TV tonight: why did Germanwings flight 9525 crash?
9pm, Sky Documentaries
It has been 10 years since the awful incident of the Germanwings Flight 9525 crash in the French Alps, in which all 150 passengers and crew were killed. The French public prosecutor's office determined that the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, who had been treated for severe depression, deliberately crashed the plane. But this is still questioned. In this documentary, experts and journalists piece together what happened. Hollie Richardson

H&M is selling a £20 dupe of a £1,500 Prada bag and it's the perfect accessory for your summer holiday
H&M's new summer tote is a dupe for a popular designer bag - and it's a fraction of the price The Straw Tote bag is available in a range of colours, with its beige version being branded a dupe for the Prada Crochet Tote Bag. 4 4 But while the Prada bag costs a staggering £1,500, H&M's similar alternative costs just £19.99. A description on H&M's website reads: "Tote bag in braided paper straw with handles at the top." The bag is unlined, weighs just 272 grams, and has a height and width of approximately 35cm making it the perfect size for all your summer essentials. Its stylish design features a holed crochet pattern, with a closer knit at the bottom to ensure your belongings stay secure. It is embellished with 'Amour Paris'. The bag is also available in a red and dark brown design, adding a pop of colour to liven up your outfit. With a 4.8 star rating, the bag is clearly a hit among shoppers. One wrote: "Lovely summer bag. Also good as a beach bag. "Not too big but can carry a towel, flip flops and a few other essentials easily." Others described as "perfect for summer" while another said that it "looks a lot more expensive than it is." The summer trend dividing style queens - some call it a 'girl's best friend' but it brings back bad memories for others Its more-expensive Prada comparison is similarly sized, and is available in natural (similar to beige), and olive green. With a slightly more structured shape, the key difference between the bags is that instead of 'Amour Paris', the designer counterpart reads ' Prada Milano '. This is adorned in a triangle at the centre of the bag, rather than at its base, giving more space for the looser knit design also featured on the £20 dupe. A Prada product description reads: "This crochet tote bag has a soft, deconstructed shape and boasts a light, summery mood. "A new interpretation of Prada's emblematic triangle decorates the front and is embellished at its centre with the embroidered lettering logo." 4 4 It's part of a wider collection of crochet bags designed by the luxury fashion brand - which includes a card holder for £1,020, and a mini bucket bag for £1,760. A similar compact-sized shoulder bag is available as part of the H&M collection for just £19.99. They also have a smaller version of the shoulder bag at just 22cm tall, available for the same bargain price. Eager shoppers can snap up the summer bargain both online and instore. It's great for pairing with the rest of H&M's Summer 2025 collection, now available while stocks last. Why you should always buy a dupe over designer... Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend says it's time fashion snobs stopped looking down their noses at affordable versions of designer buys. Bargain US supermarket Walmart became a social media sensation when its £60 dupe of Hermès' Birkin bag, dubbed the Wirkin, went viral. Influencer @styledbykristi gushed: "Eighty dollars (£60), you can pretend that you got a Birkin. I mean, everyone will probably know it's not, because who the hell has the money to spend on the real Birkin? Not me.' Me neither. And why bother? I would never spend that on a designer bag (although if someone wants to buy one for me, that's a different story). Plus, if I splashed that much, I'd feel I was being ripped off... We've all been told how the leading brands use the finest leather, thread, dyes and craftsmanship in the world. But all that is inflated by fashion houses to create the desired illusion of exclusivity. Just last year, Dior came under investigation for paying £44 to assemble a bag that sells for £2,000. So while you might think you are paying for top-level craftsmanship carried out by a true artisan, chances are the poorly paid workers are not seeing any of your hard-earned cash. Dupes — not to be mistaken for knock-offs that copy everything from the logo to the inside label — are a more practical and all-round sensible way to go. I bought my first when I was 18. It lasted me four years and only broke after I wore it in the shower. And these days, British high streets have plenty of dupes. In the past three years, Marks & Spencer, H&M and Mango have all seen huge spikes in sales thanks to their canny copies. They use the same viral, must-have marketing tactics that pricey brands have. Fashion folk will tell you that you are making an investment and buying a 'heritage piece' and will turn their noses up at a high street equivalent. But we've been wearing looks inspired by catwalk designers for decades. If we can buy a bag that's the spitting image of the pricier version, but doesn't mean you have to remortgage, why not?

BBC viewers say 'I gave it a try' as they 'switch off' Death Valley within minutes
BBC viewers say 'I gave it a try' as they 'switch off' Death Valley within minutes The third episode of Death Valley aired on BBC One on Sunday evening, and it was safe to say that viewers were far from impressed Death Valley: Official trailer Death Valley's third episode left some viewers "switching off" on Sunday night. The episode, which aired on Sunday (June 8), saw John Chapel (portrayed by Timothy Spall) and DS Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth) investigating the premature death of a best man, reports the Express. However, it seemed to attract attention for all the wrong reasons. One disgruntled viewer took to social media to vent their frustration: "What on earth is this s*** #DeathValley. "No wonder everyone is talking about it... It's utter drivel and woke toboot. Refund the BBC if this is the best they can s**t out." Another chimed in, " I heard it was bad, but jeez, it's horrendously bad. The lead lady is so irritating, and the script is chronically unfunny. It's a new low for BBC Sunday night viewing, absolutely horrendous." Death Valley was swamped with complaints (Image: BBC ) Article continues below One viewer even admitted to turning off the programme, stating, "Caught up with #DeathValley on BBC1. I love stuff staring Timothy Spall but just had to turn off after a few minutes due to the awful co-star detective played by Gwyneth Keyworth shouting all the time. She must be one of the most annoying TV characters ever." A fourth viewer echoed these sentiments: "I'm on the third episode of "Death Valley" - I really gave it a try, but it really doesn't get on me. I can't stand the main characters, they are cringe... in general I really like those shows, but this I'll skip and that Ludwig will return soon." (sic) Someone else declared: "#DeathValley on BBC1 is one of the worst programmes I've ever sat through!". Despite the mixed reviews, Death Valley drew in nearly three million viewers on its debut (Image: BBC ) In contrast, some viewers expressed their enjoyment of the series, with one spectator stating: "I know a lot of people seem to enjoy slagging off #DeathValley, and I admit that when I saw the initial trailer, I thought it looked poor. "However, having binged the series the other day, I can quash my original reticence & say that I loved it. Daft, funny, cosy & Welsh." Another added: "Enjoying #DeathValley too. It's Sunday night viewing and I remember 'By the Sword Divided' and 'The Pallisers' so this is quite fun." The third episode of Death Valley aired on BBC One on Sunday evening (Image: BBC/BBC Studios/Simon Ridgway ) Amidst varying opinions on Death Valley, the BBC has shared the impressive viewer statistics following the show's premiere at the end of May. Article continues below The first instalment of Death Valley, broadcast on 25 May, pulled in an audience of 2.9 million on its first showing on BBC One, firmly establishing it as the most successful debut for a new BBC Scripted Comedy in the past five years – even eclipsing the launch figures for Ludwig, which aired last September to 2.8 million viewers.

GMB's Richard Madeley reveals horrifying injury live on air after falling over on holiday in France
GOOD Morning Britain anchor Richard Madeley sparked fan concern after returning to the ITV series with a hugely painful injury. The former This Morning frontman, 69, was back on-screen alongside Susanna Reid, 54, for Monday's episode. 6 6 Yet fans of the early-morning show were left worried after noting the broadcaster was clad with a huge cast on his right arm. The white plaster support could be seen peeking out of Richard 's smart black suit as he fronted Good Morning Britain from his regular spot on the desk. Others also noted his voice sounded husky and "digitised" amid his injury woe, which he outlined at the top of the show. Susanna said: "Richard you better explain," to which he replied: "I thought you were going to say did I have a good break!" After the pair giggled, he continued: "It's a double fracture of the wrist. "I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose. "It flipped up and it flipped me forward and I thought am I going to win or will gravity win? "And gravity won and I hit the ground hard. "So yeah I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes." After issuing a supportive "aww," Susanna then quizzed: Is it sore at the moment?" The brave host said: "I'm not discussing the pain threshold we just don't think about pain." One ITV viewer took to X to write: "Awww Madeley has an owie." A second put: "Is Richard channeling his inner Keith lemon this morning with his bandage?" The Sun has gone to GMB for comment. Last week, Ed Balls fronted the show alongside mum of three Susanna. TOUGH TIME The injury comes amid a rough time for Richard and a slew of ITV broadcasters. It comes amid a huge shake up of the daytime TV offering at the channel. We were first to report how veteran journalist Richard was facing the axe after crunch talks with telly bosses. In May, sources say Richard was told his contract, worth a reported £300,000 a year, would not be renewed on current terms when it expires in December. He hit back and negotiated a new deal with bosses — but it will mean a significant cut in his hours and pay. A source said: 'This one has really rocked the ITV corridors because Richard is such a big name and a legend of daytime telly. it became apparent Richard had a meeting with the network's most senior bosses and he's now being kept on in a more part-time role. 'He's got himself back on the show — but his hours are significantly cut.' Richard made an unexpected return to daytime telly in 2021 after Piers Morgan left GMB in a row over Harry and Meghan. He had co-hosted ITV's This Morning with wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years from 1988 to 2001. They had been the golden couple of daytime telly and it was thought both were happy to enjoy retirement at their homes in London and Cornwall. But Richard made a shock return to the screen as ITV bosses brought him in as a regular joint presenter on GMB with Susanna. He quickly established himself as a popular face on the breakfast show, building up a warm rapport with his co-host and taking on the main male anchor role. TV SHAKE UP Former MP Ed is set to be kept on, despite some viewers criticising the show for having a conflict of interest when he has been interviewing his former Labour political colleagues. Ed, who became a presenter on the GMB rota in 2022, has been pulled out of the studio in recent months when there is an interview with his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, leaving Susanna to do it alone. ITV bosses announced that Lorraine, shown on weekdays from 9am to 10am, would air on just 30 out of 52 weeks from next year. GMB will also be extended. 6 6 6
