Laura Kuenssberg, the presenter of the BBCs flagship political interview program Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, was absent from her show on October 8, 2023, and was replaced by Victoria Derbyshire. Kuenssberg did not tweet to let people know why she was absent, and no apology was given, so it is unclear where she was during her show. However, it was later revealed that the reason for her absence was because her father, Nick Kuenssberg, one of Scotlands best-known business figures, had recently passed away. It is not clear when she will be back on the show, but Victoria Derbyshire is expected to fill in for her again next week.
