The One Show fans were left seriously distracted by Catherine Zeta-Jones 'unreal' appearance as she shared her fear about working with Joanna Lumley in the Netflix hit Wednesday.
Catherine, 55, who plays Morticia Addams in the supernatural mystery comedy, appeared on Tuesday's instalment of the BBC show to talk about the highly anticipated second series.
Alex Jones, 51, and JB Gill, 38, returned to our screens to interview the actress alongside her co-star Luis Guzman, who plays her husband Gomez Addams in the show.
Catherine looked glamorous in a blue low cut blouse, sparkly green skirt and accessorised with some jewellery.
She styled her dark locks from out of her face and rocked a smokey eye look.
Meanwhile Luis opted for a smart casual black shirt and matching trousers.

Those watching at home were in awe of Catherine's appearance.
One said on X, formerly known as Twitter: 'Catherine Zeta Jones looks unreal.'
'Catherine Zeta Jones is morphing into Morticia Addams.'
'I read people talking about CZJ, but didn't realise she was on the screen until she spoke. #TheOneShow.'
'F**k me I swear she never ages!'
Wednesday fans don't have long to wait until the show returns to the streaming service as it's back on August 6.
Jenna Ortego will be reprising her role as protagonist Wednesday Adams, and she will be joined by Victor Dorobantu as Thing, as well as Uncle Fester star Fred Armisen.
The likes of Isaac Ordonez will be back as Pugsley, but there is one star who is joining the cast as a newbie.
Joanna Lumley has taken on the role of Morticia's mum Grandmama Hester Frump.
Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their amazement over Catherine's appearance
Catherine opened up about what it was like to work with Joanna, who has starred in the likes of Absolutely Fabulous, Motherland, Fool Me Once and Finding Alice.
She told the hosts: 'You have no idea! On an international Dame Joanna is admired, revered. But for me, being a Brit being a Welsh girl like you Alex,for me it was like, my Queen.
'I'd never met her, I'd never worked with her, and there was a time where I thought, "Maybe I shouldn't".
'Because I'd be devastated if she's not the kind of woman or artist you know, sharing as an actor. She was everything and more.'
Catherine added: 'So, now we have my character Morticia, and we have this fantastic relationship between Wednesday and the matriarch.
'Now comes Joanna's character, Grandma Frump, and we have that dynamic. We have this triangle of three generations of kooky, crazy, wonderful women, and it was a treat.'
On Tuesday Netflix gave Wednesday fans a first look at Billie Piper in her new role on the show, in which she will star alongside Jenna Ortega.
The gothic comedy, which follows the antics of Wednesday Addams (played by Ortega), debuted on the streaming service in November 2022. It was quickly renewed for a second series in January 2023.
Now, Netflix has unveiled Billie, 42, as Isadora Capri - a captivating new character at Nevermore Academy, where she serves as the school's head of music.
Described as a former child prodigy, Isadora is brilliant, intense, and enigmatic. She takes a special interest in Wednesday's musical talents and also mentors fellow werewolf Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers).
Billie's casting adds an intriguing layer to the series, given her background in supernatural and gothic roles, notably as Brona Croft / The Bride of Frankenstein in Penny Dreadful.
The new images come after Netflix revealed the future of Wednesday beyond the upcoming series two, and fans of the chart-topping show are all saying the same thing.
The One Show airs on BBC One from 7pm and is available to stream on iPlayer.

'And Just Like That ...' to end after third season

And just like that, a universe of fun, friendship and fashion is coming to an end. Michael Patrick King, showrunner of the 'Sex and the City' sequel 'And Just Like That ...,' announced on Instagram that the series will end after the third season concludes. Fans have a two-part finale to savor later this month. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years,' he wrote. King said he decided to wrap things up while writing the season's final episode. He then split the finale into two episodes. The last episode will drop Aug. 14. In a long, heartfelt Instagram post of her own, Sarah Jessica Parker, who played the iconic Carrie Bradshaw character in both series, called the sequel 'all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent.' She included a montage of Carrie's fashion and moments. Parker added: 'I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all. I love you so.' Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon returned for the sequel. Largely absent was Kim Cattrall and her Samantha Jones, though Cattrall did make a brief, uncredited cameo in the Season 2 finale. Samantha's absence was explained as a move to London. Reports of pay and personal disputes bubbled over behind the scenes. The original series ran from 1998 to 2004, taking pop culture by storm with the style and drama of the 30-something friends in New York City. They shopped. They brunched. They dated, leaning on each other as Parker's Carrie, a writer, chronicled it all. The sequel picks up their lives in their mid-50s, to mixed reviews. Carrie became a widow. Nixon's Miranda Hobbes came out as queer. Davis' Charlotte York Goldenblatt copes with husband Harry's prostate cancer diagnosis. Fashion remains ever-present, including all those iconic heels still clacking through New York's brownstone-lined streets. In her farewell post, Parker wrote of her stylish Carrie that she, 'Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City.' She called Carrie 'my professional heartbeat for 27 years.'

Mrs Brown's Boys viewers left in utter disbelief as controversial show returns to BBC

Fans have reacted sharply to the return of Mrs Brown's Boys, with many on social media branding it unfunny and questioning why it was ever commissioned BBC sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys returned to screens tonight for the start of its fifth full-length series, despite enduring a turbulent few years marked by falling ratings and a high-profile racism controversy involving its creator and star, Brendan O'Carroll. ‌ First aired in 2011, the comedy became a holiday fixture and enjoyed huge popularity in its early years. Its 2013 Christmas Day special drew 11.52 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched festive programmes of the decade. ‌ However, viewership has steadily declined. The show last appeared in the top ten on Christmas Day in 2020, attracting 3.8 million viewers. It comes after Brendan, 69, finally announced the future of Mrs Brown to fans. ‌ The series has long divided audiences and critics, and was recently labelled the 'worst ever BBC show' by some viewers on social media. Comments on X during tonight's broadcast included: 'Worst programme in human history should've never been commissioned' and 'Just speechless… I honestly don't know one person who thinks this show is remotely funny.' Another insisted: "This show needs to be axed asap. It's not one bit funny." Someone else fumed: "I actually hate this show with a passion and I'm Irish and from Dublin and I GET that kind of sense of humour." ‌ In 2023, Mrs Brown's Boys faced further scrutiny after O'Carroll made a racial slur during rehearsals for the Christmas special. Crew members were reportedly 'shocked' by the remark and lodged complaints with BBC bosses. The broadcaster suspended production and launched an investigation. O'Carroll later apologised, expressing 'deep regret' over what he called a 'clumsy attempt at a joke.' ‌ Speaking publicly about the incident for the first time on Irish YouTube programme Conversations With Gerry Kelly, O'Carroll claimed his words had been 'completely taken out of context.' He also argued that the episode ultimately had a positive impact. ‌ 'The one thing that that incident did is give great awareness about racism, and great awareness about the BBC, they don't take any messing… However, I think in the long run it was a good thing, because it got people talking about it.' O'Carroll, who has won the National Television Award for Best Comedy six times for Mrs Brown's Boys, has made it clear he is unfazed by negative feedback. 'The ones that love me, I love them, and the ones that don't, f*** them,' he told Kelly, adding that those who dislike the show should simply 'pick up the remote and change the station.' ‌ Despite its dwindling audience, the series maintains a loyal fan base and continues to be a fixture in the BBC's comedy line-up. The new series, which began tonight, marks a fresh chapter for the show as it seeks to recapture some of its former success in the face of ongoing criticism.

Love Island's Jamie questions why Yas is ‘obsessed' with villa boy as he makes surprise discovery

LOVE Island's Jamie has questioned why Yas is "obsessed" with a villa boy after he made a surprise discovery. During the latest episode of the ITV2 reality show, the Islanders were tasked with answering questions and sharing their opinions on their co-stars. 4 4 4 But one question caused a lot of tension as the girls were asked who their man would couple up with - if their partners weren't there. Yasmin misunderstood the question and thought it was about who she would pick and she wrote Dejon on her board. Later she confessed this to a bewildered Jamie who became clearly upset. In tonight's episode Jamie sat with a couple of the boys and said: "This doesn't go outside of misinterpreted the question and she said Dejon." He continued: "I am a little caught of guard because she is acting like she hates him. "Even in the challenge the other day always oh Meg and Dejon, Meg and Dejon. "Why is she obsessed with him bro? Know what I mean. "Like that is weird." Fans of the show were quick to comment and one wrote: "Yasmin & Jamie I'm gonna need you to just hold it together!! The final is on Monday." Another added: "I completely understand Jamie's confusion, but I think him and Yas just need to have another conversation and it'll all get worked out." Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's 'strongest couple' as they head for a split just days before final "Yas and Jamie need to sort it out asap! stressing me out," said another fan. Tempers also flared when the Islanders were asked"Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?" Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon and Meg said to Shakira, 'I think if people were honest in the first place. "And told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story.' An emotional Shakira became annoyed at Meg and accused her of being fake and acting like they are mates. She said: "I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' Meg replied: 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake.' Shakira then told her she will never pretend to be her mate. Meg interrupted: 'You won't be my friend on the outside.' Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.'
