Strictly star Joe Sugg made his presenting debut on The One Show on Friday night, and even deftly dealt with a suggestion of his future engagement to Dianne Buswell during the episode. Guest Matthew Morrison explained the romantic story behind his own engagement, and after hearing the star-studded tale - which involved Elton John making the announcement and a serenading song from Chris Martin - Alex said: "You and Dianne now, you need to go. You need to aim for Coldplay," with Matthew adding: "No pressure." Joe simply joked: "Set the bar there!"
