Fiona is ready for QT attacks

FIONA Bruce is braced for a backlash after replacing David Dimbleby on the BBC’s Question Time.

The presenter, 54, is still nervous viewers will turn on her despite getting a good reaction for her first two shows.

She said: “I’ve not been doing the show for long, so I want to be very cautious about where we go from here.

“I’m a great believer in thinking you are only as good as your last thing. So I wouldn’t get too carried away.

“You can only do it in your own way and that’s what I’ll continue to do. And people will hopefully like it. That’s up to others to judge.”

Fiona avoided comments social media.

She added: “I don’t look at those things. I do look at Trump’s Twitter for work. But has reading on I’m not endlessly searching for myself. What kind of way is that to live? I wouldn’t do that, not at all.”

David, 80, hosted Question Time for 25 years. Fiona said: “Obviously Dimbleby is one of my heroes.

“I spoke to David before I did it. He said ‘good luck… do it in your own way’.” Fiona has taken over during one of the most turbulent times in British politics.

She said: “It’s an extraordinary week. It’s not at all clear as to how it will go but it makes it incredibly interesting to be in my line of work at the moment.”
