The latest episode of The One Show had a different look as viewers quickly noticed Alex Jones was missing from her usual spot on the green sofa. The Welsh presenter typically hosts the show alongside a rotating lineup of co-hosts, including Roman Kemp, Vernon Kay, and Clara Amfo. However, on Wednesday night (June 10), BBC fans saw Angellica Bell and JB Gill open the program and explain where the 49-year-old star was.
Where Was Alex Jones?
Angellica Bell said, "If you're wondering where Alex is tonight, she's at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition before it opens to the public next Tuesday." She added, "Last night, we revealed the successful artists, both amateur and professional, who were selected to have their work displayed in the world-famous gallery. Tonight, we've been invited to a special launch party to celebrate."
The camera then cut to a clip of Alex inside Burlington House, where the event was taking place. She walked through one of the rooms holding artwork and said, "It's one of my favourite nights of the year. Oh my goodness, there is so much to see here. Now, we've been following some of the artists all week who are hoping to get their work on the wall."
She continued, "Tonight, after 22 years of submitting, Vincent will finally see his on one of these walls, it's going to be quite an emotional moment, I think. Also, you should see the guest list! There are celebrities everywhere here, and I might just get one for a chat later, who knows." Later, Alex spoke with Vincent, who was overcome with emotion when he saw his artwork on the wall after two decades of trying to achieve his goal.
Other Show Updates
Elsewhere on the show, Nikki Fox informed viewers that they wouldn't see her on-screen for a while as Watchdog was taking a hiatus. She told viewers, "We're having a little break now. Going to have a little lie down and a bacon roll! But we are going to be back very soon with plenty more investigations from me, Matt, and our new team members! We've got Nick Stapleton, who you saw tonight, and Amanda Haque." Angellica told fans the Watchdog segment would return in September.
The One Show airs weeknights on BBC One at 7pm.
