BBC Question Time host Fiona Bruce has announced she will be stepping back from her role as an ambassador for the UK's leading charity on domestic violence Refuge.
It comes following claims the BBC journalist trivialised domestic violence during a discussion about former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's dad Stanley on last Thursday’s episode of the BBC political debate show.
According to reports in The Mirror, Fiona, 58, had faced calls to be removed from her position as an ambassador for the domestic abuse charity, after she appeared to play down Stanley Johnson's history of violence against his then-wife Charlotte, who died in 2021.
