Popular presenter and TV personality Alex Jones made a dig at the BBC over her pay as she announced The One Show's upcoming Eurovision coverage.
Alex made the cheeky remark yesterday when she appeared on the show as she joked alongside Ronan Keating.
She announced that the daytime show would be hosting its very own Eurovision coverage as the continent-spanning music contest comes to Liverpool.
She told fans: "Today the BBC has revealed its plans which includes the news that The One Show is coming live from Liverpool, we are very excited.
"We are going to be the official opening act right at the heart of the action and guiding you through the whole contest.
"We will be there from the Tuesday 9th of May for the semi-finals and then we will be getting the party started before the final on Saturday 13th of May.
"This is mega and a very special countdown to the Eurovision with The One Show."
The broadcaster, who is from Wales, added: "The One Show on a Saturday?"
Ronan Keating commented on the work being done by asking: "I know they're going to have to double your pay."
Alex then hit back with: "Yeah to £4" before Ronan was left in stitches at the response.
