TV tonight: the bizarre comedy that just gets funnier and murkier
9.30pm, BBC One
Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli's wonderfully bizarre comedy drama gets murkier and funnier as Nic (Cooper) continues to completely spiral. Yes, she is dealing with the emotional turmoil of trying to get away with murdering her extramarital lover and brother-in-law. But she is also doing marriage therapy, worrying about her cat-killing son, Ollie (the awesome Lenny Rush), and oversharing with her fishy friend Jen (Hizli). And all this comes with cracking gag after cracking gag. Hollie Richardson

Steven and Adeola's family have grown out of their three-bedroom house – to the point of using their en suite bathroom as a walk-in wardrobe. Will a £45,000 budget be enough to make necessary tweaks, or is it time to move on? Kirstie and Phil step in with differing ideas. HR
9pm, BBC One
Amanda (Lucy Punch) gets a job! She is helping to sell kitchens in a showroom – but sees it as more of a 'collaboration' with her influencer platform 'Senuous' (no, that is not a typo; she is hellbent on creating a new word). Meanwhile, Anne (Philippa Dunne) becomes a maths tutor and it's Della (Siobhán McSweeney)'s birthday. HR

Could DNA advances help to solve a 1984 case in which a Glasgow woman was found strangled by her dressing-gown cord, after being seen walking home from a pub followed by a man? This documentary covers the renewed hunt for the killer and delves into the original case files, looking at the teams of investigators now and in the 80s. Alexi Duggins

Rev Alphy Kotteram has been naughty. He has enjoyed a night of passion with a student who has promptly disappeared. Worse still, one of her colleagues has been found dead. This slice of Cambridgeshire cosy crime is more scandalous than usual, but, nine seasons in, we can rest assured that all will be well – eventually. Phil Harrison
9pm, Channel 4
After 14 years abroad, Kazal and Eleena have returned to the West Midlands to overhaul a knackered house in Solihull. George Clarke is impressed with their vision of a spacious home ideal for hosting family gatherings. But is it wise for them to live on-site during such a disruptive rebuild? Graeme Virtue
Rob Peace (Chiwetel Ejiofor, 2024), Paramount+
Written, directed by and co-starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, this 'based on a true story' drama undoubtedly qualifies as a labour of love. It traces the youth and young adulthood of an academically gifted New Jersey kid, Rob (a charismatic turn from Tulsa King's Jay Will), whose father (Ejiofor) has been wrongly jailed for murder. It's a film about potential realised and wasted and is tragic but inspirational. Rob adopts various personae – Yale student, property developer, teacher, even Walter-White-style drug chemist – all while pursuing his dad's legal case. Simon Wardell

Amy Childs' concerned pals work out true motive for calling off wedding
TOWIE star Amy Childs' friends are worried about her relationship after she postponed her wedding to fiancé Billy Delbosq for the second time Amy Childs has left friends and fans worried after calling off her wedding to fiancé Billy Delbosq for the second time, sparking rumours of relationship troubles among those who are close to her. The former beautician, who shot to fame on The Only Way Is Essex nearly 15 years ago, became a household name thanks to her larger-than-life personality — and introducing the public to the concept of 'vajazzling'. After a romantic past full of ups and downs, Amy, 34, seemed to have finally found lasting love with Billy, a fellow reality star who once appeared on Channel 4 's First Dates. The couple got engaged in 2023 after welcoming twins Billy River and Amelia Mae. But last month she postponed their wedding again, after already delaying it last year over doubts about whether Billy was truly ready to tie the knot. This latest cancellation has caused speculation that not all is well in their relationship. Friends close to the couple have voiced their fears, with one source telling the Daily Mail: "Billy has always been a player. He's one of the biggest players in Essex…now there are fears that all is not well, that something could have happened between them." Fuel was added to the fire when Amy was spotted in Brentwood looking visibly thinner and not wearing her engagement ring. However, another source close to the couple insisted the pair are still going strong, and suggested she only removed the ring to work out. In the paparazzi snaps that sparked concern, she was indeed dressed in gym gear. However, Amy and Billy were also seen at Stansted Airport on Thursday while en route to Spain for TOWIE filming, looking "preoccupied and unsmiling". One pal admitted: "They usually seem so happy together. This time they looked really down in the dumps, neither particularly looked like they wanted to be there." Behind the scenes, Amy has been privately coping with a family crisis. She recently told The Mirror that her mum Julie, who has also made appearances on TOWIE, suffered from a heart attack in April and had to be rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. She added: "It has been intensely stressful. None of us was expecting Mum to have a heart attack – it turned our world upside down. "It was so frightening. She had a stent put in and was in hospital for six days. She's now home but she's being monitored daily and is on a lot of medication. It's so tough for her – she sometimes struggles to walk upstairs." Amy and Billy made the difficult decision to postpone their September wedding at Cliveden House in Berkshire. The TOWIE star explained: "It's upsetting, but I know we've made the right decision. Right now, we're focused on looking after Mum." In response to the online abuse over her weight loss, Amy hit back, saying: "People don't know what is going on behind closed doors…To be honest I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on – it's the result of pure stress." Despite facing these heart breaking family challenges, Amy is still hopeful that her and Billy will be able to get married abroad next year, and have planned for their kids to play a special role in the wedding. She concluded: "We just want it to be amazing, not rushed."

Two Singapore restaurants are named in the World's 50 Best Restaurants 51-100 extended list for 2025
Every year, we wait in anticipation for the announcement of the World's 50 Best Restaurants to see which establishments from Singapore make it onto this world-acclaimed list. It's never really a matter of 'if', but 'how many'; After all, eating is one of the top pastimes of Singaporeans and our city is brimming with such a diverse line-up of cuisines and dining venues – the perfect representation of the multi-culturalism that we're known for. Ahead of the official announcement of the top 50 on June 19, 2025, the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 extended list of 51 to 100 has just been revealed, and two from this Lion City have been named: modern Australian-style BBQ restaurant Burnt Ends (#93), and Labyrinth (#97) which prides itself on its 'new Singaporean cuisine'. Both Burnt Ends and Labyrinth are no stranger to the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, having emerged at 68th and 92nd place respectively in last year's extended list. Admittedly, this is quite a drop for Burnt Ends in particular, both one-Michelin-star holders will have to work a little harder to maintain their top 100 placings in next year's edition of this food award ranking. This year sees one less Singapore-based dining establishment on the 51 to 100 extended list, with Meta (#95 in 2024) making a disappearance. This can only mean one thing: It's either been bumped up to the top 50, or fallen off the list entirely. Only time will tell. Last year, only one restaurant from Singapore made the top 50 ranking: Odette, one of the two long-standing F&B tenants at the National Gallery that remains after its refresh. The other five, which include rooftop bar Smoke & Mirrors and Cantonese restaurant Yan, have since made a sad exit from the museum. Odette was crowned the Best Restaurant in Asia in 2023's awards. We'll be eagerly waiting to see if it remains in the top 50 global placings this year, and whether any other of our favourite restaurants will be joining the party.

Victoria Beckham suffers another blow as fresh feud emerges amid Brooklyn drama
Fashion designer Victoria Beckham's world has been rocked by her ongoing family drama with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham as the Spice Girls try to put a reunion plan together Victoria Beckham is said to have been wrapped up in even more drama as she comes to terms with her eldest son Brooklyn Beckham distancing himself from their famous family. The fashion designer, 51, has seen her beloved family hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. She has been left hurt by the ongoing feud with her son and his wife Nicola Peltz, that all came to blows when the young couple skipped David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations. Since then, there has been a stark divide in the Beckham clan amid fears there's "no way back" for them. Amidst the drama, it seems Victoria has another issue at hand as her Spice Girls bandmates plan to reunite. The iconic girl group will mark their 30th anniversary next year, with bosses keen to get the band back together. It seems Mel C, Mel B and Emma Bunton are all on board, while Geri and Victoria have taken a little longer to persuade. Reports now claim that Geri is keen for an ABBA-style avatar of the band that will create a virtual show for fans. Victoria is said to have been left out of discussions and would not be part of the virtual band. A source told the Daily Mail:"There will be a Spice Girls reunion and all the details are now being debated by everyone apart from Victoria." They claimed Geri "isn't interested in coming back and doing a tour" but the virtual idea has "tempted her". Their former manager, Simon Fuller, is reportedly the brains behind the new plan. Although Victoria opted out of their 2019 tour, other insiders have said she's open to the new approach as long as all the other members are on board. Another insider shared to The Sun.: 'Simon is eager to pull off one final spectacle with the Spice Girls, and this is his latest brainchild. He was the mastermind behind ABBA's groundbreaking digital shows and believes this strategy would suit the Spice Girls perfectly. "Touring again seems doubtful - Victoria, for instance, isn't likely to return as a full-time member - so this could be their best chance to reunite.' Victoria herself previously voiced support for a virtual Spice Girls residency. When asked on American television in 2022 about the idea, she responded: 'That is a great idea.' However, Victoria received a huge boost this week as husband David is finally getting a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours list next week after year after years of waiting. In her home life, the feud continues to rumble on despite son Romeo Beckham splitting from his girlfriend Kim Turnbull. Insiders have said it would take a 'small miracle at present' for peace to break out between Brooklyn and his parents David and Victoria. It comes as his wife Nicola 's friends previously blamed Kim for them not going to David's 50th. Pals alleged it was because Brooklyn had a brief romantic liaison with her, which was denied by Beckham's friends. 'There are no signs of reconciliation, sadly. There is still a lot of hurt to process,' a source told us. Sources close to Nicola have previously insisted that as 'an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within'. The claims cut deep as a source said: 'It was a low, low can you say such things about your own family. It will be interesting to see if Brooklyn and Nicola make any attempt to heal things now Kim is out of the picture.' The Mirror has contacted the Spice Girls and Victoria's representatives for comment.
