The One Show was presented by whom from 2010 to 2011?
The One Show The One Show is a British television magazine and chat show programme . Broadcast live on BBC One weeknights at 7:00 pm , it features topical stories and studio guests . It is currently co-hosted by Alex Jones , Jermaine Jenas and Ronan Keating . Various reporters also assist with subject-specific presenting , both in the studio and on location , or through filmed segments . Originally produced in Birmingham and then in the BBC Media Village in White City , London , since 2014 the studio has been based in Broadcasting House , the BBCs headquarters in London . Launched with a pilot series in 2006 , leading to a full series from 2007 , it has had various previous permanent and temporary hosts . After initial low ratings , the partnership of Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley from 2007 to 2010 has been credited with boosting ratings and establishing the show as a popular staple of British viewing . The longest-serving partnership was between Jones and Matt Baker , who hosted together between 2011 and 2020 . The programme is usually 30 minutes long , although it is occasionally extended to an hour . It runs all year round , apart from a two-week break at Christmas and a four-week summer holiday , with the summer slot filled with a highlights show , The One Show : Best of British , presented by Matt Allwright and Lucy Siegle . Launching the full series represented a major financial commitment for the BBC , and was seen by it as a first test of a wide-ranging restructuring of the BBCs production arm into a more flexible and creative organisation , with the show seen as a potential platform for piloting other programme ideas . Format . As a topical magazine programme , The One Show covers a variety of stories , ranging from light-hearted humour to serious issues or tragic current events . The broadcast features a mix of in-studio presenting , outside live broadcasting , and pre-recorded segments . Reporters and other experts are included to provide contributions on various topics , both in the studio and as part of segments . Special guests are usually introduced at the top of the show , and remain throughout , often being encouraged to interact with it in various ways , as opposed to simply answering questions . Inside the studio , videotaping is done in front of a small standing audience , and focuses on two sofas ( one for the two presenters , one for guests and contributors ) arranged around a coffee table , often serving a practical use , e.g . during food tasting . Use of the forecourt of Broadcasting House for outside live broadcasts is common , allowing for a larger audience and/or a bigger stage for a performance or demonstration . The show often takes an active part in events such as Comic Relief/Sport Relief and Children in Need . Cross-promotion of other BBC shows is common , although under BBC rules the show cannot give the BBC preferential coverage . History . The One Show was initially commissioned for a four-week trial run . It was broadcast on weeknights at 6:55 pm between 14 August and 8 September 2006 . The programme was billed as a topical magazine show that was to showcase stories of interest from around the United Kingdom . The trial was hosted by Adrian Chiles and Nadia Sawalha , featuring reports from a variety of people across the UK . The show was intended to be an updated version of the BBC news magazine show Nationwide ( 1969–83 ) . After favourable viewing figures for the pilot , the show returned for a full series after being revamped on 9 July 2007 . Team members were Adrian Chiles , studio presenter , Hardeep Singh Kohli , head roving reporter , and 13 other reporters or contributors . A number of changes were made to the format . The show was moved from Birmingham to London . Sawalha was replaced by Myleene Klass . Klass then left in August to give birth to her first child , and was replaced by Christine Bleakley . The line-up was completed by the addition of a new team of reporters . The show replaced Real Story , and Holiday . The shows 400th episode aired on 18 March 2009 ; this was an hour in length instead of the usual 30 minutes . From September 2009 , The One Show included a 60-minute episode every week , after successfully trying the format in May 2009 . The hour-long format continued until December 2009 , and was revived in April 2011 . On 13 April 2010 , it was announced the show was being revamped with an hour-long Friday episode , to be hosted by Chris Evans . He was not due to start until after the summer break , but prior to this , both Chiles and Bleakley left the show . Chiles departed first , this being announced on 19 April , his last appearance being on 30 April . His replacement was announced on 26 May as Jason Manford , to begin in July . Bleakley continued alongside stand-ins until the last show before the break , on 10 June 2010 , with her departure confirmed during the break , on 8 July . The BBC had also confirmed that following the break , The One Show would be broadcast in high-definition , with the set updated to HD standards . The show returned on 12 July with stand-in presenters . On 26 July , S4C presenter Alex Jones was announced as the new female co-host . The new lineup of Jones and Manford on Monday to Thursday , and Jones and Evans on Friday , did not debut until the week beginning 16 August , Evans first show being Friday 20 August . On Friday 19 November , it was announced Manford was resigning ; his last show had aired that Wednesday , for – owing to the Children in Need telethon being on Friday – Chris Evans had presented the end-of-week episode on Thursday . Filling in , Jones was joined by guest presenters including Matt Baker , Alexander Armstrong and Matt Allwright on Monday to Thursday , with Evans also presenting extra episodes on occasion . The show began broadcasting from New Broadcasting House on 6 January 2014 with revamped opening title sequence graphics . The opening sequence is also enhanced for the run-up to Christmas each year with extra vocals and visual sparkle . On 25 January 2011 , Matt Baker was announced as Manfords replacement . On 19 June 2015 it was announced Evans would be leaving , his last show being 10 July 2015 . Following the departure of Evans , the Friday show has been presented by Jones alongside various guest presenters , the first being Patrick Kielty ( on 17 July ) . On 26 January 2015 , an FA Cup draw was performed on the show for the first time , for the 2014–15 FA Cup Fifth Round Proper . The BBC regained the broadcasting rights for the Cup from that season and since then , draws have been a semi-regular occurrence on the programme . On 1 February 2016 , the show broadcast an extended one-hour tribute to TV and radio host Sir Terry Wogan , who had died the previous day . This format was repeated ( albeit for the usual 30-minute duration ) on 31 March 2016 as a tribute to comedian Ronnie Corbett who had died earlier in the day . On 17 May 2016 , the show broadcast a 25-minute EastEnders special , EastEnders : Last Orders , to mark the end of the era of the character Peggy Mitchell , who was to be leaving the soap for the final time ; the show went out live from Albert Square , with cast members talking about Peggy and the show itself . On 6 January 2017 , Jones presented her last show before going on maternity leave ; guest presenters Angela Scanlon and Michelle Ackerley began to take over for Jones effective 9 January . Jones called into the show on 26 January to announce that she had given birth to a baby boy . In April 2019 , Jones went on maternity leave for the second time , giving birth on 13 May to a baby boy . Jones’ maternity leave is being covered again by Angela Scanlon and Michelle Ackerley , and she hopes to return to the show in early 2020 . On 4 December 2019 , Matt Baker announced he will leave the show in Spring 2020 to spend more time with his family , but reassured viewers that he will continue to work with the BBC . Matt Baker left on 31 March 2020 , and the BBC confirmed that he would not be replaced , with the programme instead relying on guest hosts to present alongside Jones on a permanent basis . However on 29 April 2021 , it was confirmed that the rotating guest hosts would be replaced by Jermaine Jenas who will host Monday through Wednesday , and Ronan Keating who will host on Thursday and Friday , from the week of 10 May . Both Jenas and Keating had appeared as guest hosts since the latter half of 2020 , with Keating having also co-hosted an episode in 2017 . Production . The pilot show was transmitted from a temporary studio built at The Mailbox complex in Birmingham . It was produced by BBC Birmingham , with production input from various BBC regions . When The One Show returned for a full series , it was moved to BBC Media Village in White City , London , in 2007 . It moved again to Broadcasting House in January 2014 . On 23 February 2011 , the fire alarm at the BBC White City studios went off , causing the programme to be taken off air and the remainder of the show was replaced with a recording of Nigel Slaters Simple Suppers . Ratings . In 2014 , the show was attracting an average daily audience of 5 million viewers . It received its lowest ever audience on Friday 24 June 2011 , with just 1.92 million tuning in ; the reason for this unusually low figure was because the show was unexpectedly moved to BBC Two after a Wimbledon match overran . The trend to a Friday ratings slump coincided with Evans being handed the role of co-host for the pre-weekend edition in early 2011 . The show shed two million viewers for the Friday edition after Evans joined the programme . The show reached a 12-month-high audience on 18 January 2013 of 5.83 million viewers . Popular culture . A popular unofficial companion podcast The The One Show Show launched in 2018 . Presented by writer and comedian Jon Holmes with co-host Marc Haynes and guests , it takes a deep dive into TVs shallowest programme . The weekly show ( in two parts ) analyses The One Show in forensic detail with presenters , segues , film items and studio guests being mined for laughs . A live version of the podcast sold out the London Podcast Festival in 2019 with guest Fi Glover . Other notable guests have included Jane Garvey and Jay Rayner , who resigned from his One Show presenting job on the podcast . Presenters . Guest presenters .

Carol Thatcher . Carol Thatcher did not have her short-term contract as a One Show roving reporter renewed after the BBC refused to accept her apology following an allegedly racist comment made in January 2009 following filming . It was made during a private conversation between her , presenter Adrian Chiles and guest , comedian Jo Brand , but the comment was subsequently reported to BBC staff . Thatcher argued that the comment had been meant in jest , and that she considered the way the incident had been handled to be a breach of trust , for which she expected an apology from the BBC . Jeremy Clarkson . On 30 November 2011 , over 21,000 complaints were received because Jeremy Clarkson made two allegedly offensive comments on the show , one in relation to the recent public sector strikes , and another on suicide . The One Show apologised for the suicide comment . The incident registered 763 complaints to regulator OFCOM , the third highest recorded in 2011 . Jimmy Carr . Two jokes told by comedian Jimmy Carr on 4 November 2015 episode were referred to regulator OFCOM for investigation regarding their potentially discriminatory nature . The jokes were found to be in breach of their broadcasting code , leading the BBC to alter its existing arrangements for ensuring guests do not swear or use offensive language , to also explicitly discourage jokes made at the expense of minorities . Paul OGrady . The BBC received complaints that while being interviewed in January 2014 about the issue of benefit reform , the Labour Party supporter and television presenter Paul OGrady was not adequately challenged on his views , described as forthright in their condemnation of the Channel 4 documentary , Benefits Street . The BBC responded by arguing that a variety of opinions had been heard , and that balance need not be addressed simply through a single programme . Rita Ora . Singer Rita Ora generated hundreds of complaints to the BBC over her choice of clothing for a 5 January 2015 appearance on the show , in which she wore a trouser suit with nothing underneath the jacket , the fit of which exposed her full cleavage . The BBC defended her clothing as being broadly in line with most viewers expectations of a pop stars choice of attire , while also making clear it would have requested a more modest outfit had she consulted with them first .
