Dan Walker's Autocue Hijack on The One Show Sparks Chaos

During Wednesday's episode of The One Show, a light-hearted moment turned chaotic as guest Dan Walker attempted to commandeer the autocue. Hosts Vernon Kay and Alex Jones were joined by Dan and Helen Skelton to discuss their new series, Yorkshire Great and Small, alongside Strictly judge Anton Du Beke.

As Anton spoke, Dan interrupted, declaring, "Talking of cagoules," while raising his eyebrows. Helen responded approvingly, but Vernon quickly intervened: "Daniel, just hold your horses my friend! We're gonna get there... Wow." Alex added, "We're not there yet!"

Undeterred, Dan proclaimed, "Who cares about Saturday nights, it's about Thursday nights!" prompting Vernon to repeatedly tell him to "hang on." Anton then told Dan to "stop reading the autocue, it's not for you." Dan retorted, "You talk for too long," as the studio descended into playful disorder.

Helen quipped about joining the hosts' sofa before the segment resumed. The programme, which also features Anton promoting Strictly's return, continued as normal after the brief disruption.

Yorkshire Great and Small premieres on Channel 5 on Thursday, with Dan and Helen exploring the North York Moors and its landmarks.
