Those watching at home were in awe of Catherine's appearance.
One said on X, formerly known as Twitter: 'Catherine Zeta Jones looks unreal.'
'Catherine Zeta Jones is morphing into Morticia Addams.'
'I read people talking about CZJ, but didn't realise she was on the screen until she spoke. #TheOneShow.'
'F**k me I swear she never ages!'
Wednesday fans don't have long to wait until the show returns to the streaming service as it's back on August 6.
Jenna Ortego will be reprising her role as protagonist Wednesday Adams, and she will be joined by Victor Dorobantu as Thing, as well as Uncle Fester star Fred Armisen.
The likes of Isaac Ordonez will be back as Pugsley, but there is one star who is joining the cast as a newbie.
Joanna Lumley has taken on the role of Morticia's mum Grandmama Hester Frump.
Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their amazement over Catherine's appearance
Catherine opened up about what it was like to work with Joanna, who has starred in the likes of Absolutely Fabulous, Motherland, Fool Me Once and Finding Alice.
She told the hosts: '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.'
Catherine added: '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.'
On Tuesday Netflix gave Wednesday fans a first look at Billie Piper in her new role on the show, in which she will star alongside Jenna Ortega.
The gothic comedy, which follows the antics of Wednesday Addams (played by Ortega), debuted on the streaming service in November 2022. It was quickly renewed for a second series in January 2023.
Now, Netflix has unveiled Billie, 42, as Isadora Capri - a captivating new character at Nevermore Academy, where she serves as the school's head of music.
Described as a former child prodigy, Isadora is brilliant, intense, and enigmatic. She takes a special interest in Wednesday's musical talents and also mentors fellow werewolf Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers).
Billie's casting adds an intriguing layer to the series, given her background in supernatural and gothic roles, notably as Brona Croft / The Bride of Frankenstein in Penny Dreadful.
The new images come after Netflix revealed the future of Wednesday beyond the upcoming series two, and fans of the chart-topping show are all saying the same thing.
The One Show airs on BBC One from 7pm and is available to stream on iPlayer.

I 'fat tested' the rides at UK's most popular theme park - there were so many seats I couldn't fit in
A group of women 'fat tested' the rides at Thorpe Park to see if they could fit comfortably in them all. Jo and Nat, known as @ on TikTok, shared their experience of testing the attractions at the popular theme park alongside some friends. First up was Rush, a giant swing ride that goes up to 75ft high at 50mph, and the video showed the pair being flung into the air. 'Never ever, ever again,' Nat commented afterwards. 'I must say, getting into the moulded seat you have to really get your bum back, it was quite tight,' Jo explained. Nat felt it wasn't 'the most comfortable' ride because of the seats being 'hard plastic'. However, overall they felt 'very secure' and were happy with the good amount of 'air time'. Zodiac was next to be put to the test. The ride spins 60ft high and has no restraints holding passengers down. 'Apparently gravity will keep us in when we go upside down,' Jo said. Nat quipped: 'Will we defy gravity?' After the ride, the pair shared their verdicts and Nat described it as 'brilliant'. Jo added: 'What a fantastic ride, you don't have anything holding you in.' Nat interjected: 'Absolutely nothing, you are sat practically on the floor of a cage with nothing, just hold on.' Jo joked: '... gravity keeps you in, and if it kept us whoppers in, it'll keep you in as well.' Vortex, a swinging pendulum ride, was next, and Nat hopped into the tester seat outside of the ride to see if she would be able to comfortably fit. She described it as 'very narrow at the thigh' and no green light appeared above the seat meaning she would be unable to ride. Jo also didn't pass the test, and neither did her friend Yvette, though their pal Susan managed to sit in the set fine. The friends then tested Quantum, a flying carpet, family ride, which secures riders with a lap bar. Nat commented: 'It's very comfortable, easy to access.' Family roller coaster, Flying Fish was also a success but The Swarm's tester seat proved to be too small for Jo and Nat, meaning they couldn't go on the winged roller coaster. In a second video, the group of women tackled Hyperia, the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the UK. Neither Nat or Jo were able to pass the seat test, while their friends Yvette and Susan did. Despite not being allowed to ride, they commented how impressed they were with the accessibility information board nearby Hyperia. Colossus, a 10-looped roller coaster, was up next, and Jo demonstrated herself attempting to fit in the test seat. She said: 'I'm not going to fit, but in the interest of transparency, showing you how much space I've got left from the seat belt.' 'I would say, if you're up to about a size 18 you could do Colossus,' Jo shared. The group of friends then attempted to test out Samurai, a spinning mechanical arm that flies 60ft high. A sign next to the seat said: 'Guests must be properly secured in the ride seat, which may not be possible for those with chest measurements approaching 51 inches.' 'My chest measurement is 63 inches, so there's absolutely no way I can even try it,' Jo commented. She then tested exactly where the harness needed to go down to be able to ride, and was surprised that the gap was quite small. 'If you're over a size 18, you're not going to fit on this,' she said. SAW - The Ride, based on the film of the same name, also wasn't a success for either Nat, Jo or Yvette, though Susan did fit. Though they were able to enjoy The Walking Dead ride, Jo shared: 'The only thing I will say is you have to have two people per cart so me and Nat were really really squashed in together, she had to have her arm around me for the whole ride which I'm sure she enjoyed.' Roller coaster Nemesis Inferno was next, and everyone was able to fit in the tester seat. 'If you are in a larger body, ask for row four and five because they have two seats on there that have double seat belts and they are are a bit more generous,' Nat explained afterwards. 'So I sat in one of those, Jo sat in front, Susan was okay in the normal buckle next to me but there are options if you are bigger bodies.' Drop ride Detonator proved to be a success for Yvette, but Jo and Nat couldn't pass the three safety clicks needed to fit into the seats. Meanwhile, roller coaster Stealth's tester seat was a struggle for three out of the four. Nat shared her overall verdict and said: 'I think the rides are really good but I wouldn't say it's completely accessible for a plus size body. 'I would say accessibility for disabilities is brilliant, though we did seem to ride more thrilling rides at Alton Towers.' It comes after Blackpool Pleasure Beach unveiled footage of its newest ride - which promises to be the 'tallest of its kind' in the UK and transform the resort's famous coastline. The park released the first CGI video of Aviktas, a brand-new £8.72m pendulum ride set to open in 2026. Riders will fly on the towering 138ft gyro swing, alongside the popular Big One roller coaster and parallel to the coast, which is displayed in new footage created by the park's creative team. The ride will be the 'tallest of its kind' in the UK, surpassing the current leader, Drayton Manor's Maelstrom, which reaches approximately 74 feet in height.

Major Coronation Street legend teases ‘fun' return after 21 years
Suranne Jones has sparked a wave of excitement among Coronation Street fans after revealing she wouldn't rule out a return to the soap that helped launch her career. In a recent interview with The Times, the actress said she'd be open to stepping back into the role of Karen McDonald more than two decades after she last appeared on the cobbles. 'Why not?' she said, adding that, with so many years gone by, 'it might be fun.' Suranne first joined Coronation Street in 2000 and quickly became a household name thanks to her explosive performance as Karen, the fiery and ambitious wife of Steve McDonald, played by Simon Gregson. Their on-screen chemistry, along with Karen's sharp wit and fierce personality, made her one of the show's most iconic characters of the early 2000s. Jones left in 2004 and has since gone on to build a highly respected career, with standout roles in Doctor Foster, Gentleman Jack, Save Me, and the Netflix thriller Hostage. Reflecting on her time on the soap, Suranne admitted to The Times that while she once would have dismissed the idea of going back, her perspective has shifted over time. 'I'd have said no years ago,' she said. 'But maybe now. I think it would be interesting.' Her comments come at a time of major change for Coronation Street. This year alone, several long-time cast members have announced their exits, including Helen Worth, Sally Ann Matthews, Charlotte Jordan, Shelley King, and Colson Smith. Most recently, it was confirmed that Sue Devaney's character, Debbie Webster, will be written out in a long-running dementia storyline that's expected to conclude in 2027. This comes just weeks after Suranne Jones opened up in a Celebrity Angels interview about the challenges she faced early in her career. Reflecting on that time, she said, 'It was huge. The paps were chasing us; it was just a different time. It was not fun, not when you're young.' She added, 'It was around the time of people needing to look a certain way, and all of that ring of shame, that's the era that we're talking about.' Continuing, Suranne revealed, 'I was in the press a lot back then, and I had people outside my house. I was being followed.' View More » With all the changes happening on the Cobbles, the idea of Suranne Jones popping back in as Karen feels like something fans could really get behind. She brought a fiery spark and sharp humour that a lot of viewers say has been missing lately. A comeback wouldn't just be nostalgic; it could actually bring a bit of that old Corrie magic back. Nothing's confirmed, of course, but with Suranne saying she's open to it, it's fair to say the door isn't entirely closed. And honestly? Fans love to see it.
