The One Show has been scrapped form BBC One this evening in a schedule shake-up following the resignation of British Prime Minister, Liz Truss.
Earlier today, Truss announced her shocking resignation outside Number 10 after just 44 days in office.
The news follows her disastrous short term, which has included crashing the economy and the departure of both her Chancellor of the Exchequer and Home Secretary.

Regular programming has since been rescheduled to focus on the speech and continuing coverage of the news.
Hosts Alex Jones and Boyzone star Ronan Keating were at the helm welcoming guests Alfie Boe and Michael Ball
Alex Jones left viewers confused when she made a hilarious gaffe during tonight’s airing.
When welcoming viewers to the show, she acknowledged the schedule shake-up before telling guests she hopes they could distract them from all the political news for “the next hour and a half.”
Baffled viewers wondered if they show had been extended beyond it’s normal 30 minute airing time.

“did she just say the show is on for an hour and a half tonight??” asked one viewer.
But just a few minutes later Alex clarified the error, telling viewers she has just been informed that she said an hour and a half, and she “meant to say half an hour” before apoligizing to viewers.
It has now been announced scheduling shake-ups continue into the evening, with BBC confirming Question Time will be aired at 8pm, brought forward from its usual time of 10.40pm.

The shake-up comes amid the BBC’s 100-year celebration, in which a packed schedule of special events are taking place from shows including Doctor Who, The Repair Shop and Strictly Come Dancing.
