The One Show has been pulled off-air in a major schedule shake-up hitting screens tonight – to make way for a temporary replacement.
The popular chat show normally airs every weekday at 7pm on BBC One.
But fans hoping to get their fix today will be disappointed as it is cancelled to make way for extra coverage of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show.
The show’s normal 30-minute slot at 7pm will instead be filled by an episode of Helen Skelton’s documentary series Lost And Found In The Lakes.
It sees the presenter team up with a crew of divers and detectorists to find beloved possessions people once lost in the beautiful Lake District and thought were gone forever.
This will be followed by a 30-minute Chelsea Flower Show special, hosted by Sophie Raworth and Gardeners’ World’s Adam Frost – joined by special guest Dame Mary Berry.

The coverage of the garden design event – on show in London’s Chelsea area from May 20 to May 24 – will then continue on BBC Two at 8pm.
There, Gardeners’ World colleagues Monty Don, Rachel de Thame and Arit Anderson will take over to provide analysis of the garden that wins the BBC RHS People’s Choice Award.
Co-presenters of yesterday’s episode Angellica Bell and Roman Kemp confirmed the schedule shake-up at the end of last night’s show.
Angellica, standing in for Alex Jones, said: ‘We’re not on tomorrow as we’re making way for The Chelsea Flower Show.’
Angellica has been leading the BBC’s coverage of The Chelsea Flower Show this week, along with Nicki Chapman.
Roman added: ‘And if you’re looking for great live music, don’t miss Radio 1’s Big Weekend, which kicks off in Liverpool tomorrow with non-stop coverage on BBC Radio 1, BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer.’
The Chelsea Flower Show has been held in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London every year since 1913 – apart from between the two World Wars and in 2020.
The prestigious event is one of the highlights of the international gardening calendar, where nurseries unveil new plants, garden designers exhibit their best work and fashion brands and manufacturers launch new products.

Organised by gardening charity RHS, it gives visitors a chance to find inspiration for their own gardens – as well as enjoy one of the many fine dining options on offer.
Roman also informed viewers, at the end of last night’s episode of The One Show, the schedule would be different when it returns this coming Monday too.
The presenter explained: ‘I’ll be back on Monday at the slightly earlier time of 6.30pm.
‘We’ve got some great guests next week, including John Legend, Carey Mulligan and Lionel Richie. What a show.’
Elsewhere in last night’s episode, Angellica was on the verge of tears during the show’s weekly One Big Thank You segment, which honours someone who always goes the extra mile.
Charity worker Carole Hughes from Stamford, Lincolnshire, who lost her three-year-old daughter Anna to a brain tumour, was the focus of this week’s efforts.
The bereaved mother and her husband Rob created the charity Anna’s Hope just six weeks after they lost their daughter.
It raises money for occupational, physical and speech and language therapies for children with brain tumours.
It comes after The One Show (pictured earlier this week) underwent a last-minute line-up change as one of its main stars was forced to pull out due to illness

Angellica was joined by actress Joanna Lumley to surprise Carole on the show for all her hard work – by naming a flower after Anna at The Chelsea Flower Show.
It comes after The One Show underwent a last-minute line-up change as one of its main stars was forced to pull out due to illness.
Alex Jones and JB Gill confirmed the news while hosting Wednesday’s instalment of the BBC chat show.
Opening the show, Alex confirmed Watchdog presenter Nikki Fox had to pull out of the programme at the last minute due to illness.
But she confirmed Angellica had dashed over to stand in for her amid the unexpected line-up change.
Alex announced: ‘Now, unfortunately, poor Nikki is unwell, but Angellica is here to save the day. She’s raced all the way over from the Chelsea Flower Show.’
Angellica then sent her co-star well wishes as she added: ‘That’s right, get well soon Nikki.’
As well as the watchdog segment hosted by Angellica, the show also included chats with Timothy Spall, Jason Isaacs and Raynor Winn.
The One Show is available to watch on weekdays at 7pm on BBC One and to stream on iPlayer.
