The One Show's Alex Jones says 'we should finish' just minutes in after guest's admission

The One Show host Alex Jones said "we should finish" just minutes into Friday's (May 9) episode after a guest's heartfelt admission.

During today's episode of the hit BBC programme, Alex and her co-star Roman Kemp discussed the latest headlines and spoke to actor Robson Green, TV presenter Dannii Minogue, and boxer Chris Eubank Jr.

At the start of the show, Roman spoke to Newcastle United supporter Robson about his team's Carabao Cup win in March, ending their 70-year wait for domestic silverware.

"Now, Robson, we're going to be talking a great moment in sporting history with Chris later on about the fight, but the moment we want to talk about with you, Newcastle," Roman began.

"70 years without a domestic trophy, a massive moment for you."

Robson then quipped: "You've got to remember, the last time for me Newcastle won a trophy, King Harold still had two eyes, but they did it."

He added: "It wasn't just Wembley, Newcastle rocked it. It was amazing, and with Dan Burn getting that header, it was just fantastic."

Robson then explained that he had a ticket to watch the match live alongside Newcastle legend, Alan Shearer, but he was filming with the BBC at the time.

"What was amazing when we won, I went to ring my dad, and my father died in 2009. I went to ring him, that's what it meant, it was so important, so moving," the actor then revealed.

"That's what it is, that's what football can do," Roman noted, with Robson adding: "One city, one club. That's what we are. It was amazing, and now that emotional valve has been opened up. It was fantastic, very special."

"Gosh, I think we should finish the show there, that was such a nice line," a moved Alex then said, with Dannii adding: "It wiped us out!"

Robson was on the show to talk about his new ITV drama with Jason Watkins, titled The Game, which is described as a "cat and mouse thriller".

The four-part series, which premieres on Monday (May 12), will tell the story of a police detective haunted by one case he failed to solve.

The One Show airs weeknights on BBC One at 7pm
