While a third wrote: “Fiona Bruce wearing trainers on Question Time!? I’m genuinely outraged!”

A fourth user jokingly posted: “Great to see Fiona Bruce wearing trainers…… were you late leaving the gym.”

In 2016, viewers started to notice Ms Bruce’s shoe choice when she presented the BBC 10 O’Clock News.

Some of her colleagues were quick to support the journalist’s comfy choice of footwear.

TV presenter Steph McGovern tweeted at the time: “Fiona Bruce is wearing trainers in the studio on the Ten O’Clock news!

“Right, that’s the green light for my Converse on Monday.”

Despite viewers’ outrage at Ms Bruce’s footwear, the Question Time host had a genuine reason for wearing the casual shoes.

In 2016, Ms Bruce was reportedly recovering from breaking her foot in a trampoline accident.
