Mishal Husain will step in for presenting duties instead
The BBC has been forced to change its presenter for the upcoming General Election debate due to a medical issue. Sophie Raworth had been due to moderate Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer going head-to-head in Nottingham on June 26.
“Mishal Husain is a fantastic presenter and will be brilliant at moderating what is a really important debate for both the two leaders and the BBC. I’m delighted she is doing it.” “I can’t see myself ever stepping into her running shoes but she can count on me for this, as the two prime ministerial candidates face each other for their last television encounter.”
