TV tonight: the return of excruciating sitcom Such Brave Girls
8pm, Channel 4A confusingly uninspiring new documentary series that follows staff and travellers on two luxury cruises. It's not that you are left wanting a disaster to happen, just something a tad more dramatic than a basket-sleigh-riding excursion in Madeira. Where's Jane McDonald when you need her? HR
9pm, U&DramaThe superb period drama about the scandalous lives of the six Mitford sisters gets chillingly prescient as the growing fascist movement divides the family. Nancy attends an Oswald Mosley rally as research for her next book, Unity moves to Munich in the hope of meeting Hitler, and Jessica is inspired by her cousin, who has left school to join the communist cause. HR
9pm, Channel 4Chaos reigns. Of course it does – it's the grand final of this purely delightful show. While Rosie Ramsey sports a wooden box like an oversized fascinator, Mathew Baynton menaces a puppy, Jason Mantzoukas and Stevie Martin start a local business and Fatiha El-Ghorri kicks a door in. There can be only one winner. Ali Catterall
9pm, Sky Max

Emily (Jones) finds herself in danger when she meets her girlfriend's dad, who is none other than fearsome rival crime boss Lennie Kennedy. Cue a finale filled with mayhem, blood and Emily forgetting to wipe her sophisticated plan off a hospital whiteboard. Hannah J Davies

Stars of new thriller The Assassin appear as trailer released
Prime Video also released the action-packed trailer for The Assassin on Thursday, which features Hawes as retired assassin Julie – who is forced to fight for survival alongside her estranged son Edward, played by Freddie Highmore. The trailer shows Hawes transformed into a gun-wielding action woman, complete with blood-splattered face and clothes. 'I used to do bad things. For money,' she says in one scene. Hawes and Highmore appeared for a photocall at the Soho Hotel in central London alongside other actors who appear in the new series, including Shalom Brune-Franklin and Devon Terrell. The six-part thriller sees the characters Julie and Edward forced to flee an idyllic remote Greek island and go on the run together when Julie's dangerous past catches up with her. Hawes previously said she felt 'so lucky' to have spent last summer in Athens with the 'wonderful' Highmore and the 'high-calibre' cast and crew. The series is the latest project by writing duo brothers Harry and Jack Williams, who produced the hit comedy Fleabag and created the thriller series The Tourist starring Jamie Dornan. Hawes has previously starred in hit series including Line Of Duty, Bodyguard and Spooks, as well as Channel 4 drama It's A Sin and ITV political drama Stonehouse. Highmore, who starred as the titular character in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory as a child, previously said it was a 'joy' to work on the project. 'It doesn't get better than a Greek adventure alongside the lovely and incomparable Keeley Hawes,' he added.

Jermaine Jenas opens up on text messages that got him sacked from the BBC and reveals marriage troubles led to scandal
JERMAINE Jenas has spoken out about his exit from the BBC for sending X-rated text messages to colleagues. The former England footballer, 42, revisited the scandal that cost him his high-paid telly gigs on The One Show and Match of the Day. 5 5 5 It also ultimately led to the collapse of his marriage to his wife of 14 years, Ellie, with the pair announcing their split in March. Speaking with comedian Katherine Ryan and professional boxer Derek Chisora on his Let Me Tell You Something podcast, he said: "I broke a vow. I feel my level of punishment was up there. I had to take it and have some broad shoulders and handle it, and I feel like I did that." Jermaine likened his messages to Fifty Shades of Grey lothario Christian Grey, continuing: "It was sexting, as simple as that, but it was initiated to me and then I responded. "It wasn't just me going out of my way and it definitely 100 percent wasn't 'me 'if you do this I will help you in your work'. "There was no power element to it going on." He then admitted his personal life and marriage weren't in a good place at the time, though he insisted it was no excuse for his behaviour. "There's a lot of stuff with me and Ellie where we weren't in the best place ourselves," he said. "And things were just spiralling a little bit. In no way is that blame. I'm fully accepting responsibility. "I dealt with it wrong and got heavily punished for it by losing pretty much everything that I had at that time." Though the fallout of the messages was costly, Jermaine claimed the BBC had him "locked in a creative prison". He was sacked in an excruciating online meeting with HR and senior corporation execs, including being shown a string of X-rated messages he'd sent. He told The Sun at the time: 'I am ashamed, and I am deeply sorry." In the same interview, he confessed to lying to wife Ellie during a family holiday and sneaking off to take a Zoom call with BBC bosses over his X-rated messages. In 2023, Jenas and Ellie clashed as he started spending more time socialising with his One Show work colleagues. The pair had explosive rows but, Jermaine admitted they quietly worked through their issues with the help of couple's therapy. Heartbroken ex-model Ellie announced the couple were separating in March. She wrote: "I never imagined I would have to share something so personal with the public, but given the situation, I feel it's necessary. "After 16 years together and 4 wonderful children, Jermaine and I have decided to part ways. "We will remain friends and continue to co-parent. We kindly ask that you respect our children's privacy during this challenging time. "Thank you, Ellie." The pair had been married for 14 years and share two daughters, Geneva and Olivia, and son, Jacob. Jermaine also has an older daughter, Sancha, from a previous relationship.

I can tell you I'm not happy - there are two sides to every story - and I'm going to be speaking with my lawyers on the issue." The BBC responds to Jenas' sacking: "We can confirm Jermaine Jenas is no longer part of the presenting line-up."
