BBC comedy star lets slip 'huge twist' ahead of series return
Sian Gibson appeared on BBC's The One Show to chat about the new series of her comedy The Power of Parker with co-star Conleth Hill Sian Gibson appeared on The One Show on Monday, May 26 when she revealed a "huge twist" in the new season of her BBC comedy series The Power of Parker. The comedy star, known for her role in Peter Kay's Car Share, appeared with fellow actor Conleth Hill to dish out details about the second series. Set in 1990s Stockport, the show charts the chaotic life of Martin Parker (Hill), caught between his wife (Rosie Cavaliero) and his mistress (Kath). While talking about the new series, Conleth revealed to presenters Alex Jones and Roman Kemp that Martin has experienced a "huge fall from grace" with things being exacerbated by Kath. Sian couldn't help but chime in, saying: "Kath makes everything worse but there's lots of twists and turns and there's a huge twist in one of the episodes which means that Kath and Diane, her sister, played by lovely Rose Cavaliero, and Martin all have to work together." Alex quickly jump in with an "Oh no!" as Sian cheekily noted: "But we can't say what happens," reports the Express. Sian also let slip that despite Martin moving in with Kath, she's having second thoughts about their relationship, feeling he's "lost his sparkle". She suggests that Kath's plan to coax him back into work might just be the spark needed to ignite that lost twinkle. The show's setting in an electrical store tickled presenters Alex and Roman as show co-creator Sian revealed her fondness for such shops. She explained: "Do you remember in the olden days if you wanted a kettle you had to go to one shop for everything electrical, you couldn't shop around. It were magical, these places with everything there." The One Show returned on Monday after being bumped from its usual slot the previous Friday due to BBC reshuffling its schedule for The Chelsea Flower Show coverage; the programme is typically broadcast on weekdays at 7 pm on BBC One. The announcement of the change came during Thursday's episode when fill-in host Angellica Bell became emotional while paying tribute to a charitable individual during the One Big Thank You segment. The programme honoured Carole Hughes of Stamford who, alongside her husband Rob, established the charity Anna's Hope in memory of their daughter, Anna, who tragically passed away at three years old from a brain tumour. Only weeks after losing Anna, Carole and Rob set up the charity to fund specialist occupational, physical, and speech and language therapy for children affected by brain tumours. As a special gesture of appreciation for her tireless efforts, Angellica and Joanna Lumley granted Carole a memorable surprise by naming a flower after her daughter at The Chelsea Flower Show.

BBC The One Show viewers 'in bits' as hosts honour 'special' WWII veteran
The One Show viewers were left in tears as Alex Jones and Lauren Laverne introduced a special VE Day segment on Thursday The One Show viewers were left in tears after an emotional VE Day surprise aired this Thursday (May 8). During the latest edition of the hit BBC programme, hosts Alex Jones and Lauren Laverne discussed the latest headlines from across the UK. As part of today's Victory in Europe commemorations, the pair introduced the One Big Thank You segment. Each week, the show praises someone who has gone the extra mile to help others in their community. "We have a very special One Big Thank You, because tonight, on the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we're honouring 100-year-old Dorothea from Hertfordshire," Lauren began, reports the Express. In 1943, Dorothea Barron joined the Women's Royal Naval Service, where she worked as a signaller using semaphore and Morse code. She joined as soon as she turned 18 years old. "To join the wrens, you had to be five foot three, but my mother's never been five foot three. What she did when she went for interview was put cardboard cut-outs in her shoes to make her a little bit taller," Dorothea's daughter, Kati, explained. Dorothea met her husband, Andrew, after they both served during the war. Andrew was an RAF navigator and they married in 1948. After more than 70 years together, Andrew sadly passed away in 2021. Now, Dorothea continues to campaign to keep the memory of her fellow veterans alive. To thank her for all her hard work, The Traitors winner Leanne Quigley surprised Dorothea with her own military flypast as RAF Coningsby. Dorothea was brought to tears by the surprise, saying: "I'm absolutely overwhelmed... It's been an honour to be here." After hearing her story, the show's viewers were also left feeling emotional, with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their reactions. "Someone pass me a tissue. Dorothea is a wonderful lady, God Bless you sweetheart," one person wrote, while another added: "Amazing lady." "That was bloody beautiful," a third said, with another sharing: "Oh that made me cry." A fifth viewer echoed the sentiment, saying: "God I'm in tears - Dorothea is incredible," with another writing: "In absolute bits here."
