The One Show viewers rip into ‘cringeworthy’ new look as BBC set completely transformed
THE One Show fans have shared their thoughts on the BBC show’s new shooting location.
In honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, hosts Alex Jones, 44, and Ronan Keating, 44, headed to Buckingham Palace for Wednesday’s show.
They were joined in the blue drawin room by former member of parliament Gyles Brandreth and Masterchef star Monica Galetti in the episode which marked 100 days until Queen Elizabeth’s platinum jubilee in June.
Despite the glamorous location, fans watching the show were not impressed with the change of scenery and marking the jubilee celebrations so far in advance.
“This is all a bit much. Sorry. #theoneshow,” complained one fan on Twitter.
Another added: “What’s on tomorrow’s #TheOneShow then? 305 days to go until Christmas special? #cringe.”
And a third wrote: “Wtaf,celebrating 100 days to go before the queens jublie #TheOneShow.”
Presenter Alex declared it was one of her favourite days at work, after sharing behind the scenes pics of herself at the palace.

“My favourite bathroom selfie….in fact one of my favourite days ever. A proper pinch myself moment,” Alex declared on Instagram.
Wednesday’s show was also used to confirm George Ezra as the first artist to wow the crowds at the forthcoming Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Concert.
The 28-year-old singer will take to the stage in front of 10,000 fans as well as millions of viewers for the live concert on June 4, marking Her Majesty’s 70-year Jubilee.
Appearing on The One Show live from Buckingham Palace, Capital Breakfast presenter Roman Kemp stood in the music room to announce the news.
In a statement, award-winning musician Ezra, who currently has chicken pox, said: “Hello everyone, I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert, what an incredible honour to be asked.
“I look forward to seeing you all on June 4 where we can bring pop and roll to the palace.”
The Platinum Party At The Palace will have three stages, 3D-projections across the face of the palace and an in-person audience of 10,000, Kemp announced.
He added: “It is going to be a lot of fun. June 4 so you know the weather is going to be absolutely amazing, live on BBC One and absolutely the coolest party you have ever been too.
“Not only that but we are going to have rock royalty there, your favourite film stars, TV stars, all the musicians you could ever ask for, and then we have also got myself and Clara Amfo will be back in the action seeing how people are going on.
“But the most hi-tech thing we’ve got going on is the whole palace is going to have 3D-projection all around it so its going to look slick.
“It is live on BBC One and iPlayer, whether you are one of the lucky 10,000 that gets a ticket to come down here, but to be totally honest, this is not something you are going to be able to escape.”
The ballot for the tickets opens at 7am on Thursday February 24 and will remain open for one month so everyone has the chance of winning a pair of tickets.
