The One Show's Alex Jones had to abruptly interrupt the programme as she announced a last-minute guest change.

On the Wednesday (June 4) episode, Alex, alongside co-host Vernon Kay, was set to chat with a stellar line-up including Nick Frost and Mason Thames about the much-anticipated live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon.

But just before diving into the interview, Alex stopped the show to share that Nick Frost had to step in for Gerard Butler, who was struck down by illness and couldn't attend.

Alex said: "We're thrilled that you're here Nick because as we said last night Ger.. I can't even say his name so lucky he's not here, Gerard Butler was going to be here but he's ill so he couldn't make it but you've stepped in at the last minute so thank you very much."

Nick Frost lightened the mood with a humorous apology: "Sorry everyone.", reports . The audience chuckled as Alex added: "We're thrilled you're here, thank you Nick."

Although Gerard Butler was absent, Mason Thames, who voices Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III in the movie, was full of praise for his co-star.

Mason, when quizzed about working with Butler, enthused: "He is really great and in this industry he is somewhat of a father figure. He has a lot of good advice because he has been doing this for such a long time."

He went on to say: "Listening to what he has got to say and the experiences he has been through is really helpful and it's cool to be on this journey with him as well.

"Getting to do those scenes with him and the energy he brings to set, the scenes and rare emotional it's incredible to watch in person and to see on screen is incredible."

The official blurb for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon reads: "On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup stands apart.

"The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast, Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society."

It continues: "With the fierce and ambitious Astrid and the village's quirky blacksmith Gobber by his side, Hiccup confronts a torn by fear and misunderstanding.

"As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader".
