The latest buzz among BBC viewers is all about Victoria Derbyshire. With Laura Kuenssberg on a summer break, the Newsnight and Panorama presenter, who is 55 years old, has been filling in on her own show, and fans are loving it. In fact, many are calling for Victoria to take over permanently.
Victoria will be hosting the flagship political programme until September 8, and her first week has already received heaps of praise from viewers. The panel this week included guests such as Conservative MP Alicia Kearns, actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry, and John Lewis chair Sharon White. Environment Secretary Steve Reed, Head of Palestinian Mission to the UK Husam Zomlot, and Slave Play actors Olivia Washington and Kit Harington also made appearances.
As soon as the show began, viewers took to social media to show their support for Victoria. User Minerva wrote on X, "Victoria Derbyshire is an incredible journalist. She deserves to have this show permanently." It seems like Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg viewers have found their new favorite host in Victoria, who is doing an excellent job in her role.
One viewer, Jon, shared, "Great to see Victoria Derbyshire hosting the BBC Sunday morning program instead of the overly biased Kuenssberg. She has a much better interview style too. I wish this was a permanent substitution!" Another user, Brian, added, "Please BBC, replace #bbclaurak with Victoria. She's like a breath of fresh air."
Many viewers have praised Victoria for her hard-hitting interviews and holding politicians accountable. User Jamie added, "Victoria is a knowledgeable and probing interviewer. I wish she had the job permanently." It's clear that Victoria has won over the hearts of viewers with her impressive hosting skills.
Meanwhile, Laura Kuenssberg has recently faced criticism from viewers. After working as the political editor of BBC News, she went on to replace Andrew Marr as the host of the BBC's weekend political interview programme, which was renamed Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg in September 2022. On the other hand, Victoria previously hosted her own current affairs programme from 2015 to 2020 and has since presented BBC News at 9am-11am on BBC Two, BBC News Channel, and BBC World News.
When Victoria filled in for Laura last year, she also received a lot of praise from viewers, with many suggesting she could be a permanent replacement for the host. It's no surprise that fans are once again rooting for Victoria to take over the show permanently.
Don't forget to tune in to Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg every week at 9am on BBC Two, especially during the Olympics.
