Fiona Bruce has been confirmed as the new presenter of the BBC’s Question Time, becoming the programme’s first female host. She said: “For many years Question Time has been presented by one of my television heroes, so I am thrilled and not a little daunted to be stepping into his shoes. The Today presenter Nick Robinson, the Front Row host Samira Ahmed and the daytime presenter Victoria Derbyshire were among those who took part in the filming. Bruce becomes only the fourth host of the show since it was first broadcast in 1979. In recent years it has become a focus for viewers who wish to complain about the BBC’s political coverage.
