Every Thursday the BBC programme likes to say One Big Thank You to someone who always help others.
Leeza's son Spencer was born with complex needs, so has been fundraising for charities that support those with additional needs.
The hairdresser has organised dinners, cake sales, virtual bike rides, and also offers free haircuts.
The One Show sent out Mark to surprise her by telling her that he was filming a new reality show in town.

Leeza was left lost for words when he turned up in her salon with a camera crew and thought that she was going to star in the programme.
"Why is the shop called Spencer's?," Mark asked.
Leeza said: "It's my son. We named it after Spencer because he was my inspiration."
Mark asked: "Have you lived around here a long time?"

"No I came to Peterborough in 2006 and I came here because they've got better provision for my son who has got disabilities," Leeza said.
Mark then said: "Well I'm not really filming a reality show...
"I'm actually here with The One Show for One Big Thank You!
"So we're actually here to say thank you for all the incredible work you do for your son Spencer and all the charity work you do as well."
Leeza was left speechless and fought back the tears as she said thank you.
Mark then took her around the corner and surprised her with her close friends and family.
They all cheered her on as she watched a video of them saying thank you.
Loose Women star Stacey Solomon also appeared on the screen to praise her for her hard work.
