South Shields comedian Chris Ramsey to guest host BBC's The One Show

Fans of the South Shields comedian are likely to be tuning into BBC One at 7pm to watch as he co-hosts the half hour long magazine-style show discussing current affairs and interviewing fellow guests.

On Wednesday, January 15, Chris announced the news his Instagram page @iamchrisramsey.

He said: “Very much looking forward to guest hosting BBC The One Show this Friday!”

He even digitally placed a photo of himself over Matt Baker’s face, the fellow northerner who he will be replacing for the evening.

Chris added: “I did my ultra sick Photoshop skills on the iPlayer image. Hit me up if you want me to fix any others @bbciplayer, my fees are very reasonable.”

Fans have already been supporting him on social media alongside his Strictly Come Dancing professional partner, Karen Hauer, who commented: “Yes man!”

It was on BBC’s The One Show, back in July 2019, when he first announced that he would be taking part in the dancing competition.

He just missed out on the final at the end of last year, but can he present as well as he danced?

The show description on the BBC website reads: “Alex Jones and Chris Ramsey bring you the stories that matter from across the country” and it will be live on BBC One at 7pm on Thursday, January 17 and will be available on demand on BBC iPlayer soon after.
