In 1994, Wheen was one of thirty-five members of the UK arts scene who signed a letter calling for the resignation of art critic Brian Sewell.[6] Sewell responded by placing on the cover of his book The Reviews That Caused The Rumpus: And Other Pieces a version of the painting The Nightmare, in which he himself was shown sitting naked on a sleeping woman.[9] He stated that he hoped "everyone will interpret the woman who has fainted clean away as Natalie Wheen."[9]
Wheen was nominated for a Sony Award in 2000[10] and 2004.[11] She was placed third in a poll of "most attractive radio voices" by readers of the Radio Times magazine in 2002.[12][7]
Wheen now co-owns an olive oil business along with artist Deborah MacMillan, widow of choreographer Kenneth MacMillan.[13]
