilst they were both working at the United Biscuits Network.
