The One Show has been forced to address the recent social distancing complaints over a segment, which occurred on Wednesday's episode. Over the past few weeks, the BBC programme has been questioned over their handling of social distancing on-air.

However, some eagle-eyed viewers questioned why the two women were sitting so close together in the same kitchen. "Shouldn't Sally Phillips and Ronnie Ancona be practicing social distancing on #TheOneShow tonight?" asked one fan.

Towards the end of the interview, Kym clarified their living situation, saying: "You guys have formed a little writing bubble, haven't you?" To which, they answered: "Yeah."

At the end of the episode, Amol again set the record straight as he addressed the complaints. "Just for those wondering, Sally and Ronni have formed a bubble while writing together," he explained.

The term 'bubble' is defined as a group of people with whom you have close physical contact. According to government guidelines, single adults living alone - or single parents whose children are under 18 - can now form a support bubble with one other household. The second household can include people who are shielding and be of any size.

The bubble can now be counted as a single household. They can stay in each other's homes and do not have to socially distance.
