TV tonight: grooming gang victims tell their stories
9pm, Channel 4Anna Hall has been reporting on gang grooming for more than two decades, after first broadcasting her findings in her 2004 film Edge of the City. In this horrifying documentary, she meets five grownup victims who speak about their experiences, examines the failings of the authorities (victims were referred to as 'child prostitutes' or labelled 'promiscuous') and looks at how grooming became a polarising political issue. What's even more troubling, Hall says, is the fact that the exact same patterns are being repeated today. Hollie Richardson
8pm, BBC ThreeThe search is back on for Britain's next makeup star, so host Leomie Anderson welcomes a new batch of 10 fresh-faced artists to Glow Up studios. They're plunged straight into the spotlight, and tasked with creating runway looks for avant-garde designer Harri. Ellen E Jones
9pm, BBC OneOnce again, RATW feels like reality TV done right; a series that is empowering and comforting at the same time. This week, the teams must reach a checkpoint located in Sanya in the south of China. But do you take the speedy business route or travel scenically? Approaches vary, as, it must be said, do the results. Phil Harrison
9pm, ITV1What happens when you group together a crime writer, a standup comic, two GPs, a scientist and an entrepreneur and get them to outsmart each other for a cash prize? David Tennant's new gameshow finds out, as highly intellectual contestants instantly start squabbling during the first mind-boggling task. HR
9pm, BBC Three'For some people, it seems like everything just falls into place.' For siblings Tiana, Tanika and Tionne? Not so much. In this episode, there's a job interview touching on cultural representation and a night out with Shanice. It also contains the immortal line: 'I killed my brother's chicken. You thought it was my mum, but it ain't.' Ali Catterall
9pm, U&Alibi
The enjoyably hammy whodunnit starring John Simm, Gemma Jones and Nikki Amuka-Bird continues after the wealthy patriarch Jack Wright's will reading left the family reeling. But they're also about to learn the truth about how Jack died, along with some other secrets sure to raise eyebrows. HR
A Complete Unknown (James Mangold, 2025), Disney+James Mangold directed the excellent Johnny Cash drama Walk the Line, and his latest music biopic – which tracks the groundbreaking early phase of Bob Dylan's career – has the same rewarding fidelity to time and place. It also features a lead performance that is so much more than an impersonation: Timothée Chalamet is perfectly cast as the single-minded young folk singer, who arrives in New York in 1961 to follow in the footsteps of his hero, Woody Guthrie. Dylan wows lovable banjo star Pete Seeger (Edward Norton) with his songs and political stance, but his selfish attitude alienates Monica Barbaro's equally talented Joan Baez … and most of the folk establishment.

This beloved Soho pub is closing for good
Another London boozer bites the dust. Soho pub The Shaston Arms will be shutting its doors on June 15. In a statement, brewers Hall & Woodhouse said, 'We are disappointed that after 25 wonderful years, we are sadly saying goodbye to The Shaston Arms in Carnaby. Our wish was to renew the lease on the building, but we understand that the landlord wishes to pursue a restaurant offer on Ganton Street.' Though it looked like a Victorian-era pub, The Shaston Arms actually opened in 1999, and was previously a pair of shops. Run by Dorset-based brewers Hall & Woodhouse, the name 'Shaston' was taken from the Shaftesbury-inspired town present in a number of novels by Dorset-born writer Thomas Hardy. A number of other Hall & Woodhouse pubs in London remain, including the famous Ship and Shovell by Embankment, which is split across two buildings facing each other that are joined by an underground cellar. Earlier this year another much-loved London pub closed, north-west London's Ye Olde Swiss Cottage. Want to drown your sorrows? These are the best pubs in Soho, according to us.

Maya could be seen rocking a corset-style dress with an all-black bodice. The skirt of the garment was completely sheer and made from a mesh fabric. At the top of where the sheer skirt started, there were embroidered yellow flowers and greenery. Maya wore her raven locks down and in a sleek and straight style. "Maya looks too good in that dress," said one person on X. And a third said: "maya is actually stunning i cannot deal." At the start of the programme, Maya delivered a shocking twist. Speaking to the new girls at the start of the episode: Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena, Maya shared the twist. Watch the moment shocked Love Island girls find out about show's big first episode twist While delivering this twist, Maya donned a different look. At the start of tonight's episode, she wore a fitted floral number that had a plunging round neckline. "This year things are slightly different," she told the girls. "You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality?" she asked. 5 5 As the nervous girls lined up, Maya explained: 'Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts. "Each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?' On the boards the girls see descriptions for this year's boys: Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy. And in a huge twist - the girls were told they had to decide who they'd like to couple up with based on these key stats with the boys' name, age, job and a headline.
