Who was Charlie Mott?

Charlie Mott was a researcher on The One Show who passed away over the weekend.

The cause of Motts’ death has not been publicly announced.

Mott had been with the BBC since 2018 after having graduated from Bournemouth University the year prior with a Bachelor's Degree in Multimedia Journalism.

Before joining The One Show, Mott worked on a variety of BBC programmes, including the Graham Norton Show, The Hotel Inspector and Strictly Come Dancing.

He had been with the BBC for two years, initially as a studio researcher and then finally as a shooting researcher.

What did Alex Jones say?

Alex Jones spent the closing moments on the episode of The One Show on Monday 24 August paying tribute to her colleague.

Before the programme ended, Jones said: “Now, before we go, we just wanted to pay tribute to one of our colleagues, Charlie Mott, who sadly died at the weekend.

“Everybody in the team is absolutely devastated, he was hugely talented and such good company.

“We’ll miss him so much. Our thoughts are with his family and we’re sending lots of love from all of us here. Goodnight.”

After Jones finished, the closing credits on The One Show were displayed in silence rather than with the usual theme song as a mark of respect for Mott.
