Alex Jones, 43, was joined on The One Show with her co-host Michael Ball, 58. The pair chatted with the 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown presenter Jimmy Carr, 47, after they shared a segment on cockerels.
Speaking via video link, the comedian complimented the presenting duo, admitting: “Now my friends, that is some classic One Show right there.”

Michael commented: “It gets better as well because you saw that there was an Erica, Bobby, Jasper but no Jimmy until now.
