Strictly's Ore Oduba reveals shock after Ant and Dec crashed Newsround set live on air
Strictly Come Dancing star Ore Oduba said Ant and Dec "took over" Newsround in a shock appearance while he was hosting the iconic children's programme live on air.Speaking to Daily Star and other press as part of Newsround's 50th anniversary celebrations, the radio presenter and actor shared some of the moments that went wrong on set - and the impact that Newsround has had on generations of children.Ore joined Newsround at the age of 22 years old in 2008, but revealed that despite the team's extensive preparation before the live 5pm programme, not everything went to plan.The former host revealed that one of the biggest, but coolest, shocks that he received was when popular presenting duo Ant and Dec crashed the set as part of a charity challenge.He said: "Ant and Dec did this thing with Comic Relief and they were trying to get on every single live programme one day. "We had this whole programme lined up and before we knew it, Ant and Dec had burst into studio seven in television centre and basically took over the programme."Ore described that he was not sure what was going on, and in a surprise turn of events, ended up being interviewed instead."You're like, am I being interviewed by Ant and Dec? Where's the big red book Michael Aspell? That was pretty cool," he added.The star also revealed that back before the days of uploading information to the cloud and smartphones, presenters often had a painful wait for footage - which sometimes did not arrive on time - so the presenters had to improvise."There was definitely stuff that went wrong because Newsround - it's happening all on the day," said Ore.
