December 21st 2024.
The One Show wrapped up its 2024 season on Friday with a grand finale, hosted by the lovely Alex Jones and Lauren Laverne. The star-studded episode featured performances by Tom Grennan, a special appearance by Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke, and hilarious comedy acts by Chris McCausland and Lee Mack. But the highlight of the show was a heartfelt tribute to Chris McCausland, who made history as the first blind contestant to win Strictly Come Dancing. His victory has been widely celebrated, with even the Scottish Parliament recognizing his groundbreaking achievement.
During the show, the hosts also teased the upcoming special, Strictly Come Dancing: 20 Fabulous Years, which is set to air on BBC One and iPlayer on December 21st at 7pm. As the credits rolled, Alex Jones took a moment to express her gratitude to the viewers, saying, "We just wanted to say thank you so much to tonight's guests and to all our guests and contributors who have been a part of the show this year. And a special thanks to everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make this show possible. But the biggest thanks, of course, goes to you at home for watching. We'll see you again on January 6th next year."
Alex Jones has been a part of The One Show family since 2010, and has worked with co-hosts like Matt Baker, Jermaine Jenas, Ronan Keating, and Roman Kemp. The show will be taking a break and is scheduled to return on January 6, 2025. But for those who can't wait, episodes from the 2024 season are available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.
It has been a tumultuous year for the show, with former host Jermaine Jenas being taken off air and ultimately sacked by the BBC. Allegations were made that he had sent unsolicited texts to a female staff member at The One Show. The 41-year-old later apologized for any discomfort he may have caused and denied breaking any laws. But it seems that the show is ready to move forward and make a fresh start in the new year.
