The BBC presenter has confirmed another broadcaster will be stepping in at the weekend.
Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg is helmed by the political journalist. She has now revealed another presenter will briefly assume control.
On Sunday’s edition, Laura, 49, interviewed work and pensions secretary Pat McFadden, shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart and Plaid Cymru Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth.
The question, “Can Keir Starmer survive the Mandelson crisis?” was raised during a panel debate on last week’s broadcast (February 8) where the host revealed her colleague would be taking over the forthcoming show on Sunday during half-term week.
Concluding the programme, Laura remarked: “Thank you to all my guests. And most of all to you for spending your Sunday morning with us.”
“Victoria [Derbyshire] is here next week. But I’ll be here later with Paddy O’Connell for Sunday’s Newscast.”
Laura informed viewers: “I look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks a week on Sunday. Same time, same place.”
Victoria Derbyshire, who fronts BBC Newsnight, will present Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg this weekend (February 15) with the programme’s regular host returning the subsequent Sunday, reports the Express.
The change in presenter comes as the BBC has had a plethora of shake-ups this month.
BBC viewers have seen Morning Live change channels to air on BBC Two, allowing the Winter Olympics to have coverage.
Similarly, the fifth and six episodes of Gladiators will now air later than usual to cover the football.
In a release, the BBC stated: “On February 14, if the football finishes in 90 minutes, Gladiators will air at 20:00. On February 21, Gladiators will air at 19:15.”
Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg airs Sunday on BBC and BBC iPlayer at 9am.
