The One Show taken off air in huge BBC schedule shake-up

The One Show is set to be taken off air in a huge BBC schedule shake-up. The hit programme usually airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One, but it won't be shown on Friday, May 23 as the broadcaster focuses on coverage from The Chelsea Flower Show.

Helen Skelton's documentary series, Lost and Found in the Lakes, will instead air at 7pm, followed by a 30-minute Chelsea Flower Show special, hosted by Sophie Raworth and Adam Frost.

The horticultural coverage will continue on BBC Two at 8pm, with Monty Don, Rachel de Thame and Arit Anderson providing their analysis of the winning garden in the BBC RHS People's Choice Award.

Angellica Bell, standing in for Alex Jones, confirmed the shake-up at the end of Thursday's (May 22) episode of The One Show.

Angellica has notably been fronting the coverage of The Chelsea Flower Show this week, alongside Nicki Chapman. "We're not on tomorrow as we're making way for The Chelsea Flower Show," she told The One Show viewers.

Roman Kemp added: "And if you're looking for great live music, don't miss Radio 1's Big Weekend, which kicks off in Liverpool tomorrow with non-stop coverage on BBC Radio 1, BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer."

Roman also revealed that the show would air at the earlier time of 6.30pm on Monday (May 26) night.

"I'll be back on Monday at the slightly earlier time of 6.30pm. We've got some great guests next week, including John Legend, Carey Mulligan and Lionel Richie. What a show," he said.

Elsewhere on tonight's show, Angellica fought back tears after the team honoured a charity worker during the One Big Thank You segment.

The show surprised Carole Hughes from Stamford, who lost her daughter, Anna, at just three years old to a brain tumour.

Six weeks after Anna's death, Carole and her husband Rob created the charity Anna's Hope in their daughter's honour. The charity raises funds for dedicated occupational, physical and speech and language therapies for children with brain tumours.

To thank her for all her hard work, Angellica and Joanna Lumley surprised Carole with a flower named after Anna at The Chelsea Flower Show.

The One Show airs weeknights on BBC One at 7pm
