BBC The One Show viewers confused over unexpected format change
The One Show fans were left confused as Alex Jones and Clara Amfo interviewed Tina Knowles on Tuesday
The One Show viewers were left confused over an unexpected format change on Tuesday (June 3).
In the latest episode of the popular BBC show, presenters Alex Jones and Clara Amfo covered the day's biggest stories from the UK and globally.
The duo also spoke to actors Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed about their new British action comedy, Deep Cover, as well as television presenter Fern Britton, who discussed her latest novel, A Cornish Legacy.
Later on, the hosts sat down with Tina Knowles to talk about her revealing new memoir, Matriarch.
The book dives into her life's story, shedding light on her experiences of grief, tragedy, love and heartache, in addition to how she raised her successful daughters, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles, reports the Express.
However, the show's viewers were left confused as Tina didn't join the other guests on the green sofa, but was instead sat in a different part of the studio.
"I wonder if guests negotiate specially to be interviewed in this separate space, away from the riffraff on the main sofa," one viewer pondered on X (formerly Twitter).
Another chimed in: "Tina gets her own sofa #TheOneShow," while someone else questioned: "Why wasn't she sat on the sofa with the guests? #TheOneShow."
There was also speculation among some audience members about whether Tina's segment had been pre-taped, with one comment noting: "Never known anyone do this, assuming it's pre-recorded."
During her interview, Tina opened up about the significance of penning her memoir, stating: "I have just been behind the scenes for pretty much [my daughters] whole career, so this was a big step for me to come out.
"It's been a wonderful journey, I've learned so much from writing this book. It was very necessary to look at all the things, the good and the bad, that have happened in my life, and for me to tell it from my own words.
"We're in a time where there are so many rumours, and I just wanted to set the record straight on so many things. It's been a great healing journey for me."
Tina revealed that the memoir's origins began over a decade ago as recordings for her grandchildren, but she later realised its wider potential to aid others and chose to publish it.

BBC Shetland fans told to binge new series following real Scottish island murder
The new documentary on Amazon Prime Video is a must-watch for fans of the BBC's Shetland Viewers who enjoy the BBC crime drama Shetland are advised to watch a forthcoming Amazon Prime Video documentary that delves into the real-life account of a murder in the Scottish islands. The Orkney Assassin: Murder in the Isles, a new feature-length documentary, will premiere on the streaming service later this week. The documentary recounts the shocking tale of a cold-blooded murder in Scotland and follows a family determined to secure their son Michael Ross's release from prison. According to Amazon Prime Video's synopsis: "One summer evening in 1994, a masked man walked calmly into the only Indian restaurant in the remote Orkney Islands and shot a waiter dead before disappearing into the night. "The murder remained unsolved for years, until new evidence emerged, resulting in an unexpected arrest that stunned the local community. "Featuring powerful new testimony, this twist-filled true crime documentary explores one of Scotland's most contentious cases." An exclusive preview shared with Reach hints at what's to come, with a "twist in the tale that nobody saw coming". The footage reveals that Michael Ross made a daring escape attempt from court in dramatic scenes, reports the Express. KC Brian McConnachie remarks: "I've been doing this for 40 years and I have never seen such a dramatic end to a trial." Former journalist Bob Dow adds: "It was so bizarre, it was so surreal, you couldn't make this up. "If you wrote this as a Hollywood movie script, no one would believe you. They would say it was unimaginable." While The Orkney Assassin is based on a real-life case and Shetland is purely fictional, BBC viewers may still find this series appealing due to its familiar themes and Scottish island setting. BBC's Shetland is a crime drama set predominantly on the eponymous archipelago, having first aired in March 2013. The series, adapted by David Kane, is based on the novels of Ann Cleeves and has previously bagged the award for Best TV Drama from BAFTA Scotland. The initial seven series starred Douglas Henshall as DI Jimmy Pérez, while Ashley Jensen took on the role of DI Ruth Calder from series 8. Whilst a release date for series 10 hasn't been confirmed, Shetland is anticipated to return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year.

'Crazy' - Derbyshire runs fifth-best British time
Great Britain's Seamus Derbyshire said becoming the fifth-fastest British man ever to run the 400m hurdles is "mind-boggling".The 25-year-old clocked 48.47 seconds at a meeting in Prague on Monday to not only smash his personal best but also make the qualification standard for the World Championships in Tokyo later this Akabusi set the British record of 47.82 set at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992."It was point eight of a second quicker than I've ever run before, which you don't get to be like that very often," Derbyshire said."So I knew it was good, but it was crazy and I was in shock. I couldn't comprehend it in the moment." 'I'd never believe it in a million years' Commonwealth Games 400m hurdles bronze medallist Alastair Chambers, Joshua Fauldes, a bronze medallist, along with Chambers, in the 4x400m mixed relay at the European Indoor Championships in February, and European U20 4x400m relay champion Jake Minshull have all run sub-49 seconds this year, with Derbyshire now top of the list. The City of Stoke Athletics Club member, and silver medallist at the European Under-20 Championships in 2019, also moved past Chambers in the all-time British list."The event is in such a strong place in the UK at the moment," Derbyshire told BBC Radio Stoke. "So that, as a stat, is mind-boggling."I started athletics 11 years ago and if you'd told me then this is how good I could potentially be I would never ever believe it in a million years. "It's like living the dream."Only Chris Rawlinson, David Hemery, David Greene and Akabusi have run faster than Derbyshire , externalwho is open-minded about how close he can get to the British record."I'm making my way up and I've jumped from 29th to 5th and it's a huge leap in one race," Derbyshire said."My training has been different to what I've done before and that has kept me quite fresh. "Everything I was doing was suggesting I was getting quicker and stronger. It's the first year with a new coach and training set-up, so who knows?" 'This is your line in the sand' Derbyshire's performance in the Czech Republic came after he effectively had a year out of the sport in 2024 to have a break from "all the pressure and stress of competing".He came fifth in the 400m at the UK Championships in February and was part of Team GB's 4x400m relay squad at the European Indoors in March."Our main aim was getting back into the European circle and enjoying what I was doing and I did that really well indoors," Derbyshire said."I just want that to translate into outdoors."I had a bit of a messy run the week before [Prague] but I think it really helped me lock in. I really was like, 'OK, this is your bench[mark], start like this is your line in the sand, like you know what you can improve on.'"It fuelled the performance for the week after because I was very determined to do something I felt was more representative of myself."Derbyshire said his run "felt incredible" and like a bit of a "blur"."Even though it was so much quicker than I've ever run before, it just felt effortless to some degree - so I knew I was running well," he added."But then when I saw the time, I was like, 'Wow.'" LA 2028 would be 'kind of crazy' Derbyshire's time makes him eligible for selection for the World Championships in Japan in can further enhance his claim for a place by finishing in the top two at the UK Championships in Birmingham in August."It would be great to get picked [but] nothing is guaranteed," Derbyshire said. "The event is in such a good place, I genuinely believe there's more boys that are capable of it. "We celebrated the high, but it doesn't mean the work is over. "It takes a lot of pressure off for the rest of the season, so it's now just making sure I continue performing well and try and pull out some of my best performances at the British Championships come August."Beyond that, Derbyshire said making the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028 is his "long-term plan"."I would love to to go to the Olympics. I feel like that is sort of the ultimate for everyone," he added. "Once you're an Olympian, they can't take that away from you."I'll be 28-years-old, so in terms of handling it, that's like a really good age - you're starting to come towards like your peak."It's a really good thing to get me towards that goal. I'd love to be an Olympian. I just think that would be kind of crazy."
