BBC viewers have called for Fiona Bruce to be sacked over her ‘biased’ reporting on Question Time.
There were calls for the TV presenter to be replaced following the latest episode of the show which took place in Horsham, West Sussex.
Fiona spoke with Conservative peer and chairman of Asda, Lord Stuart, on the topic of immigration.
In a clip which has since gone viral on social media, Lord Stuart expressed his views on whether the asylum system was in crisis.
Sharing his family were immigrants, he said: “My mother was an immigrant. I probably wouldn’t get into this country today. Let’s not knock it.”

But fans took to social media to claim Fiona didn’t look impressed with his answer with one saying: “The face on Fiona Bruce!”
Others questioned her impartiality during the segment and called for her to be replaced.
One social media wrote: “WHO THINKS FIONA BRUCE SHOULD BE REPLACED ON QUESTION TIME? HER BIAS IS EVERMORE APPARENT.”
“Fiona Bruce has to be sacked, she is not impartial is she,” said another.
A third commented: “I’m frankly tired of seeing Fiona Bruce trending every week and reading hundreds of universally negative accounts of her performance on #bbcqt. Nobody approves of her. They’re all sick of her perceived bias.”
“Fiona Bruce is a useless presenter. Biased and clueless,” a fourth chimed in.
While a fifth added: “Fiona Bruce’s face is NOT one of impartiality. I refuse to watch the programme as won’t be fed Conservative bias on a weekly basis by her. She should be replaced sooner rather than later.”
It’s not the first time Fiona has been faced a backlash over her alleged political impartiality.
Just last month there were calls for her and fellow political reporter Laura Kuenssberg to be investigated.
It came after BBC newsreader Maxine Croxall was understood to have been taken off air for a ‘gleeful’ comment she made about Boris Johnson taking himself out the running for Prime Minister.
"Am I allowed to be this gleeful? Well I am," she told viewers.
Her comments are said to have breached the BBC’s strict impartiality rules and the broadcaster has since launched an 'urgent' investigation.
But it sparked outrage among BBC viewers – with some calling for other presenters to be investigated over alleged political bias too.
“Also investigate Laura Kuenssberg and Fiona Bruce, or is Tory bias ok,” one viewer fumed.
Another said: “Fiona Bruce & Laura Kuenssberg should be investigated then. @BBCNews you can’t pick and choose depending which way the bias is. You long since abandoned balance This is truly pathetic.”
