The One Show has an exciting few months ahead. The show is all set to get extended and will welcome some new guest presenters for the summer. The series, which usually runs at 30 minutes, will include an hour long show every week from September to the end of the year.

The 60-minute shows will include a raft of new features, celebrating lives, landscapes and stories from all around the UK.

The One Show’s presenters Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles will be taking a well-deserved fortnight’s holiday in August (possibly together…..who knows?) and the Channel has lined up some guest presenters to take the helm.

Gloria Hunniford and Gethin Jones take the helm from Monday 17 August to Friday 21 August. They will be followed by everyone’s favourite dancer John Sergeant who will join forces with Myleene Klass, from Monday 24 August to Friday 28 August.

Executive Producer of The One Show Tessa Finch says: “We’re delighted to welcome four One Show favourites to stand in for Christine and Adrian while they’re on holiday.

“The One Show has had a great summer and is gearing up for the autumn season with a brilliant line up of stories from all around the UK and some extremely exciting projects for viewers to get involved with. The new hour long programmes are a great vote of confidence from the audience and the Channel. Everyone on The One Show is looking forward to the challenge. We’ll be remaining true to The One Show’s commitment to intelligent fun.”
