The One Show viewers seriously distracted by Alex Jones outfit – before show shake up is announced
VIEWERS of The One Show were seriously distracted by Alex Jones’ bold outfit on yesterday’s edition of the show.
The presenter took to the airwaves as usual to present Thursday’s edition of the flagship BBC One magazine show alongside Roman Kemp.
However, rather than the huge A-list guests of America Ferrera, Margot Robbie and Billy Porter, those watching at home couldn’t help but notice something else in the studio.
Alex, 46, took to the iconic green sofa wearing a top with thick turquoise and white stripes and puffy sleeves alongside Roman, 30.
This was accompanied by matching trousers with red tassels as side lining alongside her red heels.
However viewers couldn’t help but make jokes about the outfit as it reminded them of a ‘deck chair’.
One viewer wrote: @theoneshow good to see @MissAlexjones wearing a recycled deckchair from #SewingBee 🤣. Fair play Alex!
“#TheOneShow what a clever use for old deck chair material,” joked a second.
And a third added: “Never mind pink day for #barbie but @MissAlexjones has come dressed as a deck chair #oneshow #theoneshow @BBCTheOneShow.”
Alex is also not the only TV presenter who has chosen the two-piece, as A Place In The Sun’s Laura Hamilton took to social media with the outfit in one of her posts.
This comes as The One Show has been cancelled in a huge summer schedule shake up.
With Wimbledon and First Night of the Proms dominating the line-up on BBC One and Two, there isn’t any room for the magazine programme, which usually airs at 7pm.
At the end of Thursday’s episode, presenter Alex made the surprise announcement but didn’t give a reason why – which is sure to have left fans confused.
It’s not the first time this week wires have been crossed on the show.
Viewers had been expecting to see Morgan Freeman as a guest earlier this week, but was forced to pull out at the last minute.
Actor Morgan, 86, had been advertised as a guest alongside Nicole Kidman, 56, and Zoe Saldana, 45, on the BBC programme, but was nowhere to be seen.
After the Hollywood stars promoted their new spy thriller – Special Ops: Lioness – host Alex Jones, 46, was forced to address the elephant in the room.
She said, “Honestly, we’ve seen a bit of it, it is brilliant. Morgan Freeman, also in it. He was gonna come tonight so we’re gutted he couldn’t make it last minute.”
The Sun contacted Morgan’s representative and the BBC for comment at the time – and later revealed he had been struck down by an illness.
