The One Show viewers blast BBC for ‘pathetic and revolting’ magic demo – fuming ‘worst TV ever!’
VIEWERS of the The One Show were left fuming after magicians Penn and Teller performed a ‘revolting’ magic trick on the show.
The duo have been household names since the 1980’s and while they have received rave reviews over the years, it seems their performance on the BBC show did not sit well with viewers.
During the segment filmed backstage, both magicians invited hosts Angelica Bell and Roman Kemp to watch a magic trick while they tucked into burgers.
However, while viewers and the hosts were waiting to see the trick unfold, the pair continued to simply eat their food in a messy fashion – to the point where the remnants of their meal was all over their mouth and hands.
And their chewing was audible over the microphone leaving fans disgusted.
And viewers were fuming. One took to Twitter to complain saying: “Worst TV EVER! The magic trick spectacularly FAILED and it was gross hearing them eat. Come on #TheOneShow you’re better than this!”
Meanwhile another viewer said: “This is awful viewing. Absolutely pathetic.”
And a third said: “That was absolutely revolting. Why did no one have a napkin?”
But the show is no stranger to boarderline moments but instead of it coming from guests, it was said by the show host Alex Jones, 46 – to the point where co-host Jermaine Jenas was left squirming.
When asked about her irritations, Alex said: “So many, I hate time wasting.
She added: “It’s not me, though I’ve got a list and he’ll be watching. My husband does a lot of stuff. Mainly, Charlie, watching rugby videos in the loo or fishing videos.”
