It’s the early evening programme that’s been going for 15 years – yet the BBC favourite has seen some surprisingly controversial moments.
The One Show first hit the box this week in 2006 and since then has been hosted by stars including Alex Jones, Christine Bleakley, Adrian Chiles, Matt Baker and Chris Evans.
Here Daily Star has taken a look back at 15 of its most eyebrow-raising episode…
