Alex Jones, 42, and Matt Baker, 41, discussed breakdancing during a segment with Take That star Howard Donald, 50, who was known for his bold dance moves during the early years of the group’s performances. The trio spoke about breakdancing being proposed for inclusion in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on The One Show. The pregnant BBC host seemingly hinted her fellow co-star could possibly be dancing his way into a new role as she suggested he do the commentary for the sport. Alex said: “You might be commentating on break dancing next Olympics. Who knows?”
Matt replied: “Listen, I’d be happy too. I think it’d be really entertaining.”
The Welsh star agreed: “Oh my gosh, it’d be a great competition.”
Take That’s Howard Donald chimed in: “That [breakdancing] really excites me. If that becomes an Olympic sport, it deserves to be.
“Because it’s so physical, so athletic. The stuff they do nowadays is off the scale.”
Breakdancing is an energetic and acrobatic style of street dance which developed in the early 1970s in New York City.
This form of dance was typically performed to funk or hip-hop music and plays an integral part to the culture of rap music.
Meanwhile, the two BBC presenters were left stunned during a recent broadcast on the evening show.
The pair were were left shocked after an expert revealed the number of deaths which have occurred in the UK due to air pollution.
Matt said: “There are 36,000 deaths related to air pollution. Something has to be done.”
Speaking to expert Jonas he said: “Yes, it’s a huge number of deaths and that’s long-term exposure to air pollution across the UK.
“And that’s not just from cars but of course it’s other industries such as shipping, it’s farming.
“That’s one of the reasons why spring is one of the worst times for air pollution as well.”
He continued: “Wood burning stoves are really popular and trendy but I’m sorry to say it but a really efficient wood burning stove can release the same particular matter as 18 new Diesel cars.
“That is just staggering. It’s not popular to say but it’s not good for people’s health.”
Alex said: “Gosh, I didn’t realise that.”
The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One.
