The One Show viewers say the same thing over Hollywood star's appearance

Daily Mirror3 days ago
The One Show viewers were left distracted on Tuesday evening by actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was on the BBC programme to speak about the second series of Netflix's smash hit Wednesday.
The One Show fans were all making identical observations during Tuesday's edition of the BBC programme.

Alex Jones and JB Gill presented the show and invited guests Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Diane Morgan and Alex Scott onto the famous green sofa.

Despite Catherine and Luis appearing to discuss the second series of Netflix's hit programme Wednesday, viewers found themselves somewhat distracted by the actress's looks.

Heading to X, one viewer remarked: "I read people talking about CZJ, but didn't realise she was on the screen until she spoke."
Another posted: "Catherine zeta jones looks unreal." A third penned: "Catherine Zeta Jones is morphing into Morticia Addams."

During her appearance on the programme, the 55-year-old discussed her part in Wednesday ahead of the upcoming series, which is scheduled for release on August 6.
Whilst fans will witness many of the original cast members returning to the fictional universe of the Addams Family, there are expected to be some fresh faces, including Joanna Lumley.
Joanna will portray Grandmama Hester Frump, Morticia Addams' mother. However, Catherine admitted she was initially nervous about collaborating with her, reports Wales Online.

She revealed to Alex Jones: "You have no idea! On an international Dame Joanna is admired, revered. But for me, being a Brit being a Welsh girl like you Alex,for me it was like, my Queen.
"I'd never met her, I'd never worked with her, and there was a time where I thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't'. Because I'd be devastated if she's not the kind of woman or artist you know, sharing as an actor. She was everything and more."

Gushing about Joanna's performance on Wednesday, Catherine told the two BBC presenters she's 'so mean' in the series.
She continued: "So, now we have my character Morticia, and we have this fantastic relationship between Wednesday and the matriarch.
"Now comes Joanna's character, Grandma Frump, and we have that dynamic. We have this triangle of three generations of kooky, crazy, wonderful women, and it was a treat."
Wednesday, season 2 will premiere on Netflix in two parts: on August 6 and September 3.

Rebecca Loos' life became 'hell' as David Beckham's 'blossomed' after 'affair'

Rebecca Loos has hit out after her world was turned upside down following the scandal she faced involving David Beckham – but his life 'blossomed' in the wake of it Rebecca Loos has hit out, claiming it was"unjust" how she suffered the consequences following her "affair" with David Beckham. The former glamour model who worked as David's personal assistant in the early 2000s sensationally claimed she and the Manchester United legend had an affair with one another. ‌ At the time, Beckham, 50, branded the allegations as "ludicrous" but never sought legal assistance to challenge the claims or any interviews that Loos gave. Following the allegations, Rebecca, 48, went on to find fame as a reality star, appearing on The Farm, Celebrity Love Island, and X Factor, before eventually turning her back on fame and finding peace as a yoga teacher in Norway. ‌ Now, she has spoken about how her life completely changed after the allegations were made public and the levels of scrutiny she faced, while David went on to become a global icon. She was branded the "sleazy senorita" and faced claims that she attempted to ruin David's marriage with Spice Girls legend, Victoria Beckham. It comes after Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response. ‌ Rebecca is set to appear on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which sees her in a completely different light, stripped back from everything she knows. It comes after the Beckham's launched a huge Netflix documentary about their lives away from the cameras. "That took me completely by surprise," she said of the Beckham documentary, adding: "Let's call it what it was: him trying to portray an image of perfection that was nothing like reality. ‌ "It felt unjust that my life was pretty hell, and his life kept going and kept blossoming. I've been accused of being a liar. I've had a lifetime of opinions around me, and I've definitely developed thick skin. "I think the public opinion now has softened, at least from what I'm gathering since the documentary came out with the Beckhams a couple of years ago. I think it is now because thanks to social media, there is a whole different following out there, which is a double-edged sword." But while she feels it's unjust, she admits some of the blame lies with her. ‌ In a press pack, Rebecca said: "I think I've definitely taken most of the blame – rightly so. It was part of my life. He was older than me, he was my boss. But I'm not someone to be silenced when I've been wronged, and that documentary took absolutely no responsibility. "When he said, 'It was so horrible to see my wife suffer,' I thought, 'Mate, think twice about the things you do.'" Like all the recruits, Rebecca faced a grilling in the show's Mirror Room. Jason Fox and Chris Oliver questioned her motives for being on the show before asking how she felt about her affair with Beckham now that she's had the time to reflect on it. In his Netflix 2023 documentary, Beckham didn't name Rebecca and failed to take any accountability. He just said: "I don't know how we got through it in all honesty," on a tricky time when he lived in Madrid. ‌ On being asked about Beckham on the Channel 4 show and what she feels about how things have played out, she added: "I was quite guarded at the beginning. I was trying to be guarded because it's not something I want to talk about the whole time. But at the same time I also wanted to be honest with them, so they were really good at getting through to me. "They're obviously professionals at this. I don't shy away from what I've been through, and I don't shy away from the decisions that I've made. They have shaped me into who I am, and I've really learnt a lot from the mistakes that I've made in my life and the things that I've done. And I really do think that being truthful is the only way to go in life. I'll stand by that forever. "It takes a lot of courage to tell the truth and to own up to mistakes that you have made, mistakes and times in your life you're not proud of. And it's very easy to just brush them under the carpet and move on. That's like the coward's way, I think, of living."

Mathew Horne fights back tears over sudden death of Gavin and Stacey colleague

Mathew Horne fought back tears while telling crowds he'd just been told a crew member from Gavin and Stacey had died. The actor, 46, starred as Gavin Shipman in the BBC comedy alongside Joanna Page, James Corden, and Ruth Jones since it began in 2007 until its final episode on Christmas Day 2024. He was being interviewed on stage for an In Conversation With session in Taunton, Somerset, when he suddenly became emotional and told the audience he'd only just received the news when it had been shared on the cast WhatsApp group. Horne said, via The Sun: 'Sorry. I got distracted. Earlier on… we had a driver on the finale called Rob and he was in his early 40s… and I found out via the Whatsapp group earlier that he has passed away and I got slightly distracted there. 'It's really, really sad. I got distracted by losing Rob. 'He was a really lovely guy and he's left a four-year-old behind and that is really, really, really sad.' Horne also shared how close the cast had become since bonding 'like a family' over the last 18 years. For the main actors, their lives changed beyond recognition and the show became one of the most popular British comedies of all time. He explained: 'In 2019, before the Christmas special – part one of the finale if you like – aired, I lost my mother and Alison really stepped up and she became my surrogate mother off screen as well. 'Whenever she texts me even now she signs it 'Mum'. And that is cool. That is so beautiful. And she says, 'How are you, my little prince?' It means the world to me.' Gavin and Stacey ended on Christmas Day, 2024, with a feature-length episode that attracted a staggering 19.1million viewers. Fans waited five years to find out if Smithy accepted Nessa's proposal to quickly discover he was getting married – but not to her. Instead, the episode followed Smithy gearing up to marry Sonia – his insufferable girlfriend who his friends and family couldn't stand. Thankfully, fans got their happy ending, Smithy jilted Sonia at the aisle and raced across the country to find Nessa and get down on one knee. There has, however, been talk of potential spin-offs with other characters such as Dawn and Pete, played by Julia Davis and Adrian Scarborough respectively, keeping the spirit of Gavin and Stacey alive.

Carer slept in his motor to make it as a wrestler and ended up Netflix poster boy

' I took to it like a duck to water. Wrestling comes naturally to Scots – we're battle-ready by primary school' CAR-NO-JOKEY Carer slept in his motor to make it as a wrestler and ended up Netflix poster boy Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOT who quit his carer job to live in his car with his dog while pursuing his wrestling dream, ended up the poster boy for a major Netflix documentary in America. Luke Scoular, from Bellshill, Lanarkshire, left his career and home behind when he signed up for an intensive academy in London run by WWE legend Al Snow. 5 The Scot and his dog Odin slept together in a tiny Ford Fiesta as he tried to make it as a wrestler. 5 Luke with his champions belt and holding a lion's head. 5 Luke working out and as the face of Netflix Wrestlers series. 5 Drew McIntyre made it to the top of WWE but Luke Scoular is with Ohio Valley Wrestling - which launched John Cena along with Batista to global stardom. But having blown all his life savings on the course he had nowhere to live, so the 6ft 1in, 17 stone musclebound wrestling wannabe slept in his tiny Ford Fiesta with his husky Odin. Luke, 34, says: 'I'm a big guy and Odin was a big dug, weighing 47kg, so yes it was cramped. 'But I slept in the motor because I couldn't get a hotel that would take Odin and they were all a fortune anyway. 'So starting from that and ending up on a Netflix poster was surreal to say the least.' Luke was raised with his three brothers by mum and dad Lisa and Derek, starting work as a lifeguard in Wishaw Sports Centre, then as a personal trainer, before becoming a support worker for young adults in residential units. But he was inspired to walk away from it all after watching a video featuring wrestling superstar John Cena, 48, who has since become a Hollywood actor. However Cena also holds the Guinness World Record for granting more wishes - over 650 - than anyone else for the US charity the Make-A-Wish Foundation for kids with critical illnesses. Luke explains: 'A lot of wrestlers take part in Make-A-Wish and visit kids in hospital but John Cena is the most famous one for doing it. 'One night when I was home doing nothing I came across this video on YouTube with all these testimonials from kids he'd helped. It was tug at the heart strings stuff and brought a tear to my eye. 'I will never forget the date as it was November 3, 2017 and I had been toying with the idea of joining Al Snow's wrestling academy. 'But after watching John Cena and all the good he had done as a wrestler, I looked at the dug, he looked back at me as if to say 'Just do it'. 'So I did it and, bang, I chucked my job and drove down to London that night to start the six month course the next morning.' Luke bypassed the vibrant wrestling scene in Scotland, that has produced WWE champ Drew McIntyre and cult favourite Grado, as he believed moving south would allow him to concentrate on his training. He says: 'I needed a clean break with no distractions.' Al Snow and his team soon allowed Luke and Odin to stay in their gym where he worked as an informal janitor. He says: 'They saw I was sleeping in the motor so invited us to stay in the building. 'So I offered to keep the place clean and make sure it was ready for the guys to start training when they came in every morning. 'It was great as all I got to do was hammer it, practising for six or seven hours a day.' He adds: 'But I took to it like a duck to water. Wrestling comes naturally to Scots – we're battle-ready by primary school.' Luke worked on his ring persona as Crixus, named after the real-life Gallic Gladiator, and impressed Snow so much he was invited to move to the States to join Ohio Valley Wrestling - ironically the same place that launched John Cena along with Batista to global stardom. And it was there where the Netflix cameras turned up to follow the wannabes from across the world for the 2023 series Wrestlers. He says: 'When the film crew first came in to meet us, they found out I was Scottish and were like 'Wow'. 'They loved my story of how I'd quit everything to be a wrestler and spent about three months following me around. 'Then when it was finally shown things went crazy. I was getting flooded with messages from across the world and a few from back home too saying 'So that's where you f***ed off to'.' Luke, 34, is following in the footsteps of fellow Scot Drew McIntyre, 40, who also trained with Ohio Valley Wrestling on his way to becoming our country's first WWE champ in 2020, while Edinburgh's Joe Hendry made his WrestleMania debut this year. It led to Al, 61, who has shared a ring with the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, to declare that the Scots are 'having a moment'. But Luke admits: 'When Drew became WWE champ it p***ed me off at the time, as I wanted to be the top Scot. 'But I am secretly delighted for him and it only helps me because we have similar styles, so I play off of that sometimes and I've also called him out once or twice (challenged him), but nothing has come of that, so far.' However one part of the job that Luke truly loves is seeing the eyes of sick kids light up when he and his fellow wrestlers pay them a visit. He says: 'We do a lot of outreach stuff and have visited a children's cancer unit in Cincinnati and we've done a few things with Ronald McDonald House too. 'This was a big part of why I wanted to become a wrestler in the first place after watching that John Cena video all those years ago and seeing the sheer delight you can bring. 'I may get booed in the ring but I'm really just a big softy at heart.' Luke is now based in Louisville, Kentucky, where he recently got married to an American woman Rosey, who works for a supplement company who sponsors the Scot. And he's also swapped sleeping in his car for a hammock on his front porch. But sadly, his companion Odin passed away last year aged 24. Luke says: 'Weirdly I actually look back on those times with fond memories even though we were sleeping in a tiny Ford Fiesta. 'Odin came with me when I threw myself into a new unknown world of wrestling. I was able to stick it out because I wasn't alone as I had him.' He adds: 'So yes, it really is amazing to now be a professional wrestler and living the dream, but I couldn't have done it without him.'
