Alex Jones was scolded and forced to apologise for ‘spoiling’ David Tennant’s new series live on The One Show.

The BBC presenter appeared alongside co-host Angelica Bell on Tuesday evening’s instalment. 

David Tennant featured as a guest on the show and discussed his upcoming series, Genius Game, which is set to air tonight (April 30).

‘And now you’re about to front, a brand new game show,’ Angelica commented. 

’11 contestants, all with exceptional qualities, fighting it out for a big prize, a sum of money. Tell us about what your role is.’

David explained: ‘I’m the creator, I didn’t create it, but I’m called the creator.’

The star described how in the show, he was ‘sort of the voice of God’ and added: ‘I kind of appear and give them instructions and tell them things, and make them do things.’ 

‘They’re all very bright and clever,’ David said.

Alex commented: ‘NASA and things?’ 

‘Well, the NASA thing is a bit of a spoiler that,’ the former Doctor Who star revealed.

Alex put her head in her hands and grovelled, ‘Sorry, sorry David!’

He joked back: ‘You’ve watched the first episode clearly, that’s fine.’

‘So there’s a stand up comic, and the crime writer and there’s a forensic scientist and there’s a professional poker player,’ he went on.

Last year, David sent fans wild after it was revealed he was set to host the brand new ITV game show. 

The BAFTA and Emmy award-winning actor will host the upcoming Genius Game –  a reality game show where intellectually and socially-minded brainiacs will face a game of survival. 

‘Well, the NASA thing is a bit of a spoiler that,’ the former Doctor Who star revealed 

Alex put her head in her hands and said, ‘Sorry, sorry David.’ He joked back: ‘You’ve watched the first episode clearly, that’s fine.’

To win, contestants will participate in a host of never before seen games all designed to not only test their intellectual acumen but encourage them to carefully and creatively use the art of manipulation to outfox their opponents and win a cash prize. 

Viewers will see Doctor Who star David take on the role of The Creator in the eight-part series – which originates from South Korea.

He will guide players as they attempt to navigate each uniquely crafted challenge – and deceive and outsmart their opponents. 

Fans of the Scottish star were elated at the news that he was taking on hosting duties. 

‘My favourite reality TV show of all time coming to the UK with David Tennant as the host?’ one fan said on X, formerly Twitter. 

‘Has someone been looking at my Christmas list???’

While another wrote: ‘I can’t argue with that, David Tennant is definitely the best man for the job. I can’t wait to watch this!!’

Both expressing the same sentiments, one person said ‘David Tennant as a game show host?! Sign me up!’ while another added ‘A David Tennant game show? Count me firmly IN.’ 

‘We are so thrilled that David will be guiding the players through the twists and turns of the show,’ said managing director of Remarkable Entertainment Tamara Gilder.

‘There’s nothing quite like Genius Game, it’s smart and funny – just like he is – he’s the perfect frontman.’

The One Show airs weekdays on BBC One from 7pm and is available to stream on iPlayer.
