Rhona (Pierce’s ex-wife, who he raped on their wedding day back in 2017) is tearing her hair out over the local copper not taking her reports of stalking seriously, and Paddy saying they need more evidence before they can accuse Pierce of killing Graham. Meanwhile, the penny finally drops for Charity, who assumed her beloved was in France and ignoring her. If only – there’s not a baguette in sight where Vanessa is being held hostage by Pierce. Indeed, Vanessa’s forced to watch as Pierce prepares to be “reunited” with his ex-missus, but she manages to make a video call to Rhona, who’s horror-struck to realise where her friend is – and, more importantly, who is keeping her company. Poor Rhona is utterly errified, while Vanessa is sickened as Pierce mplies tha t he intends to harm Johnny, and ells her she has now “served her purpose” gulp …). Back home, Charity discovers Vanessa’s passport and boarding pass are still at Jacob’s Fold and panics, determined o track her fiancée down.

MASTERCHEF
NEW SERIES AMATEUR COOKS BATTLE IT OUT STARTS MON 2 4 FEB , 9 PM, BBC 1 Just when y ou think the talent pool of ama teur c ooks has been w ell and truly drained, along c omes another 60 folk who are so amazing in the kitchen tha t Gregg W allace is wondering if “back ground checks” need to be made on them, in case the y’re secretly professionals masquerading as ama teurs… In episode one , w e’ve got “T hree Sauc e P ete”, who has Gregg intrigued b y his fancy wa ys with a jus. T here’s also Teddy, who w ants his o wn gas tropub, and Amanda, who used to be a fashion journalist and no w has a w ay with edible flo wers. L et’s c ook!
G REGG A ND J OHN:
‘It t akes u s time to g et us ed to e ach o ther’
Gregg Wallace walks into the room chuckling over an anecdote and John Torode falls about laughing. We’re here to talk about a new series of MasterChef , this year marking 15 years of a beautiful bromance…
t’s se ven w eeks since friends and TV present ers Gregg and John las t met. You’re going t o ea t really good food and meet ne w people who ha ve one goal –t o be an ex cellent c ook.”
“We don’t see each other during the break in filming, but w e t ext, and w e might phone ,” e xplains Gregg, 55. “It tak es us time t o get back int o the rh ythm again. At first, w e’re a little bit polit e – lik e when y ou firs t meet y our in-law s –but aft er a da y or so he’s abusing me , y ou kno w, lik e blokes do.” John adds, “It only takes me until about three in the afternoon before I’m like, ‘Don’t touch me!’ We’re not scripted, and it probably takes a day for Gregg to remember that anything could happen, and he’s just got to go with it. His life is more planned than a planned person’s planned day, on Plan Island, with a diary. For me, the start of a new MasterChef is the most exciting time of the year. It’s ace. John, 54, is looking tanned and c ontented. It ’s four months since he married actress and TV presenter Lisa F aulkner, and Gregg is quick t o share a quip about their special da y –referring t o ho w the c ouple met on the set of Celebrity MasterChef ten y ears ago . “I w as at John’s wedding and I looked at the bride and thought, ‘I recognise her from a previous competition!’”
Closer’s Hannah meets the boy s... Chuckling, John adds, “She was a really good c ook!” Do the y tak e the job home with them ? John has a rule where he doesn’t talk shop with Lisa ( she might not agree with who he’s sent packing on the show), whereas Gregg –who has nine-month-old bab y Sid with wife Anna –reckons he is a “ self-obsessed TV presenter who talks about himself a t length” aft er hours (L OLs). One tip , though – if you’re ever cooking for the boys, stay away from scallops. “I am so bored of them,” groans John. “And if I see another piece of duck in celeriac purée… Really? Come on!” Gregg, however, is easier to please. He tells us, “Mint sauce, mashed potato, gravy…. If it’s wet and brown, then I normally really like it. Just give me food you can eat with a spoon…” By Hannah Wright
AND THERE’S MORE…
● The food is serv ed a t room
temperature. John e xplains:
“You don’t actually ea t hot food –y ou jus t think y ou do .”
● In a da y’s filming, the y can
eat up to ten dishes each...
● Neither ha ve their o wn
MasterChef aprons! John
was “ne ver giv en one”, while Gregg c ooks in “ tracksuit
bottoms and a T-shirt.”
● John’s dad had an orange

HOW TO HAVE A BETTER ORGASM
“INTIMATE” INTERVIEWS HERE
THU 27 FEB, 10PM, CHANNEL 5 In the case of 81-year-old Bearte, it’s
been a decades-long journey to achieve
bedroom satisfaction. “Sex definitely
gets better with age,” she smiles. Seven
women give intimate interviews about
their experiences of the Big O. From
it alone – no stone is left unturned. ell us about y our charact er, Mary… She’s an old friend of V ivien [Francesca Annis], and the y liv e ne xt t o each other, in tw o houses on the beach. V ivien’s husband died some 18 months before, and now this story is happening because of Mark, Vivien’s new partner. She’s a little bit overprotective of her friend, and she’s finding out if anything dodgy is going on… This was filmed in Eastbourne. Did you get any downtime? I was in that sea at 7am one Sunday morning! It was gorgeous – and boiling, as we filmed this last summer. I like a bit of a swim – it was lovely. I’m an only child, and I like doing things by myself. We’d all go for dinner, but you respected each other’s privacy if you needed to take yourself off and be quiet. T

We travelled to work together on three days, and we were completely over-excited. But we never got to do any scenes together – he was at the opposite end of the dining room to me. We didn’t even get a stolen look – but it was very nice to do all the publicity together. By Hannah Wright

ON-DEMAND TV & DVD
Out week! this
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
AVAILABLE ON DVD/BLU-RAY OUT 17 FEB
This sequel sees Angelina Jolie’s dark fairy,
in full cheekbone-and-red-lipstick mode, attend the wedding between goddaughter
Aurora (Elle Fanning) and a dishy Prince Philip (a weird concept, we know). Bad
guys need battling, souls need searching, and families are never straightforward, are
they? Ange is on good form, joined by a top supporting cast, and the costumes are
divine. There’s sometimes too much going on, and the action may not suit very little
ones, but it’s still a great family flick.
Hunters
Hunters looks intense. Amazon Prime’s AVAILABLE ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO OUT 21 FEB
new series is all about a bunch of Nazi hunters in ’70s New York, searching for
Third Reich criminals in the city. Al Pacino, fresh off Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman , plays a Holocaust survivor, who joins Jonah (Logan Lerman) to seek revenge on some nasties who killed his grandmother. All episodes will be released at once, so settle in with a curry for some bloody action and exciting thrills.
The Guest List (LUCY FOLEY)
On a remote island, wedding celebrations are well underway. But the cake has barely been cut
when one of the guests is found dead. As a storm unleashes its fury, the attendees are trapped,
leaving everyone scared and wondering who the murderer is. But they all have secrets – and
a motive… This is a book worth cancelling plans for. We couldn’t put it down.
BEST DAY OUT

Research UK. This year, there are over 380 events to take part in, including 5Ks and 10Ks,

challenge, take on a Pretty Muddy event. This 5K obstacle course is, like the name suggests,
pretty muddy! All challenges are suitable for people of any ability and age, but most
importantly, you’ll be raising much-needed money to fund life-saving cancer research.

REVIEWS
THE CAST
Emily Beecham,
Ben Whishaw, Kit Connor
THE STORY
A scientist
develops a new plant
designed to give feelings of
happiness, but people start
getting sinister side-effects.
THE VERDICT
Brilliantly
shot and carefully paced, this spooky film leaves a shiver down the spine. Be warned, it’s quite arthouse, but the perfect colour scheme and an excellently restrained cast make this worth sticking with.
CERT 12A, 105 MINS, OPENS 21 FEB
Greed
THE CAST
Steve Coogan, David Mitchell,
Isla Fisher, Asa Butterfield, Shirley Henderson
THE STORY
A slimy British retail magnate (can
you imagine such a guy?) throws himself a lavish
60th birthday party on a Greek island to deflect
attention from a business crisis back home.
THE VERDICT
Coogan excels in this biting
satire of the super rich, playing a shady tycoon similar to real-life public figures. The film’s got heart, too, as it has a poignant message about the effects of globalisation on the third world.
