The One Show cancelled tomorrow night in huge schedule shake up
THE ONE Show has been cancelled ahead of tomorrow night’s episode in a huge schedule shake up.
With Wimbledon and First Night of the Proms dominating the line-up on BBC One and Two, there isn’t any room for the magazine programme, which usually airs at 7pm.
At the end of Thursday’s episode, presenter Alex Jones, 46, made the surprise announcement but didn’t give a reason why – which is sure to have left fans confused.
It’s not the first time this week wires have been crossed on the show.
Viewers had been expecting to see Morgan Freeman as a guest earlier this week, but was forced to pull out at the last minute.
Actor Morgan, 86, had been advertised as a guest alongside Nicole Kidman, 56, and Zoe Saldana, 45, on the BBC programme, but was nowhere to be seen.
After the Hollywood stars promoted their new spy thriller – Special Ops: Lioness – host Alex Jones, 46, was forced to address the elephant in the room.
She said, “Honestly, we’ve seen a bit of it, it is brilliant. Morgan Freeman, also in it. He was gonna come tonight so we’re gutted he couldn’t make it last minute.”
Despite his no-show, Nicole and Zoe ploughed ahead with the plug for their latest project, which centres around the CIA’s Lioness Program.
The Sun contacted Morgan’s representative and the BBC for comment at the time – and later revealed he had been struck down by an illness.
