What to watch on TV on Monday 10 June, from Olivia Attwood to Bake Off
IF you’re looking for some new telly to get stuck into this evening, there’s a whole host of brilliant shows hitting our screens for the first time.
And for anyone who hasn’t streamed Love Island star Olivia Attwood‘s latest foray into documentary making, here’s your chance to watch it on free-to-air TV for the first time.
Here are TV Mag’s six telly picks for Monday 10 June 2024…
Olivia Attwood: The Price Of Perfection (10.05pm ITV2)
After deep-diving into the world of selling sex online, reality star-turned-documentary maker Olivia Attwood returns with this five-part series – which launched on ITVX earlier this year – exploring cosmetic procedures.
In tonight’s episode, she gets an incredibly graphic glimpse at a surgical facelift and meets a woman who’s having filler injected into the tip of her nose in the hopes of creating a doll-like look.
Eye-opening viewing.
Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace (9pm ITV1)
The team at Long Lost Family have helped foundlings – people abandoned as babies, often in the first days and weeks of their lives – uncover incredible discoveries about their identity over the years, and Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell are hoping they can help solve even more unanswered questions as the series returns.
In 1965, Thomas Yeo was left at Reading railway station when he was two weeks old.
After having his own children, he began to wonder about his birth parents.
Incredibly, the team finds a DNA match to a first cousin, but in a surprising twist of events, it’s revealed that she too is a foundling and was left outside a church in Dublin just hours after being born.
An emotional watch.
Continues tomorrow and Wednesday.
Bake Off: The Professionals (8pm C4)
After an entertaining James Bond themed intro, the real action kicks off as hosts Liam Charles and Ellie Taylor welcome the first six teams of pastry chefs to Britain’s toughest patisserie competition.
Things get off to an exciting start, as judges Benoit Blin and Cherish Finden task the teams with baking 36 identical tarte aux fraise – aka strawberry tarts – and a chocolate amenity, then it’s time for the chefs to shine as they create a music-themed illusion showpiece with hidden pecan pies.
As always, there’s a lot of pressure, but the bakes are very impressive.
Continues tomorrow.
Morning Live (9.30am BBC1)
Britain’s most-watched live magazine show is back for more.
Gethin Jones is here for most of the week, with Helen Skelton and Michelle Ackerley alternating alongside him from Monday to Wednesday.
Kym Marsh presents on Thursday, while Sara Cox and Rav Wilding are amongst Morning Live‘s guest hosts.
As ever, there’s experts aplenty, plus consumer campaigns fighting your corner.
24 Hours In A&E (9pm C4)
We’re back with the medics of Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham – one of the busiest A&E departments in Europe – to catch up with the frenetic goings on over a day and night shift.
Milky, 38, has been brought in with potentially life-altering injuries after coming off his motorbike at speed.
Meanwhile, adventurous dad Shaun damaged his ankle when landing awkwardly while skydiving with his teenage son, and little Coby has swallowed an unknown object.
Abandoned Engineering (8pm Yesterday)
Decaying relics and disused buildings are endlessly fascinating, so it’s no surprise that this is series 13 of Abandoned Engineering.
Every unused shell featured on this show has its own unexpected story to tell, and tonight’s examples are no exception.
How does an enormous Russian-style cathedral complete with onion domes – but located in rural Japan – sound?
Or how about an Eastern influenced and fantastical crumbling palace in Florida built from a story book?
