David Dimbleby injured by bullock

David Dimbleby will be replaced by John Humphrys as the host of this evening's Question Time after he was injured in an incident with a bullock.

The presenter was loading the animal onto a trailer when it reared, knocking him out and leaving him with a cut that required stitches.

Dimbleby was admitted to hospital yesterday and had to stay overnight for observation, but will return to the news panel programme next week.

He said: "I haven't missed a Question Time in over 15 years. Trust my wife's bullock to take me out. I'll be giving bullocks a wide berth in future."

Question Time airs tonight at 10.45pm on BBC One.
