Who is on The One Show tonight?
Hillary Clinton
Former Democrat US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, 69, is tonight's guest on The One Show.
After first being known as the wife of President Bill Clinton and America's First Lady from 1993-2001, Hillary was beaten 304 votes to 227 by Donald Trump, 71, after her own campaign in November 2016.
Hillary and her supporters may have been shocked by the result but she remains a controversial figure in the States.
Most recently the way she responded to the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault allegations was attacked by critics - despite her pledge to donate all the money she had received from the film producer to a women's charity.
The Chicago native and Yale graduate acted as Secretary of State until 2013 under Barack Obama, and ordered military intervention in Libya during that time.
But her Presidential campaign was dogged by reports about her private email use in the State Department and by her husband's own sexual assault history, and after losing to Trump has vowed to become an "activist citizen".
Her celebrity supporters in the Presidential race included Katy Perry, Amy Schumer, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Meryl Streep.
Ruth Goodman
Also on the programme this evening is historian Ruth Goodman.
You may recognise the 54-year-old, who is particularly clued-up on the Tudors and Victorians, from her stint on Celebrity Masterchef in 2011.
She has also featured on the BBC shows luke Wartime Farm, Victorian Pharmacy, Tudor Monastery Farm and How Railways Made Britain.
The Cardiff native is on the programme to discuss how a piece of suffragette history has been rediscovered.
Who is presenting The One Show tonight?
Show regulars Amol Rajan and Alex Jones will front tonight's episode of The One Show.
Amol made his name as a food critic and newspaper editor, while Alex started out as a TV researcher before bagging the prestigious BBC gig.
After offending Tim Minchin with a comment about his hair-washing this week, let's hope Amol is on his best behaviour this evening.
