What Has Happened to Sophie Raworth?

Sophie Raworth has ended her last Sunday Morning show, after stepping in for Andrew Marr when he left the BBC. She said she never expected to cover a war in Europe or the end of the Boris Johnson era.

Another Sunday morning political programme will return in September fronted by Laura Kuenssberg.

Raworth is a senior newsreader and one of BBC News’s main presenters.

Raworth joined the BBC’s early morning news programme Breakfast at its launch in 2000, which she presented alongside Jeremy Bown and in later years, Dermot Murnaghan, on Mondays-Thursdays, and sometimes with regular relief presenters such as Bill Turnbull and Michael Peschardt.

In 2018, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force, Raworth presented a documentary called RAF 100: Into the Blue, where she talked about her grandfather, Captain Edwin Raworth, who was a pilot in the First World War.
