But before she began the debate, Fiona Bruce explained to those at home watching about her mystery injuries.
The journalist appeared on screen with a black eye and her arm in a sling.
She told BBC viewers that she had a nasty accident while horse riding.
Fiona said: “I thought I’d just mention it. It’s the least interesting thing in the programme but in case you’re wondering. I broke my hand and I’ve got the remnants of a black eye because I fell off a horse. And that’s all I have to say about that.”
A few viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter in shock.
One wrote: “Fiona Bruce says she has a broken hand and black eye because she ‘fell off a horse’.”
A second added: “That looks like a horrible accident.”
A third penned: “Fiona fell of a horse! But thankfully she seems ok.”
Fiona previously spoke out about her experience with horse riding, revealing she started learning in 2011.
She told the Daily Mail: “I started horse riding very late in life. I will always be pretty rubbish, but I love it.”
Fiona continued: “It takes me to a different place. I can’t think about anything else when I’m doing it. I love being around horses. I love the speed. I love being outdoors.”
