On yesterday evening’s episode of The One Show, Emma and Matt chatted with Britain’s Got Talent judge and comedian David Walliams.

Viewers also heard from historian Dan Snow, who was on a ship crossing the Channel to interview a group of World War Two veterans.

But his interview met with something of a backlash on social media, as fans branded his interviewing style ‘condescending’ and even ‘disrespectful’.
