The line-up for tonight's edition of Question Time has been revealed- and the Bolton connection is noticeably light.

Despite broadcasting from the Bolton Whites Hotel at the University of Bolton stadium, none of the panel are from the town.

The panel includes Conservative Robert Jenrick, the SNP's Philippa Whitford, Labour's Richard Burgon and the Liberal Democrats' Chuka Umunna.

The Telegraph's Sherelle Jacobs is the non-politician that completes the show's line-up, which is set to be hosted by Fiona Bruce.

She will present Question Time from tonight at 10.45pm on BBC 1.

Earlier last month, the Bolton News reported that the Albert Halls would host the show, six months after a controversial decision was made to move a scheduled date in Bolton to London.

The day after the announcement, it was revealed that the weekly BBC One debate would no longer be held at the Victoria Square venue as the show is being filmed at the same time as the Christmas lights are being switched on.

Bolton Council said that hosting the two events simultaneously would be logistically “impossible”.
