The One Show chaos as Sheridan Smith and Stephen Fry trapped in lift mid-show
The One Show was plunged into chaos when celebrity guests Sheridan Smith and Stephen Fry got stuck in the lift.
TV stars Stephen and Sheridan were meant to appear on the show with hosts Ronan Keating and Alex Jones to discuss their projects but weren't able to be on the sofa as they were too busy trying to get out of a lift. Viewers were confused when the hosts shared video clips instead of welcoming their guests.
Alex and Ronan eventually explained why their guests weren't with them on set. Seeing the funny side of things, Alex told viewers at home: "We are having a night here. Stephen Fry and Sheridan Smith are due on this sofa. Obviously, it’s a live programme – they are stuck in the lift."
Ronan couldn't hold in the laughter as Alex added: "For the time being we will go on to a film." Singer Ronan said: "And they’re fine! They’re absolutely fine. Hopefully, they’ll be here before the end of the show." They cut to Spencer Matthews going on a hike in the countryside.

Stephen joked: "Santa’s sleigh ride got a little stuck. I think the reindeer were drunk." Joking about the incident, one viewer tweeted: "Omg, The One Show just apologised to viewers that Sheridan Smith and Stephen Fry aren't on the sofa yet because they are stuck in a lift. This is the beginning of a sketch or play if ever I heard one!"

It comes after Stephen spent months recovering from a broken pelvis, ribs and leg. The 66-year-old star suffered the horror fall as he walked off the stage at the O2 Arena. He had been speaking at the £495-a-ticket CogX Festival in September when he fell six feet off the stage onto the floor.
Stephen broke multiple bones and needed the controversial painkiller Oxycontin to recover. He has since opened up on the nasty accident where he revealed the full extent of his injuries. Stephen said: "I did my hour after delivering this lecture, turned to go off stage and didn't realise I was walking off a part stage where there was nothing but a six-foot drop onto concrete."
He told Claudia Winkleman on Radio 2: "I broke my right leg in a couple of places, my pelvis in four places and a bunch of ribs. I'm now fine. I'm now without a stick. It's been fine so far but I feel slightly self-conscious without the stick. The cane, more than helping me walk, is a flag to everyone around. I live in the centre of London where the pavements are absolutely packed.
"So [this time of year] you get slightly nervous with people stopping to take pictures of lights, or the [pavement] is slightly slippy." Stephen was treated at Queen Elizabeth Woolwich, where he was offered Oxycontin. He shared: "They were brilliant to me. They are under a huge amount of pressure but they delivered everything I could have possibly wanted."
