The first of two special The One Shows aired this evening, with the programme being given a radical royal face-lift for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Fans were thrilled with the new look programme which featured footage and photos of Queen Elizabeth II.
Spirits were high both in and out of the studio. The One Show co-presenter Jermaine Jenas, 39, could barely conceal his excitement. Speaking at the Queen Victoria memorial just outside Buckingham Palace, Jenas said: "I'll be bringing you one of the big highlights, the lighting of this principal beacon right here at Buckingham Palace by a member of the Royal Family.
When asked by co-host Ronan Keating about who else will be there, Jenas replied: "I'm very excited about this one Ronan, because I'm going to be joined by the brilliant Gregory Porter. He will give a very special performance just as the beacons are going to be lit."
