The One Show suffered a major technical blunder on Friday evening as singer Shakira chatted virtually to hosts Ronan Keating and Alex Jones live on air.
The Columbian singer’s camera first froze during her intro to the BBC show, where she was due to speak alongside DJ Mark Ronson.
Welsh presenter Alex was talking about the upcoming Olympic games during the first segment of the show and then asked for the stars’ thoughts.
Alex asked: “Mark, racewalking, would that be for you?”
The DJ replied: “I’ve heard of it, your feet aren’t allowed to fully leave the ground – that’s the rules I believe.
“I think that is right up my street, that’s my speed.”
Ronan then quizzed the singer on her choice of sport and said: “Shakira, what would your Olympic sport be?”
Shakira then didn’t respond as her camera froze, leaving fans watching at home who were eager to her speak annoyed.
Alex then filled the gap by saying: “Oh I thought she was just looking gorgeous, but she’s frozen.”

The third guest on the show actor Alan Davies then comically added “it’s like Tracy Island” in reference to the Thunderbird puppets.
The hosts tried to avoid any more awkwardness by cutting away and talking to the other guests on the programme.
The cast finally got hold of Shakira at the end of the show, after showing her new video ‘Don’t Wake Up’.
