BBC’s The One Show Host Alex Jones in Embarrassing On-Air Moment with David Tennant
A recent broadcast of The One Show on BBC One and iPlayer saw host Alex Jones find herself in a sticky situation when she accidentally let slip a surprise detail about an upcoming game show, prompting an on-air apology. The incident occurred during an interview with actor David Tennant, who was on the show to discuss his latest venture, Genius Game.
According to reports from The Express, Alex Jones and fellow host Angelica Bell welcomed David Tennant to the show on Tuesday, April 29. During their chat, David playfully called out Alex for seemingly revealing a ‘spoiler’ about the game show. The actor outlined his role, stating: "Well I’m the creator, which I didn’t create it, but I’m called the creator. I am sort of the voice of God, I kind of appear and give them instructions, tell them what to do and make them do things." He went on to say: "They are all very bright and clever…" before Alex hastily chimed in with: "NASA and things?".
This triggered a light-hearted reprimand from David as he disclosed: "Well the NASA thing is a bit of a gag, bit of a spoiler really." Mortified, Alex covered her face with her hands, exclaiming: "Oh sorry. Sorry David." While Angelica consoled her by wrapping her in a hug, echoing: "Sorry, sorry." Laughter ensued as David quipped: "You’ve watched the first episode clearly. That’s fine, it’s fine." As The Express reported, the incident was a momentary lapse for the host, who is known for her poise and professionalism.
David Tennant is set to take on a new role as The Creator in the upcoming game show, Genius Game. According to The Express, the eight-part series will feature 11 players selected for their intellectual prowess and social IQ. To secure a life-changing cash prize, they must participate in a series of unique games designed to test not only their intellect but also their ability to manipulate their opponents. In his role as The Creator, Tennant will guide the contestants through these mind-boggling challenges.
The game show promises to be an exciting and unpredictable ride, with contestants competing in a series of challenges to stay in the running for the grand prize. As reported by The Express, the first episode introduces a ‘Main Match’, with the inaugural challenge being a ‘Gold Heist’. Contestants must work together to stay in the running for the grand prize. Successful completion of the heist earns them a ‘Token of Life’, which can be used to save themselves or another player. The loser, however, must participate in a ‘Death Match’ against a competitor of their choosing.
For those who may have missed the episode, The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer. Fans of David Tennant will be eager to see more of him in his new role as The Creator, and Genius Game is sure to be a hit with audiences. As quoted in The Express, David Tennant’s appearance on The One Show was a lighthearted and entertaining segment, despite the minor mishap with Alex Jones.
