The popular BBC show, which airs during The One Show, has announced a new presenting line-up06:59, 27 May 2026BBC The One Show's Watchdog has revealed it is expanding its roster of investigators.The beloved segment, which is one of Britain's most trusted consumer brands, is set to welcome two new presenters, who will appear alongside established hosts Matt Allwright and Nikki Fox.BBC viewers will be introduced to BAFTA-winning presenter and consumer journalist Nick Stapleton and Manchester-based broadcaster and documentary maker Amber Haque.The pair will inject fresh expertise into the series, with Nick's debut report scheduled to air during Wednesday's (May 27) episode of The One Show.He will be unmasking fraudulent adverts on social media that entice consumers into bogus investments.Nick's new role carries a deeply personal significance, as he is the son of the late Watchdog presenters John Stapleton and Lynn Faulds Wood, the much-loved husband-and-wife duo who fronted the programme from 1986 to 1993.He acknowledged that there is a "real poignancy" in joining the team given that his parents are no longer alive.The television presenter said: "Uncovering scams and fighting for consumer fairness is in my blood. I grew up watching my mum doorstepping people and holding them to account, and it lit a fire in me."He further stated: "My parents aren't around any more, so there is a real poignancy in joining Watchdog, a programme that was such a huge part of our lives. I truly believe in public service broadcasting and it's a privilege to join Matt, Nikki and Amber to continue that legacy."Meanwhile, Amber, whose portfolio encompasses BBC Three documentaries, popular podcasts and global productions, commented: "I grew up watching The One Show and Watchdog and so much of my work now looks at how digital culture and modern systems are affecting people's lives."What makes Watchdog so special is how it holds power to account while staying human and accessible, so it's a really exciting moment to be joining the team."Discussing his new colleagues, Matt remarked: "In Amber and Nick we've got two of the most talented investigative journalists around. I'm delighted that they're going to be part of the team and I know they will take Watchdog from strength to strength."Nikki added: "It's an exciting time for Watchdog on The One Show. With Nick and Amber, we'll be able to cover even more of the stories that matter to audiences across the UK. They're both brilliant and I can't wait to welcome them."Article continues belowJoanne Vaughan-Jones, Editor of The One Show stated: "Watchdog remains one of the BBC's most trusted brands.
