Who’s on The One Show tonight? Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn joins Ore Oduba and Alex Jones
THE One Show will be going all political again on Tuesday night as the leader of the Labour Party will arrive in the studio for a no doubt gentle grilling.
Viewers of the popular BBC One magazine show watched Prime Minister Theresa May field mild-mannered questions from Alex Jones and Matt Baker earlier this month.
And now it is the turn of Jeremy Corbyn to answer questions about his political party’s manifesto and his personal life.
Here is everything you need to know about The One Show on Tuesday 30 May 2017.
What time is The One Show on?
You can turn on to BBC1 at 7pm on weeknights to watch the show.
Each night the presenters mix interviews with an array of celebrity guests with an eclectic mix of topics ranging from current affairs to pop culture.
On Tuesday night's show it is likely the majority of the air time will be dedicated to interviewing Jeremy Corbyn in a similar style to how Prime Minister and Conservative leader Theresa May and her husband Philip were quizzed on the evening show.
Who’s presenting tonight?
Alex Jones will be on the sofa tonight - she is currently hosting The One Show twice per week while enjoying maternity leave after welcoming her first ever baby (a son) in January.
Alex is a Welsh TV presenter from Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, Wales, and born on 18 March 1977.
Alex will be joined on the show by recent Strictly Come Dancing champion Ore Oduba who fills in for Matt Baker following the Bank Holiday weekend.
Ore, from London and born on 17 November 1985, is generally a sports presenter, however his TV duties have seen him pop up on ITV show Play to the Whistle, as well as the newly revamped Top Gear.
Who is Jeremy Corbyn?
Jeremy Corbyn is the leader of the Labour party - currently fighting for a chance to take power at Number 10 in the fast approaching UK general election.
Something of a divisive politician, Jezza has been ridiculed in recent months for his leadership skill, controversial views on terrorism and the union of the united kingdom.
However he has seen a surge in popularity in recent days with some considering him to be back in the race for number 10 after helping Labour narrow the gap with the Conservatives in the polls.
For many, the turning moment was when Jeremy delivered his party manifesto on May 25 where he detailed plans to renew British infrastructure and a focus on strengthening the NHS and police forces.
He also covered foreign policy - suggesting UK 'connections' to wars around the world have contributed towards terrorist attacks on home soil (a view that sparked a backlash from many other politicians).
Can I be in The One Show audience?

However, to be in with a chance of watching programmes from A Question of Sport to Just a Minute being made visit .
How long has The One Show been running?
The magazine style show has been running for over a decade. The first episode was aired on August 14 2006.
From 2007 to 2010 it was hosted by Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley, before Alex Jones and Jason Manford took the helm.
