According to The Daily Telegraph, over 100 complaints were received about the item on Thursday's programme, which asked whether "being posh" is "a bad thing for politics".
Kaye Adams, who hosted the piece, reportedly said that if the Conservatives win the election "we will be electing a Cabinet filled with no less than 18 millionaires".
Meanwhile, people who were interviewed for the show allegedly described David Cameron as a "toff" and "unashamedly a Sloane Ranger".
The BBC said: "We received complaints that the item was biased against the Conservative Party. We accept that the piece was not as good as it should have been. The One Show production team are aware of their responsibilities to ensure fairness in their output."
