Paddy McGuinness accidentally smashes BBC One Show set causing chaos

Paddy McGuinness caused chaos during an appearance on The One Show as he accidentally broke part of the set.

The Top Gear host was messing around with presenters Alex Jones and Matt Baker before disaster struck.

Paddy accidentally kicked the plastic table which sits in front of guests leaving it in pieces.

He then pulled a broken part off the table and pretended it was telephone, leaving Alex and Matt in fits of laughter, reports the Mirror.

Paddy joked: “"Is this what we've come to on the BBC?", showing the piece had actually been broken off before and fixed back on with sellotape.

He continued: "I'm blaming Brexit.

"The budget's only just come out!... I've literally just caught that with my foot! That is ridiculous."

The show also suffered a technical glitch recently when The Pussycat Doll's performance went off to an awkward start as the song began playing but the Dolls couldn't hear it.

Nicole Scherzinger and her reunited group stood there for 30 seconds as their new song played without them moving a limb.

Ironically, the groups first single for 12 years is called 'React', which is exactly what they didn't do as the music played to viewers at home.

There had been great excitement in the studio when presenter Matt Baker introduced the group, saying: "Now performing their new single, it's the Pussycat Dolls."

As the studio audience at the BBC show cheered and hollered, Nicole et al stood stock still before Jessica Sutta looked around to see what was happening.

The track was quickly pulled and Matt appeared to introduce the single for a second time.

With the sound now filling the studio, the Pussycat Dolls purred into action as if there hadn't been any problem, their earpieces working correctly again.
