The One Show viewers praised Sarah Greene’s ‘amazing’ appearance on the chat show.
The 66-year-old wore a brightly coloured dress and styled her short blonde hair in curls for the interview with Roman Kemp, and Alex Jones on the BBC programme.
After originally finding fame on Blue Peter between 1980 and 1983, she’s currently hosting the game show The Finish Line with Roman, and was invited onto the sofa to chat about the upcoming series.
While the trio discussed the upcoming new episodes, some viewers took to social media to compliment the star.
‘Does Sarah Greene actually age?!’ asked account Mostly Stupid on X.
Bobby, who admitted having an old school crush on the presenter said: ‘Sarah Greene is on telly & still looks amazing at 66. You’re welcome.’
‘Sarah Greene was my favourite on Blue Peter. How have I aged and she hasn’t?’ asked Philip Davis.
Daz was happy to see the star on the small screen: ‘Lovely to see Sarah back on TV. More please she’s fab.’
Sarah made her return to TV in 2023 after nine years away. Previously a regular fixture on TV, she worked on Saturday Superstore and Going Live! but when her husband Mike Smith died aged 59 in 2014, she understandably decided to take a break from the spotlight.
The Radio 1 DJ and Top of the Pops host suffered heart surgery complications, and Sarah chose to concentrate on taking over his business – an aerial filming firm, Flying TV.
She described the decision to take on the business as a ‘big task’ that took up ‘a lot of my headspace’.
‘Offers of TV came in but for a long time I was trying to learn this new business but also feeling too raw,’ she explained.
She continued to The Mirror: ‘Only time can help that, you know when you feel ready, when you have that energy.’
Sarah eventually did say yes to The Finish Line – a show that tests contestants on their general knowledge. Speed is also important as the five competitors battle it out to get around a ‘race course’ fastest and take home the prize fund of £5,000.
The first series was a success and Sarah, and Roman, 31, will be returning for a second series later this month.
If the BBC show is given a celebrity special Sarah already has a list of dream guests.
‘We’d start with Hannah Waddingham, and then we’d have Peter Kay. I’d like to see him,’ she revealed on The One Show.
She added Miriam Margolyes, Bradley Walsh, and Shirley Kemp are also high on her agenda.
‘Then I’d like the Drag Race version, and I’ve got all my drag queens lined up for it. Any casting you need doing come to me,’ she joked. She is a woman who can do it all!
Elsewhere on the episode, Graham Norton announced who will be the UK Jury spokesperson at Eurovision 2024.
The One Show airs weeknights at 7pm on BBC One.
