Fiona Bruce reveals she has NEVER had Botox… but admits that in the era of high-definition TV, presenters who have not gone under the knife can look ‘pretty rough’ on screen
- Fiona Bruce wants people to see what a 55-year-old looks like without Botox
- Presenters Andrea McClean, 50, and Anthea Turner, 59, admit to using Botox
- Fiona Bruce avoids watching herself back in HD instead of getting the procedure
She has never resorted to a cosmetic procedure but admits that TV presenters who do use Botox make those who don’t look ‘pretty rough’.
However Fiona Bruce said she is keen to show people what a real 55-year-old looks like when she fronts news bulletins and hosts Question Time and Antiques Roadshow on the BBC.
‘I haven’t done Botox,’ she added. ‘Although there are a few women on screen who do, and if you don’t do it, which I don’t, you look pretty rough by comparison.

‘And now there is high definition. And ultra high definition – just don’t watch yourself back, that’s the way to do it.’
Presenters such as Loose Women’s Andrea McClean, 50, and ex-GMTV host Anthea Turner, 59, have admitted to using Botox.
Miss Bruce also told Radio Times how, despite 31 years in the industry, she still feels grateful for her career.

‘There is a thing about women, in particular, being endlessly grateful for the opportunities in life, rather than saying, ‘I’m here because I’m good’,’ she said.
‘I never thought the BBC or any TV organisation would want me to work up until now. At some point, the BBC will decide it doesn’t want me to carry on [reading the news].’
Miss Bruce, who has two children with husband Nigel Sharrocks, said she has ‘always been sanguine’ about this prospect. However, she added: ‘There’s nothing I can do to change that. I just enjoy it while it lasts.’
