The One Show dropped from BBC schedule as Alex Jones makes announcement
The One Show has been dropped from BBC schedules after it was announced that Alex Jones and Roman Kemp are taking a long break from the hit BBC programme
The One Show is set for a hiatus from BBC schedules due to a significant TV revamp - and it won't be back for a while.
Presenters Alex Jones and Roman Kemp are stepping away from their usual weekday slot at 7pm on BBC One as Wimbledon takes centre stage.
From Monday, June 30, the prestigious tennis event will dominate the main BBC channels, running daily for a fortnight.
Wimbledon coverage will alternate between BBC One and BBC Two, with evening broadcasts on the primary channel at 7pm, usurping The One Show's regular timeslot.
Alex concluded last Friday's episode by announcing: "We are taking a bit of a break for the next four weeks and we'll be back on Monday, 28th July but there's plenty to enjoy like Wimbledon and the Euros," reports Wales Online.
In other changes, EastEnders will temporarily move to BBC Two on June 30 and July 1, featuring consecutive episodes at 7pm and 7.30pm.
Daytime TV is also affected, with Escape To The Country being ousted from its familiar 3pm weekday spot on BBC One to make room for tennis.
On Wednesday, July 2, Wimbledon's evening matches will air on BBC Two, while BBC One airs Match of the Day for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 Group A match between Switzerland and Norway.
This programming overhaul follows closely behind another announcement made on The One Show.
During the June 25 broadcast, Alex Jones, alongside Clara Amfo, welcomed Matt Allwright and Nikki Fox to commemorate Watchdog's 40th anniversary.
In honour of the significant milestone, Matt and Nikki dedicated the show to the programme, reflecting on some of their recent triumphs, which ranged from undercover investigations to major business policy changes and substantial refunds.
As the show concluded, Matt expressed: "Happy birthday Watchdog and everybody who has worked on the show, amazing people. Thank you to everyone who has contacted us over the last 40 years because without you it would not mean a thing."
Nikki chimed in: "We can not do it without your stories."
The television presenter then revealed that the show will be taking a 'break', announcing: "Watch Dog is going to be taking a break over summer and we are back in September so please keep them coming."

EastEnders confirms passion for Callum and Johnny as sparks fly
Sparks fly for Callum Highway (Tony Clay) and Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) in EastEnders next week as one thing leads to another for the two characters after a passionate kiss. This isn't the first time that the BBC One soap has toyed with the idea of a romance involving these two, with Johnny having kissed Callum last year during what proved to be particularly traumatic time for him. Callum, who had been offering support and guidance amid Linda's (Kellie Bright) relapse, pulled away after a moment and reiterated that – despite Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) being behind bars – he is still committed to his husband. Johnny has since embarked on a relationship with Felix Baker (Matthew Morrison), with the pair intent on moving in together during this week's episodes, which came as quite a shock to Callum. Later in the week, Johnny spends some time in Callum's company, which surprises Felix. And it turns out that Felix is right to be concerned as Johnny and Callum subsequently share a kiss. What happens next remains to be seen but what we can tell you is that Felix ultimately finds out about the kiss and leaves boss Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) in the lurch in the aftermath. Cindy is dismayed and thus takes her frustrations out on Johnny and Callum, berating them in a showdown which is witnessed by Lexi Pearce (Isabelle Brown). Confused, Lexi demands answers, with Callum promising his daughter that there is nothing is going on between he and Johnny. Determined to ensure this is actually the case, Callum makes a beeline for the Vic, where he informs Johnny that they can only be friends. However, one thing ultimately leads to another and they share a kiss – before taking things further. They spend the night together. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Afterwards, Callum is riddled with guilt and, feeling like he has betrayed Ben, he tells Johnny they cannot be together. The question is: Is this really the end of the pair's dalliance? Is it just the beginning of something more? Or will Callum reiterate that Ben Mitchell is still his one and only? Ben, as viewers know, was jailed last March, shortly after he was arrested for committing fraud during a trip to the US. He shared a final heart-to-heart with husband Callum while behind bars before being extradited back to America, where he has been serving his sentence. More Trending Callum has visited him on a number of occasions and repeatedly dispelled the prospect of moving on without Ben. But will the connection between he and Johnny be too strong to resist? It has been reported that Ben is set to stage a short comeback later this year with star Max Bowden reprising his iconic role, though the way in which this will come to light remains to be seen. However, it does begs the question of just how will Ben react if he learns about Callum and Johnny's night together?
