Alex Jones made an unexpected revelation about Elton John during Friday's episode of The One Show.
As the programme commenced, Alex, alongside her co-host Clara Amfo, announced: "So many people have been getting in touch, haven't they? Including Elton John, who sent us a message thanking fans after his greatest hits album, Diamond, topped the charts a few hours ago."
She went on to present a snippet of the iconic singer Elton John, speaking directly from his house, the Mirror reports.
Elton shared his enthusiasm: "Hi Alex, hi Clara and everyone at The One Show. I am so thrilled and excited that Diamonds has finally got to number one in the UK chart."
He added with evident joy: "It has been eight years, so it has been an amazing start to the year, and I could not be happier," according to reports from Wales Online. "Thank you, everyone," he said gratefully before finishing up.
Clara warmly replied: "Aw, congratulations," and called Elton John "Our forever fave, Elton John."
However, Alex wasn't done yet; she later introduced Lenny Rush onto the set to spill the beans about this year's BAFTAs. The young actor shed light on who was set to receive BAFTA's most prestigious honour.

"It is the greatest honour BAFTA can give to the greatest people," he said. Prompted to reveal the honouree, Lenny unveiled: "This year, the winner is Warwick Davis."
Upon mentioning the esteemed Harry Potter actor, Warwick himself walked into the studio to converse about the prominence of the distinguished accolade.
When asked by Clara if the award was one of the "biggest" moments of his career, he responded: "Absolutely. I have done a lot of amazing things in my career, but this has got to top them all, it is amazing. I am really honoured."
Prior to the show's broadcast, The One Show's social media accounts hinted at an "exclusive announcement". They posted on X: "Get ready for an exclusive announcement on tonight's #TheOneShow!
