OHMYGOSSIP — Fiona Bruce can’t wait for the return of the ‘Question Time’ audience.
The 57-year-old TV presenter admits there’s “no substitute” for staging the show in front of a live audience, and she can’t wait to greet them in the studio, after the relaxation of COVID-19 rules.
Fiona said: “When the live audience comes back I will kiss every single one of them, whether they like it or not.
“There is no substitute for having people actually there, seeing what they want to talk about and gauging their reactions when the politicians speak. Having a live audience makes the programme an event – it’s the bit I enjoy most.”
Fiona became the host of ‘Question Time’ in 2019, having previously been the first female newsreader on the ‘BBC News at Ten’.
However, she’s admitted to facing sexist attitudes earlier in her career.
She told October’s edition of Good Housekeeping magazine: “When I started my career, I got asked that time and time again. In the end, I was thoroughly sick of it because I never heard a man being asked that.
“It’s the same as only women being described as ‘feisty’. You want to do as well as you can in your job – that’s human nature.”
Fiona – who has Mia, 19, and Sam, 23, with husband Nigel Sharrocks – also confessed to struggling to find a healthy work-life balance during her career.
She said: “Did I spend enough time with my children?
“I think scratch the surface of any working woman and she will always think, ‘Probably not.’ I don’t think there’s such a thing as quality time with your children. I think it’s quantity.
“But there’s never been any question that they take precedence over everything in my life, and always have done.”
