The One Show presenter Alex Jones was left red-faced as she was forced to apologise to her guest after dropping a ‘spoiler’ for their new series.

The One Show’s Alex Jones found herself in a sticky spot when she accidently gave away a surprise detail, leading her to make an on-air apology.

In the broadcast on Tuesday (29th April), Alex, alongside fellow host Angelica Bell, welcomed several guests, including David Tennant, who was there to discuss his latest venture, Genius Game.

But mere moments into their chat, David playfully called out Alex for seemingly revealing a ‘spoiler’ about the game show. The actor outlined his role, stating: “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.”

He went on: “They are all very bright and clever…” before Alex hastily chimed in with: “NASA and things?”, reports Wales Online.

This triggered a light-hearted reprimand from David as he disclosed: “Well the NASA thing is a bit of a gag, bit of a spoiler really.”

Mortified, Alex covered her face with her hands, exclaiming: “Oh sorry. Sorry David.” While Angelica consoled her by wrapping her in a hug, echoing: “Sorry, sorry.” Laughter ensued as David quipped: “You’ve watched the first episode clearly. That’s fine, it’s fine.”

Following two consecutive years of hosting the BAFTAs, beloved Doctor Who actor David is set to take on a new role as The Creator in the upcoming game show. He will oversee “strategically minded” contestants as they engage in the “ultimate battle of survival”.

The eight-part series will feature 11 players selected for their intellectual prowess and social IQ. To secure a life-changing cash prize, they must participate in a series of unique games designed to test not only their intellect but also their ability to manipulate their opponents.

In his role as The Creator, Tennant will guide the contestants through these mind-boggling challenges.

According to an official teaser from ITV, the first episode introduces a ‘Main Match’, with the inaugural challenge being a ‘Gold Heist’. Contestants must work together to stay in the running for the grand prize.

Successful completion of the heist earns them a ‘Token of Life’, which can be used to save themselves or another player. The loser, however, must participate in a ‘Death Match’ against a competitor of their choosing.

For the one who comes up short in this match, it’s the end of the line.
