The One Show in huge shake-up after Queen’s death – but fans say it’s ‘so wrong’

The One Show returned tonight (September 10) to pay a special tribute to Queen Elizabeth II after her death this week.

But fans said it was "so wrong" after noticing the huge change.

Alex Jones teamed up with Gethin Jones to present the show, filled with anecdotes about Her Majesty and surrounded by screens showing photographs of the late monarch.

But that wasn't all that had changed, as the popular studio had completely transformed – switching its iconic green sofas for a set of navy blue ones.

Alex and Gethin looked out onto a sunset high above the city, with a sombre glass coffee table and a red rug in the middle of the set.

The whole studio adopted the colours of the Union Jack, with the presenters and guests all wearing black in line with the 10-day mourning period in place across the country.

That wasn't the only thing that changed, as fans weren't used to seeing the programme air on a Saturday night – and plenty said it was "so wrong".

Taking to Twitter, a horde of viewers aired their thoughts, with one writing: "#TheOneShow on Saturday night! NO! That’s just wrong!"

Another penned: "#TheOneShow and #HouseOfGames are on on a Saturday and I am befuddled!"

As a third echoed: "Not the normal The One Show studio where is it?"

Someone else definitely wasn't keen on the format change, as they moaned: "Just to say the last thing I need right now is #TheOneShow on a Saturday, please stop it."

Others were quick to compliment both Alex and Gethin on their respectful attire in face of the country's recent bereavement, ripples of which are being felt across the world.

One fan wrote: "Alex Jones and her fabulous dress. Just love it!" as another agreed: "Well @GethincJones looks absolute perfection in a suit on #TheOneShow."

Alex took the time during the show to document her own meeting with the Queen, as she confessed: "I couldn't believe it. We were in Windsor Great Park having a walk one Sunday, and suddenly this Land Rover appeared.

"And there she was in the back of the car! Well, I waved, because you do. Her Majesty waved back."
