BBC The One Show axed amid TV schedule shake up

BBC flagship show The One Show has been axed from the BBC One schedule on Friday, May 5. The programme is normally hosted by Welsh TV presenter Alex Jones and different co-presenters including Jermaine Jenas and Ronan Keating.

The One Show will not be airing on BBC One on Friday, May 5 and instead will be replaced by HM The King's Coronation: The Eve of the Coronation which is a documentary hosted by Kirsty Young about King Charles III. Kirsty Young is joined by a range of guests who give personal insights into the King and Queen Consort as they look ahead to the coronation.

Sophie Raworth joins from outside Westminster Abbey, while JJ Chalmers speaks to members of the armed forces as they prepare for one of the biggest military parades in British living memory. The One Show will also be missing from the TV schedule on Monday, May 8 when Eurovision Welcomes The World will be shown.
