Alex and Gethin were back on BBC One this evening as the announced Dermot O’Leary would be on the show to talk about a special project coming up this weekend.
At the start of the latest instalment, the presenters told those watching at home about Captain Tom Moore, who has raised a huge sum of money to support the NHS.
Alex said: “We have to mention the man that’s been in the news today for all the right reasons. Huge, huge congratulations to Captain Tom Moore, gosh, I love him.

Gethin remarked: “I get the feeling it’s not going to stop there either, is it? And as lockdown is extended for at least another three weeks, Captain Tom recorded this message – especially for you.”
