What happened to presenter Hannah Waddingham? There was no mention of her absence on the broadcast that I heard, although I didn’t listen to the whole thing, all rather whooped up as it was!
No idea, but she was only announced the other day as appearing:

I didn’t listen at all as there were greater attractions in Bucharest:

Here we are:
“Tonight’s Fantasy Film Music at the Proms will now be presented by Katie Derham and Ali Plumb. Due to the ongoing Screen Actors Guild strike, Hannah Waddingham has decided, sadly, she can no longer host due to the contents of the Prom.”
