About Fiona Bruce
A pioneering figure in British broadcasting, Fiona was the first woman to present the BBC Ten O’Clock News and the first female presenter to host a general election results programme. In 2019, she also became the first woman to host Question Time following the retirement of David Dimbleby. Her extensive experience leading live discussions and handling complex topics has made her one of the most trusted faces in British television.
Fiona joined the BBC in 1990, initially working on Panorama before moving into reporting and presenting roles across BBC Breakfast, Newsnight and BBC South East. She went on to become one of the BBC’s leading news presenters, fronting both the Six O’Clock News and the Ten O’Clock News, while also presenting flagship programmes including Crimewatch, Antiques Roadshow and the current affairs programme Real Story.
Alongside her news and current affairs work, Fiona has written and presented numerous documentaries covering subjects ranging from the Royal Family and British history to art and culture. She has interviewed many of the world’s most influential figures including Prince Philip, Bill Gates and Lord Alan Sugar, demonstrating a calm, insightful and engaging interview style that translates exceptionally well to corporate panels, fireside chats and leadership discussions.
An experienced live presenter and skilled facilitator, Fiona is equally at home chairing high-level business conversations, moderating political and economic discussions, hosting awards ceremonies or leading large-scale conferences. Her ability to guide conversations with authority while putting guests and audiences at ease has made her a popular choice for organisations seeking a polished and highly credible event host.
Fiona’s work has been recognised with numerous awards, including multiple Royal Television Society awards and repeated wins for Newscaster/Reporter of the Year at the Television and Radio Industry Awards. She was made a Freeman of the City of London in 2014 in recognition of her contribution to broadcasting and public life.
