TV tonight: Alison Hammond finally gets her own interview series
8.30pm, BBC OneAlison Hammond is a pro at getting laughs out of celebrities, but this new series – in which she spends a weekend at a star's house – proves she's a brilliant interviewer too. Who else could get away with asking Little Mix's Perrie Edwards if she needs to take a pregnancy test? The laughs are always there, but there's depth too when Edwards talks about anxiety and panic attacks. Hollie Richardson
9pm, BBC TwoThe three writers' retreats featured in this episode include Beatrix Potter's home-within-a-home (a doll's house containing more than 70 beautifully detailed miniatures), and the woodland cottage of Clouds Hill, Dorset, a refuge for TE Lawrence (of Arabia). Ellen E Jones
9pm, ITV1
The ever genial tourist Clunes wraps up his latest travelogue by setting course for the Faroe Islands. There he gamely mucks in with sheep-shearing and straps into a drysuit to dive for mussels. Then it's west to Greenland to marvel at some incomparable views and learn about the local wildlife ('Is this the penis bone of the walrus?'). Graeme Virtue
9pm, Channel 5Czech it out: another extended episode of Portillo's time in Prague – 'the city of a hundred spires' – from his previous Long Weekends series. This time he is leaving his one-room hotel to eat his way around the city, explore a centuries-old craft and visit a secret bunker. HR
9pm, Sky MaxThe late-night show is going great but, following Ava's (Hannah Einbinder) breakdown, can she continue to work as head writer with Deborah (Jean Smart)? Even if the answer is no, their millennial/boomer frenemy relationship finally looks back on track – and that could last … couldn't it? HR
9.30pm, BBC OneJulian's plan to rebrand himself in the eyes of the world approaches fruition in the penultimate episode of this underwhelming sitcom starring Ben Miller. But as the documentary release date approaches, is everything OK between him and Austin? Phil Harrison
Five Easy Pieces (Bob Rafelson, 1970), 6am, Sky Cinema GreatsA set text in any discussion about the New American Cinema, Bob Rafelson's zeitgeisty 1970 drama stars Jack Nicholson as Bob, who works on a California oil rig and is in a relationship with waitress Rayette (Karen Black) – but is noticeably disaffected by both. He is also hiding a past as the classically trained pianist son of a middle-class musical family. On a road trip back home to Washington state to see his ailing father, his rootlessness comes to the fore – but is he running away from boredom, failure, commitment or just the difficult business of living an ordinary life? Simon Wardell
Bodies Bodies Bodies (Halina Reijn, 2022), 11.30pm, BBC OnePosing as a generic 'cabin in the woods' horror in the vein of And Then There Were None (though it is actually set in a mansion), Halina Reijn's film soon develops into a sly, brutally funny takedown of entitled generation Zers. A group of friends (the on point cast includes Amandla Stenberg, Myha'la and Rachel Sennott) prepare to party in a big, dark house, but storm-related power cuts and a bloody death precipitate a breakdown of order. Bitchy, indiscreet and jealous, the pals turn out to be hilariously incapable of staying united with a possible killer on the loose. SW

Perrie appeared to be soaking up the sun abroad as she posed under clear blue skies and in front of a swimming pool. Sharing her latest poolside ensemble with her 18.9million followers, the blonde beauty penned: 'Oh hi'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Her sizzling snaps comes after she revealed she brings her therapist to work with her in a bid to manage the panic attacks that have plagued her for years. She opened up about her mental health struggles as she was announced as the newest celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind. Perrie who has been very honest about her battle with anxiety and panic attacks, has shed light on how she's learning to cope - including having her therapist on hand to help her face the symptoms in the moment. The former X Factor winner – who's previously spoken about struggling with agoraphobia and blurred vision and breathlessness during a panic attack – said her biggest breakthrough came when she stopped trying to fight the feelings and started facing them in real time. She told Metro: 'Last year, maybe in September, I started to take my therapist to work with me, which I know is a very privileged situation. 'I understand that not many people even have a therapist. So I thought, I'm going to make the most of it. 'I'm going to take her to work with me every day, and when I'm having the panic attack, she's going to coach me through it there and then.' She admitted: 'It's the best thing I've ever done. And I wish I did it sooner, to be honest.' She opened up about her mental health struggles as she was announced as the newest celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind Despite previously trying 'all different kinds' of therapy, Perrie confessed that the panic still hit her hard when it came out of nowhere and everything she'd been taught just 'went out the window.' The BRIT Award-winning star is on a mission to help break the stigma around anxiety and wants to encourage others to get the support they need. As part of her new role with Mind, she's pushing for more access to mental health resources for everyone. not just those with the means to have support on speed dial. She added: 'I'm just trying to be at peace with my anxiety. If I can help even one person feel less alone, it's worth it.' It comes after the singer has admitted she fears she 'might die' as she opened up about her ongoing battle with panic disorders when she appeared on Alison Hammond 's Big Weekend. Perrie invited the presenter into her home and spoke openly about how anxiety has affected her everyday life. 'I've developed panic disorder' she said. 'So it's the fear of having a panic attack. A few years ago, I started suffering from severe panic attacks. 'I then developed a fear of having one again because I was like, if I'm on my own and have a panic attack, I might die, and nobody will be here to help.' She candidly added: 'That's why I'm never on my own. Never. I'm always with somebody. I don't like the feeling of feeling like I'm gonna die.' Elsewhere in the interview, Perrie revealed she wants to expand her family after welcoming a son Axel in 2021 with her partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Chatting about how Axel sleeps in her bed when Alex is away for work, Alison asked: 'Are you going to have another one?' To which Perrie replied: 'I'd love more. I've always wanted four but I know that's a bit excessive now because I know that we can't get in a car.' 'You just get a bigger car, don't you?' Alison responded. Perrie replied: 'I don't want to. I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant.' 'Should we go and get a pregnancy test?' Alison joked, to which Perrie said: 'Could you imagine.' What is a panic attack? They are an exaggeration of your body's normal response to danger, stress or excitement. Symptoms can include: • A pounding or racing heartbeat • Feeling faint, dizzy or light-headed • Feeling very hot or very cold • Sweating, trembling or shaking • Nausea (feeling sick) • Pain in your chest or abdomen •Struggling to breathe or feeling like you're choking • Feeling like your legs are shaky or are turning to jelly • Feeling disconnected from your mind, body or surroundings

"You can't pre-book buses or trains because you don't know what we might ask you to do along the way."Race Across the World is currently available to stream on iPlayer. The JET Jaunt challenged teams to take a selfie in a certain street in St Malo, take a photo of the Owl of Dijon and take a team photo at the statue of F1 driver Juan Manuel in 2024 Lucy Gomes and her friend Sarah Parker said the challenge was "too good an opportunity to miss".Ms Gomes said: "It was so much fun, we really enjoyed the challenges and loved seeing each city along the way.

'Exhilarating and challenging' Joanne Vandermerwe-Mahon travelled with her 12-year-old daughter Eleanor - the youngest competitor."We took part because we thought it was a great cause and we are fans of the TV show."The race was exhilarating and challenging - it really made us think and plan ahead and at a few points we had to be very sneaky and strategic."Registration is open with an event capacity of 50 teams of two racers.
