BBC’s The One Show let rip on PM hopeful Liz Truss after she cancelled and interview at the last minute leaving them with an empty slot.
Host Ronan Keating and Alex Jones were on hand to host the magazine-style chat show when they welcomed journalist Nick Robinson on as a guest, before telling fans he was supposed to be interviewing Truss in this exact time slot but that she has bailed on the interview.
Nick started his comments by sharing that he hadn’t bothered to shave because “if he had been interviewing a candidate for Prime Minister then maybe the beard would have gone.”

Ales Jones said: “We’re here one BBC One it should have been you interviewing Liz Truss to tell us what’s happened.”
“Well, the real answer you’ve already given she decided to do it and then at the last minute she cancelled.
“We thought it would be good to do a long interview and ask questions that viewers of the one show can get answers too.

“They eventually agreed in writing and we put it in the TV listing and you might have seen it in your paper or in radio times and then just a few days ago we were told that she was too busy,” said Nick.
He went on to say that this would have been a good opportunity for her to connect with the public outside of the safety of her own orchestrated media appearances and campaign videos.

“People are desperately worried. They want to know the answers from someone who might be our new prime minister is just a weeks time will actually do for them”
He went on to say that he was not looking for a “gotcha moment” but wanted her to answer questions that viewers want to know.
Viewers agreed, with one saying: “Interesting that BBC didn’t just have a verbal agreement from Truss that she’d do the interview she’s reneged on but they had it in writing. And this is the woman responsible for doing trade deals. #Truss #TheOneShow.”
Another said: #TheOneShow currently trolling Liz Truss I’m dead.”
A third said: “Because of Truss’s cowardice we have an unscheduled #TheOneShow tonight at 7pm. But might be worth a dekko because they’ve invited Nick Robinson on to give his views on the cancelled interview. #ToryLeadershipFarce #Truss”
The One Show returns to BBC One on August 22 at 7pm
