Roman Kemp's Playful Jab at Will Mellor's Show Sparks Awkward Moment on The One Show
During Monday evening's episode of The One Show, presenter Roman Kemp couldn't resist aiming a playful dig at guest Will Mellor, creating an awkward yet humorous atmosphere. The BBC programme featured a lineup including Prue Leith, Hannah Fry, and co-host Alex Jones, but it was the exchange with former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Will that stole the spotlight.
Awkward Banter Over Will and Ralf's Series
After a montage from Will Mellor's show, Will and Ralf Should Know Better, was aired, showcasing hilarious moments from the series, Roman Kemp seized the opportunity for a cheeky remark. The clip featured a voiceover stating, "We may look like middle-aged blokes, but really we're just a pair of massive, noisy, kids. So, what will it take for us to grow up, embrace modern life and become better, maturer men?"
Roman responded with a light-hearted jab, saying, "I mean, being realistic, this is not work, right? You're hanging out with your best mate." He then followed up by asking why Will felt compelled to undertake such adventures now, prompting a candid revelation from the guest.
Will Mellor's Personal Motivation Behind the Show
Will Mellor explained that as he approaches his 50th birthday this year, he wanted to create a programme focused on building lasting memories. He shared, "We don't know how long we've got left time-wise, but we can make the most of the time we've got, and I thought, if I can do that as a job in my career - I used to watch all these programmes like Top Gear, I loved the adventures."
He emphasised his desire to make the show organically real, putting himself and best friend Ralf Little in unfamiliar situations to test their reactions. The series, available to stream on U since its launch in 2024, has seen the duo tackle challenges such as freezing water swims, artistic workshops, Wild West roleplay, and paranormal investigations.
Highlights and Terrifying Moments from the Series
Discussing a particularly nerve-wracking segment involving stand-up comedy, Will admitted it was terrifying, comparing it to his experience on Strictly Come Dancing. He said, "Terrifying! It reminded me of when I did Strictly and they do, 'Dancing the Jive' they do that bit. It's literally a vocal laxative when they say that!"
The episode concluded with reminders that The One Show is available on BBC iPlayer, and Will and Ralf Should Know Better can be streamed on U, offering viewers a blend of entertainment and heartfelt storytelling.
