Annie Tempest was born the second of five children. Her father was the second son of the Tempests of Broughton Hall, and she was born in Zambia. When she was two, her family came back to England. In 1970, her father inherited the Broughton Hall estate in Yorkshire from his brother, and she draws on her memories of Broughton Hall in the Tottering By Gently comic strip. She has also said that Lord Tottering is modelled on her father Henry, and Lady Tottering is partly modelled on herself. The 3,000 acre Broughton Hall estate is now run by her brother Roger, who is the oldest son of her father.

Annie Tempest married the composer James McConnel in 1991; they had a son (Freddy) and a daughter (Daisy). They divorced in 2006. Both her children feature in the Tottering-by-Gently comic strip as grandchildren of Lord and Lady Tottering. Freddy died of a heroin overdose in 2011 at the age of 18, and Annie Tempest has said that she intends to retain him in the comic strip, but that he will remain 18.
