In June 2018, Gration performed the wedding ceremony between Keeley Donovan and Johnny I'Anson in Knaresborough; Donovan is a Look North weather presenter and reporter and I'Anson also broadcasts for the BBC.

Gration is married to Helen, his third wife, with whom he has three children. He has three children from two previous marriages. His first wife was a school teacher Hilary Gardner, with whom he had a daughter named Hannah, they separated and divorced in the early 1980's before he became a regular TV presenter.

Whilst still teaching, Gration became a sports commentator on rugby league games which led to a three-month contract with the BBC. He then ended up resigning from his teaching post and went into broadcasting full-time when he joined BBC Radio Leeds in 1978.
