Monday night’s episode of The One Show delivered an unexpected twist when host Alex Jones found herself in an on-air gaffe during a candid chat with EastEnders star James Bye. The actor, renowned for his portrayal of Martin Fowler over the past 11 years, recently sat down on the couch to discuss his character’s explosive exit—a dramatic send-off featured in EastEnders’ landmark 40th anniversary live episode.
The segment began with co-host Roman Kemp setting the stage, stating, “Now James the live EastEnders episode didn’t pull any punches…” He then presented viewers with nail-biting footage of Martin’s demise—showing the unforgettable moment when the character met his tragic end beneath a metal beam following the Queen Vic explosion and subsequent cardiac arrest.
