But many viewers were most astonished by how good she looks years after finding fame in the 90s.

One tweeted: "Gwen Stefani on the one show is just weird. How has she not aged?! No way is she 53."

Another wrote: "Love Gwen Stefani!! How is she 53? Looks 30. Would love her to duet with Madonna."

The One Show hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine stunned the star with a video message from British singer Pauline Black, a childhood idol of hers.

After playing the message from the singer, who founded the ska band The Selecter, Gwen said: "Zoom in guys, these are real tears. Wow I'm shaking. I can't believe that. That is incredible.

Jermaine, 40, told her: "I can understand why."

But the US singer replied: "You don't understand anything, OK?"

Alex joked, as former footballer Jermaine hid behind her in mock-fear: "You tell him, Gwen."
