BBC The One Show thrown into chaos as Sheridan Smith and Stephen Fry get stuck in lift

The One Show was thrown into chaos when celeb guests Sheridan Smith and Stephen Fry got stuck in a lift.

TV stars Stephen, 66, and Sheridan, 42, were supposed to chat with hosts Ronan Keating and Alex Jones about their latest projects, but instead, they were busy trying to escape from the elevator.

Hosts Alex, 46, and Ronan, 46, had to explain the unusual situation to their viewers. With a chuckle, Alex said: "We are having a night here. Stephen Fry and Sheridan Smith are due on this sofa. Obviously, it's a live programme they are stuck in the lift."

Ronan couldn't help but laugh as Alex continued: "For the time being we will go on to a film." Ronan reassured everyone: "And they're fine! They're absolutely fine. Hopefully, they'll be here before the end of the show."

The show then cut to Spencer Matthews going on a countryside hike. Stephen later made light of the situation, saying: "Santa's sleigh ride got a little stuck. I think the reindeer were drunk."

One viewer found the incident amusing, tweeting: "Omg, The One Show just apologised to viewers that Sheridan Smith and Stephen Fry aren't on the sofa yet because they are stuck in a lift. This is the beginning of a sketch or play if ever I heard one!"

This incident follows after Stephen's recovery from a severe fall where he broke his pelvis, ribs and leg, after falling six feet off the stage after speaking at the CogX Festival in September.

He suffered multiple fractures and needed the controversial painkiller Oxycontin for his recovery. He has since spoken about the accident, revealing the full extent of his injuries.

He explained: "I did my hour after delivering this lecture, turned to go off stage and didn't realise I was walking off a part stage where there was nothing but a six-foot drop onto concrete."

Chatting with Claudia Winkleman on Radio 2, he revealed: "I broke my right leg in a couple of places, my pelvis in four places and a bunch of ribs. I'm now fine. I'm now without a stick. It's been fine so far but I feel slightly self-conscious without the stick.

"The cane, more than helping me walk, is a flag to everyone around. I live in the centre of London where the pavements are absolutely packed."

He added: "So [this time of year] you get slightly nervous with people stopping to take pictures of lights, or the [pavement] is slightly slippy."

Stephen was treated at Queen Elizabeth Woolwich, where he was offered Oxycontin. He praised: "They were brilliant to me. They are under a huge amount of pressure but they delivered everything I could have possibly wanted."
