BBC presenter to stand in for Laura Kuenssberg this Sunday

BBC presenter Laura Kuenssberg is to be replaced by Victoria Derbyshire for this Sunday’s programme.

The flagship political programme, which will be broadcast at 9am on BBC Two this week due to the Olympics, is normally hosted by Kuenssberg.

However, speaking at the end of last week’s show, she said: “Victoria (Derbyshire) will be here next week so that is nearly it from me for the summer.”

She added: “I will see you again here on September 8, same time, same place.”

Derbyshire, who is known for her work on Newsnight, previously stood in for Kuenssberg towards the end of last year.

Who is on this week’s show?

According to the BBC’s official schedule, Derbyshire will be joined by Environment Secretary and Labour MP Steve Reed.

Reed was first elected to Parliament in 2012 in the Croydon North by-election and has remained in Westminster since.

He was however elected to the newly created constituency of Streatham and Croydon North at the General Election earlier this month.

Derbyshire will also be joined by Kit Harington (above), best known for his role as Jon Snow in the hit show Game of Thrones, as well as Olivia Washington to discuss their role in a new production of Slave Play.

How can I watch the show?

The show will be broadcast at 9am on Sunday morning on BBC Two and will also be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
