Sue Barker takes a swipe at BBC bosses for Question Of Sport sacking and reveals she's BANNED from mentioning the show on reunion tour


On Sunday at the Hammersmith Eventim, Sue told the audience that neither she or her co-stars were allowed to mention the programme, which was axed in 2023 after 53 years on the airwaves.

When BBC bosses sacked the much loved Sue Barker from Question of Sport and replaced her with a much younger male presenter, the show's millions of fans were furious. But Ms Barker revealed just how vindictive the BBC has been by banning her from using any reference - or even mentioning Question of Sport during the Sue, Matt & Phil Live! Fans were dismayed by the replacement of its traditional sporting guests with celebrity participants such as Jamie Laing and Anton Du Beke and the introduction of light-hearted, non-sporting challenges.
