In 1999 Terrill was engaged for a brief period to former glamour model Heather Mills. He proposed to her on a fishing boat whilst sailing up the Mekong River in Cambodia, where they were making a film about landmines.

In 2009 Terrill married the BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Christine Hall.

On 9 February 2013 Terrill received a full apology in open court from News UK for repeatedly hacking his phone in 2005/06. They also paid undisclosed but substantial damages plus costs.

Terrill is a lifelong Humanist. Describing himself as an agnostic atheist and anti-theist he is an active member of Humanists UK for which he is a secular pastoral carer and school speaker. Despite his personal non religious philosophy he is keen to build bridges between secular and religious communities by stressing all that they have in common rather than what divides them.

A committed vegan, he is also an advocate and activist for animal rights.
