Susanna Reid has fiercely criticised the backlash to Fiona Bruce’s comments on Question Time last week, which prompted her to step back as a Refuge charity ambassador.
On the BBC show last week, journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown stated Boris Johnson ’s father's alleged history of violence was ‘on record’ and he was a ‘wife beater’, prompting Bruce to cut in with qualifying statements.
The Good Morning Britain host raised Bruce’s treatment in comparison to that of Gary Lineker on Tuesday morning, saying: “It looks like full support for Gary Lineker, but friends of Fiona Bruce have said she has been hung out to dry over what was said on Question Time.”
