However this Friday the annual BBC Children in Need show has taken over the slot.

TV presenter Alex Jones announced the change at the end of last night's show, but shared that her and Roman Kemp will be in the studio as two members of the Challenge Squad put on a special performance.

The three hour Children in Need extravaganza boasts comedy sketches, musical talent and surprise guests and is aired to raise funds for the Beeb's charity.

One of the pieces of entertainment audiences will enjoy instead of The One Show is a special episode of Doctor Who starring old favourite David Tennant.

A cast of puppets will also be joining John Torode and Gregg Wallace in the MasterChef kitchen to compete for the title of best cook.

Three pairs of known TV personalities will take each other on in a spoof of Race Across the World, where they must navigate their way across Yorkshire instead.

And the Children in Need official choir will be performing a tear-jerking rendition of You Raise Me Up.

Radio 2's Vernon Kay has also raised a whopping £3million for the BBC charity by taking part in an ultramarathon.

The presenter was challenged to travel from Leicester to Bolton in just four days.

Vernon is completing the last leg of his challenge this morning and he has the full support of the public after running for miles through rain, wind and mist.
