The One Show's host, Alex Jones, has revealed a massive first for the BBC series set for 2025 this week.

Just minutes into Monday evening's episode, Alex and her co-host Lauren Laverne took a brief pause from the show to make an announcement.

"Of course, we do love hearing from you," she expressed. "Now then, news. We have something new for 2025."

Lauren excitedly rubbed her hands together as a phone number and QR code appeared on the screen.

"You can now send us a message using our new WhatsApp number," Alex confirmed. The number is 0330 123 1 700, reports Wales Online.

"Or you scan, see that QR code there? Scan that," she continued. "Remember to include your name with your message, or you can still contact us in all the usual ways."

Lauren added: "Love that. No excuse not to talk to us, come on!"

This Monday's episode started both the week and the new year with an exciting line-up of special guests.

Following her energetic performance on The Masked Singer, Dame Prue Leith dropped by to chat about her experience along with the show's host Joel Dommett.

Alex and Lauren also had a chat with actor Mark Williams, who's perhaps most recognised for his role as Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter films.

He has since taken on the role of Father Brown, which will be returning for its 12th season on Friday.

Lastly, adventurer Ben Fogle was in the studio to discuss his latest expeditions in New Lives in the Wild.

The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
