During Friday’s episode of The One Show, Alex Jones made an unexpected announcement about Elton John.
Just a few minutes into the programme, Alex, who was co-hosting with Clara Amfo, revealed: “So many people have been getting in touch, haven’t they? Including Elton John, who sent us a message thanking fans after his greatest hits album, Diamond, topped the charts a few hours ago.”
Alex then transitioned to a video clip of Elton, who spoke from his home via video link.
He expressed: “Hi Alex, hi Clara and everyone on The One Show. I am so thrilled and excited that Diamonds has finally got to number one in the UK chart.
“It has been eight years, so it has been an amazing start to the year, and I could not be happier.”
“Thank you, everyone,” he concluded before signing off.
“Aw, congratulations,” Clara responded warmly. “Our forever fave, Elton John,” reports Wales Online.

However, this wasn’t the only surprise Alex had in store during the show, as she also invited Lenny Rush onto the sofa to discuss the BAFTAs.
The actor revealed which celebrity would be honoured with this year’s BAFTA’s fellowship.
He stated: “It is the greatest honour BAFTA can give to the greatest people.”

When asked who had won the award this year, Lenny confirmed: “This year, the winner is Warwick Davis.”
As he announced the Harry Potter star’s name, Warwick walked in to the studio to chat about what the award meant to him.
When asked by Clara if the award was one of the “biggest” moments of his career,” he replied: “Absolutely. I have done a lot of amazing things in my career, but this has got to top them all, it is amazing. I am really honoured.”
Before the show had even aired, The One Show’s social media accounts also teased the programme’s upcoming “exclusive announcement”.
On X, they wrote: “Get ready for an exclusive announcement on tonight’s #TheOneShow!
“We’ll be revealing the recipient of the prestigious @BAFTA Fellowship award for this year – and they’ll be joining us on the sofa.”
The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.
