The One Show dropped from BBC schedule as Alex Jones makes announcement

The One Show is set for a hiatus from BBC schedules due to a significant TV revamp - and it won't be back for a while.

Presenters Alex Jones and Roman Kemp are stepping away from their usual weekday slot at 7pm on BBC One as Wimbledon takes centre stage.

From Monday, June 30, the prestigious tennis event will dominate the main BBC channels, running daily for a fortnight.

Wimbledon coverage will alternate between BBC One and BBC Two, with evening broadcasts on the primary channel at 7pm, usurping The One Show's regular timeslot.

Alex concluded last Friday's episode by announcing: "We are taking a bit of a break for the next four weeks and we'll be back on Monday, 28th July but there's plenty to enjoy like Wimbledon and the Euros," reports Wales Online.

In other changes, EastEnders will temporarily move to BBC Two on June 30 and July 1, featuring consecutive episodes at 7pm and 7.30pm.

Daytime TV is also affected, with Escape To The Country being ousted from its familiar 3pm weekday spot on BBC One to make room for tennis.

On Wednesday, July 2, Wimbledon's evening matches will air on BBC Two, while BBC One airs Match of the Day for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 Group A match between Switzerland and Norway.

This programming overhaul follows closely behind another announcement made on The One Show.

During the June 25 broadcast, Alex Jones, alongside Clara Amfo, welcomed Matt Allwright and Nikki Fox to commemorate Watchdog's 40th anniversary.

In honour of the significant milestone, Matt and Nikki dedicated the show to the programme, reflecting on some of their recent triumphs, which ranged from undercover investigations to major business policy changes and substantial refunds.

As the show concluded, Matt expressed: "Happy birthday Watchdog and everybody who has worked on the show, amazing people. Thank you to everyone who has contacted us over the last 40 years because without you it would not mean a thing."

Nikki chimed in: "We can not do it without your stories."

The television presenter then revealed that the show will be taking a 'break', announcing: "Watch Dog is going to be taking a break over summer and we are back in September so please keep them coming."
