Destination X episode 2 - All the clues that gave away the cast's location
BBC One's latest reality competition Destination X returned tonight for its second episode, with the remaining nine contestants trying to pinpoint their exact location for the chance to win the jackpot prize. Hosted by Rob Brydon, the show sees strangers head on a journey of a lifetime as the globe is turned into a massive board game.
With a new location in every episode, the stars must guess their exact destination at the end of the day - and whoever is furthest away from the right answer must leave the show. Last night's episode saw viewers call out a 'fake' blunder just a few minutes into the episode, however others jumped straight into the geographical puzzles that featured throughout.
Tonight's episode saw the contestants work out a number of riddles until a handful correctly guessed that The Matterhorn in Switzerland had been their second location in the challenge. But did you manage to work it out? Here are all the clues you may have missed along the way.

BBC Homes Under The Hammer's Welsh host spots 'alarming' detail in 'bargain' property
BBC Homes Under The Hammer's Welsh host spots 'alarming' detail in 'bargain' property Homes Under The Hammer presenter Owain Wyn Evans was on hand to offer his expert advice to viewers as he took a tour of a property in Wolverhampton and was 'alarmed' by a rogue detail Homes Under The Hammer presenter Owain Wyn Evans had travelled to Wolverhampton to inspect a property heading for auction with a bargain guide price of approximately £19,000 to £24,000. The Welsh television personality, who possesses considerable property expertise, found himself hard-pressed to identify problems with this "bargain" dwelling during the repeat episode aired on BBC One on Monday, August 11. As he toured the terraced house, which enjoyed convenient access to local facilities, Owain praised the property for its generous and roomy spaces and was pleasantly surprised to discover a fairly recent boiler alongside a bathroom suite in reasonable condition. Beyond requiring fresh paint and complete carpet replacement, Owain was astounded by the relatively modest renovation project facing prospective purchasers. Nevertheless, during his inspection, he did encounter two significant concerns that could prove expensive to address. Owain spotted two dangerous details Martin Roberts delivers devastating blow to Homes Under The Hammer buyers after grim discovery READ MORE: The property featured a side passage and outbuilding, both sporting dubious roofing. Owain questioned whether specialist asbestos contractors would need to tackle both roof structures. A further hazardous problem within the house was an unauthorised electrical connection he discovered in the smaller second bedroom, reports Birmingham Live. The questionable cable had been routed into the upstairs room from outside the property and featured an attached plug. Owain identified this electrical hazard positioned beside the radiator beneath the main window. Owain was concerned about the roof tops Owain exclaimed: "Ohh, now look at that plug," before continuing: "If there's one thing that sets off warning signals for me, it's a stray cable protruding from a wall with a plug on the end of it." He went on to caution: "Of course, you don't want to plug that in and switch it on, get that checked out and see exactly what it is." Despite these concerns, property developer Asin managed to secure the house for £125,000 at auction. Owain was also concerned about a dodgy looking plug Speaking to cameras alongside his father-in-law Saline, he remarked: "Very pleased to be fair, quite a good purchase, I reckon. We've done quite well." Asin predicted the renovation would require just four to five weeks with his father-in-law Seline serving as head builder on the scheme, supported by his crews. The pair had a substantial £35,000 budget available and it became a family enterprise with their spouses also taking on crucial responsibilities including legal documentation and administrative tasks. The family hoped to incorporate the property into their existing rental collection in the locality and had no intention of selling. Asin purchased the property at auction for £125,000 (Image: BBC) Seline and his crew grafted tirelessly to renovate the property to an excellent standard and crucially within the five-week deadline. Delighted with the result, Asin declared: "We did quite well, it was done within five weeks and we brought it all in at about £22,500, mainly due to the contingency being set as the house was already in good condition and no major upsets were found." Not only did they complete the project punctually, but they also managed to come in significantly under budget. An estate agent has verified that they could put the property on the market for a substantial £180,000 – which would equate to a pre-tax profit of nearly £33,000. Asin and his family, however, were inclined to include the property in their rental portfolio. The estate agent projected that they could charge a monthly rent in the range of £900-£1000. Yet Asin revealed they were set to receive even more than that estimate. He declared: "We put it up for £1100 and I think we've got it."

EastEnders icon announces retirement after years in early BBC iPlayer release
This article contains spoilers for tonight's episode of EastEnders, which airs on BBC One at 7.30pm or can be streamed now on iPlayer. A fan-favourite EastEnder has decided to call time on their prestigious job in the Walford community. I am, of course, referring to Bridge Street Market's chief inspector Mr Lister (Nick Wilton), or Bob to his mates. Not like he has many – he's ruffled many a feather during the last 17 years. That could all come to an end in upcoming scenes, however, as the busybody has announced his retirement. Mr Lister is often seen ensuring the locals have a market license, disciplining the traders and being a general nuisance. He has been a recurring presence in the show since 2008, and has appeared in 61 episodes. Viewers will remember that at one point he developed somewhat of an inappropriate affection for Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) After asking her if she was single, he commented that the lot of her life could be closer than she thought. The two then had lunch together, with Lister flooding her with compliments. He even said she could drop the formalities and start calling him Bob! At the time, she'd just split up from Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick), and he tried to suggest that she'd be better off with an older man. Luckily, Finlay Baker (Ashley Byam) came to her rescue, stepping in to announce that they were a couple. Last year, amid Junior Knight's (Micah Balfour) plans to redevelop the market, he announced his intentions to retire. He wouldn't even support the residents campaign to save the institution. However, the late Martin Fowler (James Bye) convinced him to stay in post and help fight. In tonight's episode, Honey excitedly told Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) that she may have a new job on the horizon. More Trending She's Lister's second in command, but is eyeing up his position post-retirement. Let's face it, she's pretty much the perfect candidate! But does this mean the end of Mr Lister's time in Walford? Could he still pop up from time to time? View More » EastEnders airs these scenes at 7.30pm on BBC One.

"Uh oh... made a mistake here," one fan on social media said. While another fan assumed the same and said: "Someone scheduled this for the wrong time", to which another viewer responded with: "Was thinking the same. Thought the first reveal was going to be on The One Show this evening". Another fan said: "Thought they weren't supposed to be announced until after 7PM on the One Show". And another viewer remarked: "So much for ' tune in from 7pm ' ???", with another questioning: "Wonder if someone put timer on Facebook as 8am instead of 8pm !?". Fans expected the Monday evening reveal after the official Strictly Come Dancing Instagram posted on Sunday evening (August 10) that the news would debut on the BBC One show. The video showed excited pro dancers learning the reveal was on the way, with a caption that read: "It's happening!
