BBC's The One Show was halted for an important announcement this evening following an intense interview on a "horrific" real-world tragedy.
On Wednesday night (April 23), hosts Alex Jones and JB Gill welcomed celebrity guests Max Beesley and Edison Alcaide to the green sofa. The pair are starring in the upcoming Disney+ series Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles De Menezes.
The upcoming four-part series, released on the streaming platform on April 30, tells the real-life story of the death of Brazilian man Jean Charles De Menezes who was mistaken for a terrorist in the wake of the 2005 London bombings. The bombing attack occurred on July 7 killing 52 people and injuring 770 more.

Meanwhile Max, who portrays assistant commissioner Andy Hayman, shared with One Show viewers where he was when the real-world bombings occurred.
"I remember where I was on the day, we were meant to do a read-through of a show at 9, and the producers said let's start at 8.30 so we were on the infrastructure going into the workplace an hour earlier than we would have been," he began.
"All of us were on that infrastructure and it was terrifying hearing the sirens at 9.30 and think what the heck is going on and of course we learned now what a tragedy that was."

"I think everybody remembers where they were, don't they?" host Alex Jones interjected.
When the interview wrapped up, Alex halted the show's usual proceedings, swiftly turning to the camera to issue an important announcement for viewers watching at home.
"Well, it's a really important show and you've done so well. Congratulations on your performances," she started. "Details of organisations offering help and support with PTSD and mental health are available of course at bbc.co.uk/actionline."

'Woke' Rachel Zegler makes barbed comment about Broadway after shock Tony Awards 2025 snub and Snow White flop
Rachel Zegler made a barbed comment about Broadway as she shared a series of snaps in honor of the Tony Awards 2025 on Sunday. The Snow White star, 24, was snubbed for her Broadway debut in the revival of Romeo and Juliet in which she starred with Heartstopper's Kit Connor. Zegler shared a message for her fellow Broadway stars, adding that a turn on the Great White Way 'is not for the faint of heart.' 'I have the most respect for the people being honored tonight – doing anything, especially a 2-3 hour marathon such as a Broadway musical or play,' Rachel began. 'It is not for the faint of heart,' she explained. 'We are athletes in our own right and tonight is truly a celebration of all the hard work – both on stage and off – that goes on in these iconic spaces.' She added, 'I love my job so d*mn much.' Rachel missed out on a Best Actress nod, while Sadie Sink, Sarah Snook, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Laura Donnelly and Mia Farrow all earned nods. So far, Zegler is best known for the box office flop Snow White. Prior to its release, Snow White was mired in controversy due to comments from Zegler and the absence of the iconic song 'Someday My Prince Will Come.' In an effort to be more progressive, Disney also changed the dwarves to be called 'magical creatures.' Critics of the remake first jumped on Disney for the decision to cast Zegler in the role due to her Colombian ancestry. The original fairytale revealed that the princess is given her name because her skin is 'as white as snow.' At the time, Zegler said that the origin story had changed, and in Disney's new version the princess earns the name due to a snowstorm she survived as a child. She then came under fire for criticizing original animation when she called it 'dated' during a red carpet interview with Extra TV in 2022. She eventually walked back her comments and assured fans that the love story would be 'integral' to the remake's plot. Disney fans then expressed discontent at Zegler when she said she was 'scared' of the original version as a child and only watched it one time. Although the Disney remake has been widely considered a flop, Rachel has already lined up next role. She will be starring opposite Marisa Tomei, 60, of My Cousin Vinny fame, in her next movie role. In the upcoming comedy-drama She Gets It From Me, Zegler will play the daughter of the Tomei's wild, unruly and free-spirited character, according to the synopsis reported by Variety. She Gets It From Me 'follows Nicky (Zegler), whose engagement celebration turns into a search for her pill-popping, ex-punk rocker birth mother Charlotte (Tomei)', per the outlet. 'Together, the two embark on an anarchic mother-and-daughter journey to reconnect after being estranged.' The synopsis reads: 'YouTube is packed with tearful family reunions, but nobody films the messy aftermath.' Rachel was snubbed this week as Tony nominations were announced and she did not make the list for her role in the Broadway revival of Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. Seen here October 24, 2024 The forthcoming film, directed by Julia von Heinz, is based on a true story. Many of Zegler's fans showed their support for the actress as they praised her for staying 'booked and busy.' The Snow White remake was heavily hyped up until its release, however, it has faced a string of controversies after Zegler's controversial comments about the original cartoon film.

Billie Piper 'let slip' she was returning to Doctor Who weeks ago
Billie Piper will be the next Doctor after it was revealed in the finale episode of the latest series last weekend - but she accidentally 'shared' the news weeks before Actress Billie Piper appeared to let slip she was returning to Doctor Who weeks before it was revealed. The 42-year-old will become the second female Doctor in the next series. So far, Jodie Whittaker is the only female to take on the iconic role. It comes after Ncuti Gatwa's shock exit during the finale of the latest series when his character regenerated into Billie in his final episode, which aired on the BBC on Saturday, May 31. Speaking in BBC Three's Doctor Who: Unleashed to mark the 20 years since the show was revived, Billie dropped a huge hint she was returning to the show for the third time, following her original appearance as Rose Tyler from 2005 to 2006 and a cameo in 2010. Asked if she would ever make a comeback in the interview filmed weeks before the news was officially announced, she said: "Yeah I would… I would come back. What's funny is that I never feel like I've left Doctor Who, because there is this huge Doctor Who afterlife." She continued: "Obviously people still really want to talk about it, it's a massive fandom, so we do conventions and we meet lots of the fans, and there's always features. It's always on the TV on some channel, and a new generation pick it up, so it never feels like it's over, like it does with all the other jobs I've done." Billie then accidentally blurted out: "So coming back is really good fun." Quickly correcting herself, she added: "So I would do it, but I still feel like I'm in it. Just a lot older." Now cat is out the bag, Billie has since said it was too good of an opportunity to turn down. In a statement, she shared: "It's no secret how much I love this show, and I have always said I would love to return to the Whoniverse, as I have some of my best memories there. So to be given the opportunity to step back on that Tardis one more time was just something I couldn't refuse." Now it is rumoured that the 10th Doctor, played by David Tennant, could also return to the show alongside Billie 20 years after they first appeared on screen together. Though if Billie is the new Doctor, it's unclear what role David would take on. A source told The Sun: "The BBC brought Doctor Who back in 2005 and there is talk about a possible one-off project to celebrate the 20th anniversary. David and Billie were a hugely popular partnership and he brought in a golden age of Doctor Who. "With the anniversary of the reboot this year there have been some ideas floated about, with the thought of maybe bringing David and Billie back together for one last hurrah. When David's Doctor bi-generated in the 60th anniversary special, his 'half' went on to live a normal life in an alternative universe while Ncuti Gatwa's carried on as the Time Lord. 'It wouldn't be beyond the realms of imagination for him to return with Billie as Rose for a one-off special to celebrate not only their partnership, but the anniversary of BBC bringing back Doctor Who." David, 54, played the 10th Doctor from 2005 to 2010 and appeared in three specials returning as the 14th Doctor before handing the role over to 32-year-old Sex Education star Ncuti. Speaking about his exit from the show after just one season, Ncuti told fans: "You know when you get cast, at some point, you are going to have to hand back that sonic screwdriver and it is all going to come to an end, but nothing quite prepares you for it. This journey has been one that I will never forget and a role that will be part of me forever. "I've loved every minute of it, but now is the time to hand over the keys to that beloved blue box and let someone else take control and enjoy it every bit as much as I have. I'll truly miss it, and forever be grateful to it, and everyone that has played a part in my journey as the Doctor." Explaining his reasons for leaving, he added: "It's a role that demands a lot of you physically and emotionally and mentally. The actors playing the Doctor are only actors playing the Doctor. Unfortunately, we are mere mortals. I would love to have the energy and the youth to be able to do this full time for the rest of my life, but my knees are telling me it's time." However, die-hard fans think there may be another reason behind his exit. Taking to X, a fan named Mr Tardis wrote: "In October 2024, Ncuti Gatwa was on 'The Graham Norton Show' saying he was going to be filming another series of DW next year. In June 2025, he officially leaves the show and regenerates. This was never the plan. What a shame. He deserved so much better." But the BBC were quick to shut down those claims. A spokesperson said: "Whilst we never comment on the future of the Doctor, any suggestion that Ncuti Gatwa has been 'axed' is pure fiction."
