Fiona Bruce admitted that the audience can be 'brutal'.

BBC stalwart Fiona Bruce has confessed that hosting Question Time feels like 'walking a tightrope' as she's always in the dark about what anyone will say next.

Discussing the variety of news stories, she said: "You're walking a tightrope on Question Time, more than any programme I do, because I have no idea what anyone's going to say, particularly when it comes to the audience. I have to respond to that in the right manner and if I get it wrong, social media does not hesitate to let me know about it."

She reflected: "It's a very big close-up. You need to tread a line between not getting in the way of the story and not being a robot."
