The One Show's Alex Jones red-faced as she calls TV legend by wrong name

Alex Jones didn't get off to the best start when she opened The One Show on Tuesday evening - and got the name of a star guest wrong

The One Show co-host Alex Jones was left a tad embarrassed when she opened Tuesday's episode - and got the name of a much-loved TV star wrong.

Launching the proceedings, the Welsh presenter said: "Hello there and welcome to your Tuesday One Show with Alex Scott..."

As he co-star continued saying: "And Alex Jones. Well we've got a busy show tonight full of exciting exclusives and, of course, lots of heart."

After handing back to her fellow host, Alex Jones continued: "That is right. Amanda Hart..." she trailled off before immediately correcting herself saying: "Amanda Hart? Miranda Hart joins us! She will be revealing why we haven't seen her on our screens for a while and she'll be sharing some very good news."

Later on, when Miranda took to the sofa, Alex made sure she didn't get her name wrong a second time when she introduced the comedy star saying: "Now time to welcome our first guest, a much-loved writer, comedian and actor and we haven't seen her on our screens for a while so I'm very pleased to say that Miranda Hart joins us now. Or Amanda Hart... what's wrong with me?"

But Miranda saw the funny side saying: "Amanda... Alan, it's lovely to see you again!" Alex replied: "It's been so long we've missed you so much," to which Miranda retored: "So long you've forgotten my name!" Before adding: "I'll forgive you."

During her time on the show, Miranda told fans that "there is always hope" as she confirmed that she secretly got married following a ‘tough year’.

The star, who was on the show to promote her new book titled I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, explained that fans can get an insight into her private life as she spoke about her mystery new husband and health battle.

She revealed that 'someone's put a ring on it' and confirmed that she met 'my person' at the age of 49.

The One Show is on BBC One on weekdays at 7pm and on BBC iPlayer
