The One Show viewers rallied around a Riverdance performer after she suffered a fall during the live broadcast.
Presenters Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne were at the helm on Friday, earlier engaging with actors Olly Rix, Robert Bathurst, and Mark Bonnar. But as the show drew to a close, they stepped outside for a special segment.
With St Patrick's Day just around the corner, lead dancer Keeva Corry was interviewed before BBC audiences were treated to an energetic Riverdance performance.
However, as the dancers kicked off their routine, eagle-eyed fans spotted one of the performers losing her footing and hitting the deck. Social media was quickly abuzz with messages of support, commending the dancer's professionalism in carrying on with the performance.
One viewer expressed sympathy, tweeting: "Poor lass but what a professional - smiling all the way.", reports the Mirror.
Another praised her resilience: "Shout out to the girl who slipped during Riverdance and got back up and carried on! ! Fair play to her #TheOneShow #Riverdance".
Concerns about the stage's safety were raised by another fan: "Oh dear one of the girls just took a slip whilst performing on #TheOneShow to be fair the stage looked awfully unstable!" Meanwhile, a different viewer shared their surprise: "Oh no bless her! I looked away for one second, then saw her get back up."
Sympathetic reactions continued, with one tweet reading: "Falling on live TV what a shame."
And another succinctly summed it up: "Slippydance! Oops."
Before their performance, Keeva shared the origins of the iconic Riverdance with BBC hosts, explaining that it started as an interval act at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994.
She remarked: "A full show was brought to life in 1995, and we've kept going since! We're bringing it back to London this year."
Keeva, who wasn't even born when Riverdance first took the stage, expressed her amazement at being part of the production now as a professional dancer.
Discussing the enduring appeal of Riverdance, Keeva attributed its success to: "I think the amazing people behind it. We've got our amazing composer, Bill Whelan and Moya and John, our producers."
She continued, praising the legacy and future of the show: "All the performers and creatives that have gone before us and, of course, the new generation we have now and all of them coming up."
Celebrating Riverdance's 30th anniversary, Keeva outlined the current tour, and when asked about what audiences can expect, she enthused: "It's a huge spectacle, it's not just Irish dancing, there's amazing music, there are flamenco dancers, there are folk dancers."
She added excitement for the new elements: "We've got brand new costumes, we've got brand new lighting and of course, it's a new generation of people with lots of fresh energy."
