Sheridan Smith and Stephen Fry get trapped in lift minutes before One Show appearance

The One Show guests Sheridan Smith and Stephen Fry were stuck in lift moments before their appearance on the broadcast (13 December).

Hosts Alex Jones and Ronan Keating, both 46, were forced to improvise when told midway through the show that the pair were unable to make their timeslot on the sofa.

“Now then, we are having a night here because Stephen Fry, 66, and Sheridan Smith, 42, are due on this sofa. Obviously, it’s a live program, they are stuck in the lift,” Jones said,

All four struggled to contain their laughter when Smith and Fry finally joined the hosts roughly five minutes after their scheduled appearance.
