Katy Perry shares her love for London on The One Show
The One Show bids a temporary farewell to its viewers as the BBC clears its schedule for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, leaving presenters Roman Kemp and Alex Jones to say their goodbyes on Thursday's show.
In a significant programming overhaul, The One Show has been pulled from its usual 7pm slot on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with Thursday marking the last episode before the show takes a hiatus for the duration of the Olympics.
Helmed by a team including Alex Jones, Roman Kemp and Jermaine Jenas, The One Show is set for a "summer break" while the BBC dedicates its broadcasting to the much-anticipated sporting spectacle. The announcement was made shortly after pop sensation Katy Perry graced the show, discussing her latest track, Woman's World, and teasing her forthcoming album, 143.
Katy was the final celebrity to grace the iconic green sofa, even as her interview was trimmed down in anticipation of the programme's conclusion. At the close of the episode, Roman Kemp expressed his gratitude: "Thanks so much to Katy Perry."
He then revealed the major schedule change, stating: "Enjoy the Olympics, see you on the 12th of August," reports the Mirror.
Alex Jones chimed in with a cheerful farewell, "Bye, have a nice summer," as the show wrapped up for the summer season.
Meanwhile, Katy provided fans with an exciting glimpse into her romance with actor Orlando Bloom during the show. The Firework singer, 39, who got engaged to the Pirates of the Caribbean star three years ago, is known for keeping her love life fairly private.
Despite being world-famous figures, both Katy and Orlando choose not to broadcast details about their personal affairs, especially pertaining to their marriage plans, which have been kept under wraps for the last half-decade.
She also shared her love for the city of London. She said: "It is one of my favourite places beyond Santa Barbara, where I live. Orlando and I spent so much time in London and lately we have been thinking about maybe splitting our time. We love it so much."
She added excitedly: "We feel like you guys. We spent all day in Hyde Park yesterday and we went to the Princess Diana playground and it's just great for kids, it's amazing."
