Sophie Raworth to replace Andrew Marr on interim basis

Sophie Raworth will present BBC One’s flagship Sunday morning show on an interim basis from January.

The programme, currently named The Andrew Marr Show, will temporarily be titled ‘Sunday Morning’.

Sophie will start her stint on 9 January. She will present the programme for a short period, during which time the BBC will carry out the recruitment process for a permanent presenter.

The programme will then relaunch with a new presenter, title and a new on air look.

Andrew Marr recently announced he would be leaving the BBC after a 21 year career with the broadcaster, for 16 of which he presented The Andrew Marr Show. His last show will be on Sunday 19th December 2021.
