The news comes over a year after Matt Baker, who hosted the BBC evening show alongside Alex for nine years, made his departure in order to spend more time with his family.

Both Jermaine and Ronan will continue with their existing commitments alongside their roles on the programme. Members of The One Show's extended family of presenters, including Amol Rajan and Alex Scott, will continue to co-host episodes across the year.
Alex, who has presented The One Show since 2010, has shared her excitement over the news, saying: "Presenting The One Show is such a special privilege, especially in the last year - I am proud of the role we’ve played in keeping the nation company through these difficult times.
