The One Show host Clara Amfo was forced to quickly change the subject on Tuesday’s instalment of the BBC show, after guest Natalie Portman branded the moment ’embarrassing’.
During Tuesday’s episode of The One Show, Clara Amfo was on the ball, swiftly shifting gears after an awkward moment.
The show featured star-studded guests such as Natalie Portman, Millie Gibson, Romesh Ranganathan and Tom Davis.
As things kicked off, Alex Jones revealed how thrilled Romesh and Tom were to be on set with the Hollywood star.
Alex prompted Romesh saying:”You were talking about Natalie’s films and you couldn’t really decide on which was your favourite. So, you’ve got different opinions, Romesh let’s hear yours.”
Romesh dished his thoughts to the movie star, adding: “Well listen, I loved your work in the Thor movies, I thought it was exceptional. I’m a big fan-“
Natalie’s reaction to the praise was modest, perhaps a bit uneasy as she responded: “Thank you, this is very embarrassing. It’s like live reviews.”
Undeterred, Romesh continued to speak highly of her Thor performances, declaring her portrayal added a layer of complexity, reports the Express.
He complimented her, stating: “The work you did in it, it elevated the film.”
Natalie humbly replied: “I appreciate that, thank you. They were all very fun to make.”
Yet Tom wanted in on the commendation session, voicing his admiration for Natalie’s role in Black Swan as his top pick.
Then came Millie Gibson’s turn, who aligned with Tom but didn’t miss a chance to sing Natalie’s praises for her stellar performance in Leon the Professional.
Romesh Ranganathan cheekily asked Natalie on the show: “Natalie, what’s your favourite thing that I’ve done?”
The panel burst into laughter and Clara Amfo swiftly moved things along with a playful: “Moving on!”
Later on, Millie Gibson chatted about the latest adventures in Doctor Who and didn’t miss the chance to mention Alex Jones’ appearance, saying: “You were amazing in it!”
As they watched her on-screen moment, Alex quipped back jokingly about her cameo, commenting: “I was just like me, it’s unbelievable. I mean, it’s just lovely to be in it, isn’t it?”
Millie Gibson piped up again, praising Alex: “It’s a really fun atmosphere, but honestly I was like I’m going to have to congratulate you on your performance when I’m here.”
