The One Show's Alex Jones makes huge show announcement minutes into episode
The One Show presenter Alex Jones has confirmed a huge first for the BBC series for 2025 this week.
Minutes into Monday evening’s episode, Alex and her co-presenter Lauren Laverne briefly paused the show to make an announcement.
“Of course, we do love hearing from you,” she said. “Now then, news. We have something new for 2025.”
Lauren rubbed her hands excitedly as a phone number and QR code popped up on the screen.
“You can now send us a message on using our new WhatsApp number,” Alex confirmed. The number is 0330 123 1 700.
“Or you scan, see that QR code there? Scan that,” she added. “Remember to include your name with your message, or you can still contact us in all the usual ways.”

Lauren chimed in: “Love that. No excuse not to talk to us, come on!”
This Monday’s episode kicked off both the week and the new year with an exciting array of special guests.
Following her dynamic performance on The Masked Singer, Dame Prue Leith dropped in to chat about her experience along with the show’s host Joel Dommett.
Alex and Lauren also spoke to actor Mark Williams, who’s perhaps best known for portraying 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.
