Hannah Waddingham has announced that she has decided to step down from her role hosting one of the nights of the BBC Proms, which is due to take place tonight.
The Ted Lasso star had been due to oversee the proceedings at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall venue for an event titled the ‘Fantasy, Myths and Legends Prom.’
However, she explained in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram that she had pulled out from the position as a show of solidarity for those taking part in the SAG-AFTRA strike in Hollywood.
‘Hey guys, I very sadly won’t be able to host tonight’s @bbcproms “Fantasy, Myths and Legends”,’ she wrote.
‘It will be an magical night, but due to my ongoing support for the @sagaftra strike I must respectfully step down. I look forward to being back at @RoyalAlbertHall PDQ! Xx H.’
