BBC show cancelled TONIGHT in schedule shake-up as Helen Skelton lands TV special amid Gethin Jones romance rumours
A POPULAR BBC show has been pulled off the air tonight as part of a schedule shake-up.
Fans hoping to tune into The One Show will be left bitterly disappointed as the magazine show has been taken off-screens this evening.
The show, hosted by Alex Jones and Roman Kemp, will not air today after being given the boot from its usual 7pm timeslot on BBC One.
The BBC will instead be broadcasting a special documentary starring Helen Skelton followed by coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show.
Helen’s Lost and Found in the Lakes will air in The One Show’s slot followed by a 30-minute special from the Chelsea Flower Show.
Coverage of the flower show will then continue on BBC Two at 8pm.
Sophie Raworth and Adam Frost will be heading up the coverage as the week-long event draws to a close.
Last night, hosts Angellica Bell and Roman addressed the shake-ups as they confirmed that with many special events taking place on Friday, the BBC had shuffled around their programmes to accommodate them.
CBB star Angellica said: “We’re not on tomorrow as we’re making way for The Chelsea Flower Show.”
As Roman added: “And if you’re looking for great live music, don’t miss Radio 1’s Big Weekend, which kicks off in Liverpool tomorrow with non-stop coverage on BBC Radio 1, BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer.”
He also confirmed that Monday’s edition of The One Show would be subject to a shake-up as it has been brought forward to air at 6:30pm instead of 7pm.
Instead of The One Show, viewers of the Beeb will get to see Helen Skelton on air in her documentary in the Lake District.
The airing of the show comes amid romance rumours for the TV star after insiders reported she had grown close to her Morning Live co-star Gethin Jones.
Helen was snapped with her arms around Gethin’s waist as she rode his motorcycle on the way to a breakfast date in Manchester city centre yesterday morning.
Fans have been speculating the pair are more than just friends recently and an insider claimed sparks are flying behind the scenes.
Gethin added to the rumours recently when he called Helen “superwoman” in an Instagram post following their 24 hour non-stop roller-skating marathon for Comic Relief.
It is understood the pair have been spending an increasing amount of time together outside of the studio.
A source told MailOnline: “Helen and Gethin have an extremely close working relationship and there’s a feeling in recent months their friendship has blossomed into a deeper connection.
“They’re both keen to keep a lid on it to avoid public scrutiny but there’s no denying their closeness both on and off screen.”
