A whole host of fan-favourite BBC shows are facing schedule changes as a result of the Wimbledon Championships 2025.

Bosses at the broadcaster are clearing their schedule to bring dedicated, rolling coverage on BBC One.

It's already meant The One Show - which airs at 7pm on weeknights - has been taken off air for weeks.

Now, the full list of programmes disrupted has been revealed, and a whopping 14 beloved daytime shows have been pulled.

Over on BBC One, Escape To The Country, Pointless, Bridge Of Lies and Garden Rescue have been ditched.

On BBC Two, The Edge, My Family, Murder, Mystery, Lighting and Unbeatable have also been dropped.

Ross Kemps' Bridge Of Lies has also been canned, as well as Richard Osman's House Of Games and Robson Green¿s Weekend Escapes

Wimbledon coverage has also seen Flog It, Weatherman Walking, Hidden Treasures of the National Trust, Richard Osman's House Of Games and Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes taken out of their usual slots.

All these daytime staples are expected to return as normal from Monday, July 14, once Wimbledon has concluded.

EastEnders has also been affected this week, with bosses moving this week's episodes on to BBC Two in a bid to keep the soap on air.

The One Show's Alex Jones told fans how the show was taking its summer break as a result of Wimbledon.

Last Friday, the mum-of-three said: 'We are taking a bit of a break for the next four weeks and we'll be back on Monday, 28th July but there's plenty to enjoy like Wimbledon and the Euros.' 

Alex Jones previously revealed the Hollywood A-lister who was 'so full of himself' on The One Show.

The presenter shared on the Netmums Podcast that actor Jared Leto, 53, was her least favourite guest to ever appear on the BBC show.

Jared was interviewed on the chat show in April 2022 to discuss his miniseries, WeCrashed.

She told hosts Wendy Golledge and Alison Perry: 'Jared Leto was dressed as one of the Three Musketeers and he had all this, I don't know, Gucci, big shirt, sleeves billowing. I mean, he was so full of himself.

'And I thought, no, no, no, no. Our audience are nice people and, they deserve better than this. And, ok, you might be like a huge celebrity star and you've done all these films, but it doesn't cost to be polite and nice.

'Anybody who can't bring those simple skills to the table, I'm out. I'm like, no, sorry, you've not been brought up well, then.'

She added: 'People assume that, it must be amazing to have these big Hollywood actors and yeah, it is. It's fine. But I really like when we have British homegrown talent. They know the show, they know the atmosphere and, they give really good interviews as a result.

'We've had people on that are big Hollywood stars. Last week we had Robert De Niro and, he was lovely. He was a little bit like, "oh, my God, this is live." And that's the thing about actors, they don't like being themselves. They often get quite nervous.

'There are some who are brilliant, and they are very relaxed, but when they have to promote the film, they get into a panic, and the interview can be a little bit sort of staccato and it doesn't really flow.'
