The Island with Bear Grylls

Global music legends and coaches Olly Murs, Jennifer Hudson, Tom Jones and will.i.am will return once again to uncover the country’s hidden music talents. In a tense spin on musical chairs, the judges will have their backs to contestants and will only get to see them if they hit their button.
All music styles are welcome so make sure to apply for next year’s series to become The Voice 2019.
Take me Out
The king of dating puns Paddy McGuinness will return to send some cheeky chaps down the love lift and into the arms of 30 single women for the shows 11th series.
The single ladies get to judge the men and turn off their lights accordingly after three rounds showcase their looks, family background and any hidden talents.

5 Gold Rings
Philip Schofield has returned to our screens, hosting the new family game show where every pixel counts. Two pairs will battle it out to win different amounts of money in each round, by placing gold rings onto a super size image beneath their feet, including calendars with missing dates, animals with missing body parts, flags and even maps.
