Mel B tries to leave The One Show early after 'rotten interview' jibe

Viewers of The One Show took to social media to slam the latest episode, hailing it a “car crash”, while calling out host Alex Jones for “losing control”.

The episode, which was aired on Thursday 24th November, featured an interview with Emily Atack, Mel B and Ruby Wax, who were all on the show to promote their new TV series, Trailblazers: A Rocky Mountain Road Trip. The BBC2 factual documentary will see the three women walk through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, following the journey of Victorian explorer Isabella Bird.

However, “chaos” ensued as Mel B and Ruby Wax rolled around on the sofa in hysterics. Viewers were also left feeling angry with the guests for speaking over each other.

So was Mel B, who eventually became so frustrated when the other stars continued to speak over her, that she got up to walk out of the interview.

It was when Ruby made a comment about the show, saying: "We were after the American dream and then it went rotten”, that Mel replied: "Just like this interview! Don't forget to tune in guys on Monday." She then got up to leave, before she was made it sit back down by her co-stars.

Social media users were quick to point out how Alex Jones was “lost for words” during the interview, with one saying: "Alex Jones isn’t often lost for words but Mel B, Ruby Wax and Emily Atack have completed rinsed #TheOneShow tonight. Chaos."

Another pointed out how Alex’s co-host, Ronan Keating got the giggles and joined in with the guests, writing: "What is scary spice on ?! Interrupting everyone & taking over them. Poor Ruby & Emily. Ronan Keating getting the giggles watching them."

Others were just left feeling surprised with the chaos, as one person typed: "What...is...happening... This is the biggest car crash of an interview between Mel B, Ruby Wax and Emily Atack”, and another said: “Absolute carnage on #TheOneShow tonight with Ruby Wax, Emily Atack & Mel B. Absolutely hilarious."

However, some viewers weren’t as happy, as one person said: "Ruby Wax and Mel B acting like idiots and making me switch off."

It appeared that Alex was also relieved when the interview was finally over and the trio had left, quipping: "Oh it feels a lot quieter in the studio now."
