During the May 9 episode of The One Show, an unexpected emotional moment led host Alex Jones to jokingly suggest that the show should just “finish” right then and there. The touching scene unfolded when guest Robson Green shared a deeply personal story that visibly moved everyone on set. On Friday evening, Alex co-hosted the episode alongside Roman Kemp, and the studio welcomed an exciting lineup of guests — including pop star Dannii Minogue, professional boxer Chris Eubank Jr., and beloved actor Robson Green. While the atmosphere started off light and cheerful, Robson’s heartfelt story shifted the tone, prompting Alex to acknowledge how powerful and affecting the moment had become.

At the start of the show, Roman spoke to Newcastle United supporter Robson about his team’s Carabao Cup win against Liverpool at Wembley Stadium in March. The huge moment saw Newcastle United seal their first domestic trophy in 70 years.

“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 said.

“70 years without a domestic trophy, a massive moment for you,” he added.

Robson responded: “You’ve got to remember, the last time for me Newcastle won a trophy, King Harold still had two eyes, but they did it.”

“It wasn’t just Wembley, Newcastle rocked it. It was amazing, and with Dan Burn getting that header, it was just fantastic.”

‘I think we should finish the show there’

Robson recalled having a ticket to watch the match live alongside footie legend Alan Shearer. However, he was unable to attend due to filming with the BBC when it took place.

“What was amazing when we won, I went to ring my dad, and my father d!ed in 2009. I went to ring him, that’s what it meant, it was so important, so moving,” he shared.

Roman insisted that’s “what football can do” before Robson stated: “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.”

Alex was moved by the story and shared: “Gosh, I think we should finish the show there, that was such a nice line.”

Dannii agreed, adding: “It wiped us out!”

The emotional show came following complaints about The One Show‘s tribute to a 100-year-old VE Day veteran. The segment was branded a “disgrace” by many watching at home.
