The One Show host Alex Jones confirmed the return of her co-host after a lengthy absence from the BBC programme.<\/p>\n

Alex Jones has disclosed that one of her previous co-presenters is making a comeback to The One Show<\/a> next week.<\/p>\n

At the end of Friday’s (August 1) programme, the Welsh host, who recently provided an update to her followers, i<\/a>nformed BBC<\/a> audiences that Ronan Keating<\/a> was returning to the iconic green sofa following an extended absence.<\/p>\n

As the episode ended she announced to viewers: “That’s all we’ve got time for tonight! a big thank you to our guests.<\/p>\n

“Now, Ronan Keating is back with me on Monday, with guest’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Ade Edmondson and Helen George.”<\/p>\n

The revelation follows the Boyzone singer’s disclosure back in 2023 that he would be presenting fewer programmes owing to his musical obligations, reports Wales Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a statement released at the time, Ronan explained: “I’ll be doing less shows this year due to my performing and recording schedule but I’m still very much part of the family.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in the episode, presenters Alex and Clara Amfo admitted they felt anxious about one specific guest they would be interviewing.<\/p>\n

As Friday’s programme began, BBC viewers witnessed Clara and Alex reveal who would be appearing later in the show.<\/p>\n

Initially they mentioned Vicky McClure would be performing live later in the programme with Jon McClure’s band Reverend and the Makers.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it was actor Sam Claflin who left the pair feeling nervous about welcoming him onto the programme.<\/p>\n

Clara said: “We’re equally excited by somebody else who knows a thing or two about rock’n’roll, actor Sam Claflin blew us away in Daisy Jones and The Six.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, myself and Al were obsessed with this show, we’re a bit worried that he’s going to be scared of us later, but we carry on!”<\/p>\n

Despite this, it appeared Sam was entirely comfortable whilst chatting to the duo, as they discussed his part in the Amazon Prime programme.<\/p>\n

Playing Billy Dunne in Daisy Jones and The Six, Clara didn’t hesitate to enquire whether viewers might anticipate another series.<\/p>\n

The star responded: “I can’t speak for everyone, I can speak for myself. I think we’d love to. It’s just not in my hands! It’s not my decision unfortunately.<\/p>\n

“I think getting six actors together with our schedules-obviously, if we were a band, our schedules would be aligned.<\/p>\n

“But, we’re all actors, we all have families, we’re all from different parts of the world<\/a>. The desire is there, but it’s out of my hands.”<\/p>\n
