Alex Jones of The One Show was stunned as Elton John warned to ‘lay off cocaine’ on Monday’s show.
The singer was asked on Monday on The One Show what advice he would give his young self.
The 74-year-old told Michael Ball: “I would say, give up cocaine.”
Michael replied, “Very wise advice,” to which Elton responded with a cheeky smile: “Absolutely.”
Alex said: “I love it, I love it!”
One viewer wrote: “Alex Jones’ nervous laughter when Elton John mentioned that cocaine on The One Show is my favorite thing.”
Another added: “#eltonjohn on the One Show …. question from viewer, if you could say something to your young self what would it be …..?
“ELTON … drop the cocaine”
Another posted a series of laughing emojis.
“Elton John saying if he could go back he would drop cocaine on the bloody show,” wrote another.
Another wrote: “LOL Elton John on The One Show. Michael Ball: If you could say one thing to your young self, what would it be?
“Elton: uh I would say … drop the cocaine.”
Another commented: “Drop the cocaine”. Brilliant. “
“Elton John saying living on BBC One ‘sacking cocaine” are wise words for a living … “another said.
But another angrily: “Elton should have been eliminated when he joked about drugs and the hosts all laughed like it was a funny thing.
“Drugs are no laughing matter.”
The One Show airs on BBC One each evening at 7 p.m.
