JEREMY Vine has issued a warning to whoever takes over David Dimbleby’s Question Time role, saying they could get “universally savaged”.

Dimbleby, 79, is leaving Question Time after 25 years.

Kirsty Wark, Emily Maitlis, Victoria Derbyshire, Nick Robinson, Jeremy Paxman, John Humphrys and Huw Edwards are among the names who have been tipped as possible successors. Vine said: “The next person to do Question Time might like to remember that alternate presenters get universally savaged.”
