BBC The One Show's Alex Jones called out by A-list guest for 'spoiling' new series

The One Show's Alex Jones found herself saying sorry after letting a 'spoiler' slip during what turned out to be quite the awkward moment on air.

During Tuesday's (29th April) episode of the hit show, Alex, alongside co-presenter Angelica Bell, welcomed guests to the set. Scottish actor David Tennant was there to chat about his new game show, Genius Game.

But the interview barely started before David spotted a blunder by Alex. While chatting about possible content on his show, David remarked: "Well I'm the creator, which I didn't create it, but I'm called the creator. I am sort of the voice of God, I kind of appear and give them instructions, tell them what to do and make them do things."

David went on, saying: "They are all very bright and clever..." That's when Alex interjected with an enquiry: "NASA and things?"

Turns out Alex jumped the gun on part of the game show not yet public knowledge, leading David to clarify: "Well the NASA thing is a bit of a gag, bit of a spoiler really", reports .

Poor Alex immediately reacted by covering her face with her hands, apologising, "Oh sorry. Sorry David." In support, Angelica wrapped an arm around Alex, echoing, "Sorry, sorry."

The crew couldn't help but chuckle as David reassured everyone: "You've watched the first episode clearly. That's fine, it's fine."

After two consecutive years of hosting the BAFTAs, everyone's favourite , David, steps into the role of The Creator in a new series. He will oversee "strategically minded" contestants as they face the "ultimate battle of survival".

The eight-part series features 11 players chosen for their intellectual prowess and social IQ.

To win a life-changing cash prize, they'll participate in a series of unique games designed to test their intellectual acumen and encourage them to use manipulation to outsmart their opponents.

As The Creator, Tennant's role is to guide them through these mind-boggling challenges.

According to an official teaser from , the first episode introduces us to a 'Main Match', where the players are up for the 'Gold Heist'. They'll need to work together if they want to stay in the running for glory.

If they successfully complete this heist, they receive a 'Token of Life' which allows them to be saved and save someone else. The loser, however, has to take part in the 'Death Match' with another player of their choosing.

Whoever comes second in that match... well, it's game over.

The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer
