The One Show's Alex Jones was left feeling embarrassed as she suffered an awkward blunder forcing her co-star to step in.
During Tuesday's (June 24) episode of the BBC One hit chat show, the Welsh TV presenter was joined by Roman Kemp as they interviewed a number of famous faces.

Joining the duo on the iconic green sofa was writer Lena Dunham as she spoke about her new Netflix rom‑com 'Too Much' alongside leading stars Megan Stalter and The White Lotus actor Will Sharpe.

Also on the show was Ian Wright, who was returning to his local club to start a girls team, joined by head coach Paul Palmer.

However it was one segment in the show that left Alex red-faced. Ahead of the Wimbledon coverage on Monday, the pair watched a pre-recorded clip of Chris Bavin at a strawberry farm as demand has been high for the fruit while watching the competition with almost 200 million strawberries set to be eaten during the event.

After watching the clip, the camera panned back to the studio and it appeared as though Alex wasn't quite ready to continue the show as she asked Roman: "Do you put sugar on your strawberries?"
Roman replied: "Umm." Alex jumped in: "I was thinking that watching and thought I bet you do."
Roman said: "You know I put sugar on everything. It's just the way it is." Distracted by the conversation, Alex turned to Roman for him to carry on with the show and said: "Right carry on."

Quickly realising that she made a mistake she looked to the camera and said: "Oh it's me." Everyone burst out laughing as Roman asked: "Do you want me to go?" to which Alex insisted: "Yeah go on."
This isn't the first blunder to happen this week as Alex was forced to step in after EastEnders star Michelle Collins made an awkward mistake on Monday.

During the Monday (June 24) episode the soap star appeared on the show to speak about her new venture as she prepares to leave the BBC hit soap for a brief break.

The 63-year-old is set to make her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut this summer. She will perform in the one woman dark comedy Motorhome Marilyn, which was written by Ben Weatherill.

American actor Sean Hayes, who was also on the show, was keen to know when she'll be taking to the stage as he asked: "So when does it start?" to which Michelle revealed: "Umm 29th of July?"
It appeared as though she got her dates wrong as Alex was forced to jump in and correct the star as she pulled a face to the camera and replied: "No. It's the 30th."
Everyone burst out laughing as Michelle replied: "The 30th, thank you Alex. Don't come on the 29th."

‘The terrible TV show that almost bankrupted my channel'

The reboot of The X-Files 'almost broke' Channel 5, the broadcaster's chief content officer has revealed. Ben Frow was speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival when he slated the revival series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as agents Mulder and Scully. Frow was asked to reveal his favourite TV shows of the last 50 years, naming the hugely influential sci-fi series which first aired from 1993 to 2002. It was revived in 2016, with additional episodes airing in 2018, and the first episode at the time drew in the biggest audience in Channel 5's history for a drama. Over 5million TV viewers tuned in live or caught up online the week after it was broadcast. It was the biggest show launch since Celebrity Big Brother hit Channel 5 screens in 2011. But Frow told the crowd at Edinburgh TV Festival The X-Files was a 'rubbish mega series'. 'We put a lot of money into that – it almost broke us.' The conversation was unusually honest, with Frow admitting the first six months of 2025 had been 'grim' for Channel 5. He also called two of its most highly-anticipated series, reboots of Challenge Anneka and Faking It, 'disasters'. 'I was stunned Faking it was such a disaster,' he said. 'It was so brilliantly made.' The noughties life-swapping show was rebooted this year. Every episode of Faking It saw a plucky volunteer dropped into a foreign world, with just four weeks to get to grips with a new skill and convince a panel of experts they're the genuine article. Frow explained: 'I think in the New World Order you don't have to watch a show to get what the show is so we kind of encourage people not to watch the programme, but I was very surprised. 'I also wonder if Faking It as a title since fake news came – you know, it was 20 years ago.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Challenge Anneka was another flop for Channel 5, but in hindsight Frow said he knew it was doomed before it even made it to air. More Trending Originally airing on BBC from 1989 to 1995, the show followed Anneka Rice being given a task without any prior knowledge, with a tight deadline to complete it. usually in aid for a charitable cause. But Challenge Anneka's second lease of life was quickly cut off and its final episode never even aired. It was ditched from Channel 5's weekend schedule after just two episodes. 'We realised about two weeks before we put it out, 'Hang on a minute. This is just a big makeover show.' We've had big home renovation shows since then and the world has changed so much that what Annika was doing was really ambitious 20, 30 years ago,' Frow said.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's isolated Welsh home

Prince William and Kate Middleton's isolated Welsh home Prince William and Kate Middleton have lived in some beautiful places over the years, including Wales They lived at the large farmhouse Bodorgan Hall (Image: Spread Pictures) There's been lots of chatter surrounding Prince William and Kate Middleton's living arrangements, as the royal couple announced their plans to move into their brand new forest lodge home later this year, which is an eight-bedroom home on the Windsor Castle estate with their three children. ‌ William and Kate have lived in their current home in Adelaide Cottage since 2022 after they moved from Kensington Palace. It's safe to say they have had some impressive homes over they years, including a period living in Wales for one chapter of their lives. ‌ The royal couple lived on the Isle of Anglesey, or Ynys Môn, from 2010 to 2013. ‌ This was while William was working as a search and rescue pilot with the RAF, whose base is conveniently located near Bodorgan, close to where the family lived. Love dreamy Welsh homes? Sign up to our newsletter here Before their engagement, William and Kate moved into a property on the Newborough estate, a rural part of Anglesey's western side. Nearby villages include Bodorgan, Newborough, and Malltraeth which are all nearby villages, the Express reported. Article continues below The house they stayed in was an old, white-stoned farmhouse, believed to be Prince George's first home, as Kate and William returned to Anglesey for a few weeks following his birth in London. Given that most of Anglesey is rural, with only with small villages and farms, Kate was able to carry out her daily activities without much fuss according to reports, while William was at work. She was spotted in Llangefni, purchasing dog food at the local pet shop, and in Menai Bridge, doing the weekly grocery shopping at the only Waitrose on Anglesey. ‌ Reflecting on his and Kate's time on Anglesey, Prince William shared: "This island has been our first home together, and it will always be an immensely special place for us both. Catherine and I look forward to returning again and again over the coming years with our family. "I know that I speak for Catherine when I say that I have never in my life known somewhere as beautiful and as welcoming as Anglesey."

She revealed: "I was chatting to some of the mums, I had just had George and William was still working with search and rescue, so we came up here when George was a tiny, tiny little baby, in the middle of Anglesey. "It was so isolated, so cut off, I didn't have my family around me, he was doing night shifts, so if only I'd had a centre like this at a certain time." ‌ The couple resided in Bodorgan Hall, a four-bedroom farmhouse boasting a Welsh slate roof sourced locally and numerous large windows, offering breathtaking views of the nearby sea and the Eryri mountains. The property offers the opportunity to stroll through Newborough Forest to Llanddwyn beach, and then along the sands to Llanddwyn Island, once home to Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of love. The estate is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Beauty and Environmentally Sensitive Area, largely due to its encompassing woodland and beach. It also boasts a circular dovecote, barn, expansive gardens, a lawn, and a deer park. ‌ The house was constructed between 1779 and 1782, with significant additions made in the mid-19th century. Kate and William paid a modest £750 per month in rent to Sir George Meyrick, the owner of the property and the estate on which it stands, the largest estate on Anglesey. The house comprised of two bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and four bedrooms.

Carole Middleton stayed with Kate and William to assist with the newborn, and according to reports at the time, the Queen's former housekeeper Antonella Fresolone travelled to the island to cook for them.

Rupert Everett and Hayley Atwell to star in Rivals series two

Based on Dame Jilly Cooper's novel of the same name, the series centres on a group of wealthy media types in the 1980s who are based in the Cotswolds. Atwell will be playing Helen Gordon, ex-wife of Alex Hassell's Rupert Campbell-Black, and mother of his two children – Marcus and Tabitha, while Everett will play her husband, Malise Gordon. Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins, chief creative officer at Happy Prince, told the Edinburgh TV Festival: 'We have some new guests. 'So some new cast, some of them are newly created characters, with Jilly's blessing, some famous characters. 'And most importantly, we're looking into Rupert more. So we have Rupert's children… but also with them… anyone who knows Jilly Cooper knows that Rupert's ex wife, Helen, loathes him, and she is married to his old show jumping boss, who's a bit older than her. 'So we are bringing Helen and Malise Gordon into this series, played by Rupert Everett and Haley Atwell, so they will be joining the cast. 'And for fans of the books, it's great to dig deeper into Rupert.' Everett, 66, is known for starring in a range of TV series and films including My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) and St Trinian's (2007), where he was seen playing headmistress Camilla Fritton. Atwell, 43, has starred in the Mission: Impossible films and is also known for playing Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The announcement comes after the BBC reported actress Kate Robbins would be joining the cast. Robbins is the mother of Emily Atack, who plays Sarah Stratton, the character who was seen playing naked tennis with Rupert in series one – a moment that was Bafta-nominated. Atack told the Edinburgh TV Festival that she 'wasn't afraid to identify with' Stratton, who has an affair with Rupert, and added: 'I completely am her. I'm a very flawed woman. I've made terrible decisions in my love life.' She added: 'The term, sort of typecast, is always sort of seen as this negative thing. 'I've been typecast my whole life, and I've loved every single minute of it, and I will carry on playing these sexy women for as long as they will have me.' Further ensemble cast have been announced as Sanditon's Maxim Ays, Mr Loverman star Holly Cattle, Slow Horses star Eliot Salt, and One Day's Jonny Weldon. Rivals series two will be comprised of 12 episodes, and Treadwell-Collins said it will be out 'soon'.
