‘I’’m happy

BEING SINGLE’

After being linked to Niall Horan, Neighbours’ Olympia Valance talks relationships and swapping Ramsay Street for LA

I

t’s been a whole year since we last caught up with Neighbours star Olympia Valance and the drama is as hot as ever on Ramsay Street.

Her character Paige has become a mother to son Gabe, but his dad Father Jack is off the scene. After pairing her friend Elly with Mark, Paige fights her feelings, but she can’t deny he’s her crush.

If that wasn’t enough, there’s a murder mystery to deal with and missing sister Piper fights for her life, lost in the outback. Poor Paige!

“I think Paige is quite resilient,” says Olympia. “She’s been through a lot in her life. She’s almost got married and had a baby in a shack.

Whatever happens, she’ll be OK.” Away from Ramsay Street, the rumour mill has been churning about Olympia’s secret dates with One Direction heart-throb Niall Horan after she posted a picture of them on Instagram.

“We are quite close.

I see him when I come to London and he sees me when he’s in Oz,” Olympia explains.

“We’ve known each other for a couple of years now.

He spends a lot of time in Australia with his cousins.”

Here, the actress, 24, chats to TV Life about Neighbours, beauty secrets and visions of a soap-free future…

How is Paige dealing with motherhood alone?

Paige is part of a broken family and Jack isn’t 4 TV LIFE

coping with her relationship with Mark. It’s the happy family he always wanted and he finds it hard to watch that from afar. Paige and Mark have had their hurdles, too.

They’re finally together, but there was a love triangle with her friend Elly.

Mark’s in trouble, too, isn’t he?

That’s right.

Hamish has been found murdered and Mark is a suspect.

Paige and Gabe are the last thing on his mind at the moment. He’s really worried that he might go to jail. He’s keeping Paige in the dark and that has a bad affect on their relationship.

Is there any more drama to come?

Oh yes. Paige’s sister Piper is pushed off a boat and almost dies. It’s such a good episode.

We’ve been out to the location with the crew.

It’s down the coast in Victoria. It’s so beautiful, despite Piper being on the verge of death.

Are you at all similar to Paige?

After being here for four

years, my character can morph into me sometimes. I watch myself on screen, but I’m so not ready to have a child. I’m happy being single and I don’t want to get married yet. Our lives aren’t similar at all.

You’ve become an auntie again. Doesn’t that make you broody?

It’s such great news, but Holly is at a very different point in her life. I’m only 24. I’ve got too much to do before I take that step.

Is it true that you might leave Neighbours and head for Los Angeles?

Of course I think about the future and challenging myself with something else. If it were to happen, I’d love to film something that wasn’t a soap. But at this stage I’m loving my job. I don’t want to leave.

If and when the time comes, what would you like to happen to Paige?

I’d like to have a happily ever after.

She’s been pushed around by the men in her life. The only true happiness she’s felt is when she had her child. It would be nice to see her with a man that could love and protect her, whether that’s Mark or Jack or anyone!

What are you up to in your personal life at the moment?

I’ve just been on holiday. I’m having a chill time right now as my job gets quite exhausting. I’ve planned a few more holidays for the end of the year.

I’m resting up now but I hope next year will be a massive year for me.

What beauty products do you swear by?

MAC Face And Body Foundation.

I carry it with me everywhere. It’s so light and gives me a natural look.

What are your go-to cosmetics?

Lip gloss and moisturiser. I always like my skin to look dewy and – I hate this word – moist. I have a huge make-up kit. It’s ridiculous how much I travel with – hundreds of brushes, mascaras and lipsticks. I use them all.

‘I’d love to film something that wasn’t a soap. But at this stage I’m loving my job’

Do you wear make-up every day?

I get a full face of make-up every day because I work in television. If it’s just a normal day, I’ll put a bit of MAC Face And Body Foundation in my hands and apply it like a moisturiser. When I’m on holiday, I hardly wear any make-up at all. It feels so good.

What’s your top beauty tip?

I have a trick that I use if I get pimples.

I learnt it by watching drag make-up.

If you create little dots over them with an eyebrow pencil, they look like freckles instead.

Do you diet?

I have to keep to a routine because I’m on TV. I love feeling healthy.

I eat a well-balanced diet but I’m a huge foodie, too. I will treat myself now and then.

How do you stay in shape?

I go to the gym. There’s a place called F45 in Australia. There’s one in London Bridge apparently. I use the app to choose a time and smash out a 45-minute session.

Is there a part of your body you would change?

Probably my hands. I have chubby fingers. My sister Holly has beautiful, dainty fingers. Mine are rough and stumpy.

Above: As Paige with Mark in Neighbours

Celeb chat Would you ever consider going under the knife and having cosmetic surgery?

Maybe when I get old and wrinkly, but at this stage, no.

What’s your signature fragrance?

My go-to perfume is Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel.

Which women do you think are naturally beautiful?

The most beautiful woman I know is my mother. She’s so beautiful on the outside, and even more beautiful on the inside. She’s the most generous, kind, giving person I know. If I turn out like her, I’ll be a very lucky lady.

If you had to describe your style, what would you say?

If I’m on the red carpet, I like a daring and dramatic look. I like to take risks. My everyday style is classic.

Do you have a favourite shop that you turn to when it comes to buying clothes?

I always get overwhelmed when I go into the high-street stores. I bought a jumper from H&M while I was in Greece this year. Instagram went wild for it. It was £10!

What about designers?

I really love what Gucci’s doing at the moment. I also love the classic style of Chanel. The pieces I buy I will keep forever.

Who are your style icons?

My number one is Olivia Palermo.

She finds the perfect balance between being original and creative while remaining effortlessly chic. I also love Monica Rose, the stylist. She uses lots of brands that people don’t know about.

Have you had any fashion disasters you can tell us about?

There was one in the UK on the red carpet. You could see my boob tape.

It was a bit embarrassing but I didn’t care too much. It could have been much worse.

How do you pamper yourself when you get time off?

I like to go to the Crown casino in Melbourne. Me and my girlfriend go to the spa for a massage and a facial, have lunch at Nobu then watch a movie at the cinema.

What’s your favourite hairstyle?

An effortless beachy wave. It’s really, really hard to achieve.

My hairdresser in Melbourne, Lauren Mackellar, nails it. I try to do it myself and it’s impossible.

‘I’m aterrible

HOARDER!’

Corrie’s Sair Khan has a passion for fashion on and off the Street

Describe your style…

Casual with an edge.

Which colours and shapes suit you best?

Black is my signature, but I embrace vivid colour in the summer, especially tropical prints, and I like my accessories to be colourful. Style-wise, I prefer body skimming and fitted shapes.

What do you think of your character Alya’s wardrobe?

I really like it. She did fashion at university so she’s got a great eye.

Also, because she’s so determined to make it as a businesswoman in the fashion world, she wears fantastic statement accessories and quite edgy styles. She is much bolder than I am in her clothes choice, but I like that because she’s so different from me.

Have you any particular favourite pieces from Alya’s wardrobe?

She has some lovely, unstructured silky jackets in soft, feminine colours but I’m not so fond of her A-line skirts.

Which is your favourite era when it comes to fashion?

Definitely modern-day because you can mix contemporary pieces with elements from other interesting periods.

Above: Her studded holdall and purse and the cowboy hat are all from Zadig & Voltaire, her fragrances are Jo Loves Pomelo and Creed Aventus For Her, while the sunglasses are by Tom Ford

Do you have any favourite highstreet brands?

Topshop – for my high-waisted Joni jeans – plus Zara, New Look and River Island.

Who is your favourite designer?

I’m not really into designer fashion, although I do love Zadig & Voltaire for their studded accessories and leather jackets, plus Tom Ford for sunglasses. If I’m splashing out, it would be Rag & Bone, and if money were no object I’d go to Céline.

Do you have a style icon?

Zoë Kravitz. She always looks phenomenal on the red carpet – effortlessly chic with an edge.

What is your best beauty secret?

Good skincare. My favourite brand is Rodial. All the sales staff know my name in Space NK. Are you a hoarder or do you clear out your wardrobe each season?

I’m a terrible hoarder. It’s a trait I’ve inherited from my mum. All my wardrobes are filled to bursting and I have clothes scattered all over the place.

Are you a fan of vintage?

I don’t consciously look for vintage, but if I spot something I like which has been pre-loved, then I’ll buy it.

How many shoes and handbags do you own?

About 60 pairs of shoes and about 30 handbags. My favourites are my Bottletop bags, made from recycled bottle-tops, which generate funds for good causes in Africa and Brazil. One day I’ll probably buy a designer handbag but I don’t have the urge right now.

Have you any good pieces of advice about fashion?

Wear the clothes, don’t let the clothes wear you. Looking good is all about feeling confident.

Is there an “old favourite” you turn to in a wardrobe crisis?

An oversized, black, vintage mohair coat by Murray Brothers of Scotland.

If in doubt, I’ll dress top-to-toe in black and wear the coat on top.

How much do you spend on clothes each month?

From £50 to a few hundred pounds.

It really varies.

What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? And your best bargain?

My studded Sandro jeans, which fit like a glove and cost a few hundred pounds, are probably the most expensive. My best bargain is an Adidas T-shirt.

I wear it all the time so I’ve definitely got my money’s worth.

What is the oldest item in your wardrobe?

A Fred Perry jacket I bought when I was 17. It cost about £60 or £70, a lot of money to me at the time, but I’ve worn it to death. I still love it.

Who would you like to make your wedding dress?

Bridal designer Suzanne Neville.

I wore the most gorgeous two-piece by her to the NTAs, so she’d be top of my list.

Do you have a favourite little black dress?

Not really, but I have a lot of lovely little black tops, which I wear with high-waisted, black-coated, skinny Topshop Joni jeans.

What is the one item of clothing you couldn’t live without?

A black Topshop biker-style leather jacket. I wear it with just about everything.

Which is your favourite piece of jewellery?

All the rings I have collected over the years. They have been with me through so much – good times and bad times.

What is the most crushing remark anyone has ever made about your clothes?

Someone once said that I shouldn’t wear culottes because my legs are too short, but it hasn’t stopped me wearing them.

What item of clothing would you save from a burning house?

My Fred Perry jacket – for all of the memories.

Bloke chat

en Fogle is back once again meeting all kinds of people who have decided to live “off the grid” in his sixth series of New Lives In The Wild.

In the show we meet families and individuals who have left the rat race for a quieter life in some of the most rural locations in the world. Ben, 43, shot to fame back in 2000 on reality show Castaway and since then has presented shows including Countryfile and Animal Park.

Here, Ben tells TV Life all about his new series and why he’s not afraid to get a bit of breast milk in his eye…

spending time with don’t have phones or email, so it’s a huge amount of legwork. It takes a whole year. We do a series of eight and this series takes us to Australia, New Zealand, all over, so it is a massive amount of time. It is quite an investment of time and emotion but I think it’s worth it.

I love the series, I am really proud of it, and the fact that it is in its sixth series hopefully is testament to the fact that other people like it as well.

Did you have a favourite place from this series?

That’s so hard. It’s the same crew who have done nearly 40 of these now so it’s our favourite game to play which life would you embrace? Which person would you go to live with? I don’t know if there is a favourite, but I’ve got highlights. The Canadian story is amazing. It’s called Freedom Cove off the west coast of Canada and they made an island that floats in the middle of a bay, 50 miles from anywhere, in the middle of the Canadian wilderness. I think there are elements of all of them that I love and would embrace myself, but I haven’t found one yet that ticks all the boxes.

Maybe in series seven, which we are already starting, perhaps it will happen there.

Do you live in London?

Yes, very much so. I am away for seven or eight months of the year and it works very well because it is where my family, my wife’s family and our friends are. My wife is very happily settled in London and I think the main reason why we stay there is because I am away so much.

I think it would be a little thoughtless of me to take my wife to some remote area with my family and then abandon them there while I traverse the world making television shows.

So do you like city life as well as country life?

I do. I love London. I am city born and bred. I was born literally within sight of Marble Arch. My father has an urban veterinary clinic just off Baker Street. I think London is the greatest city in the world. I love the melting

‘If someone tells me to put Six series of a TV show breast milk in is pretty impressive. my eye to cure What do people love an infection, I’m about New Lives In happy to give The Wild?

I think it is a mixture it a go’ of escapism and what I would call wilderness porn.

It’s this idea that you can look and see what people have done in all sorts of corners of the world. So it’s a mixture of aspiration and escapism, but also, in times where the economy is tight and people are worried about money, safety and security, New Lives In The Wild strips that all back and shows that we could all have a simpler, easier, safer life.

There must be lots of effort and planning involved. How much of your year is spent on this?

It’s the team behind it really that do a massive amount of the work. Can you imagine finding these individuals?

A lot of these people who we end up

pot of London. I like the fact that there are people from all over the world and there’s food from all over the world. I still have a big smile on my face whenever I come back to the city. But it only lasts for about five days to be honest, and then I get itchy feet and get ready to go off again.

How do you refer to yourself? As an adventurer?

I don’t know! I have just published my ninth book, called English, and writing is a huge part of what I do. So if I had to describe myself using my proudest terminology, it would probably be “writer”, because I failed all my exams. But I have also just got a new role.

I was in New York where I was made United Nations Patron Of The Wilderness and that for me, I think, is almost how I’d like to describe myself now. That will

be on my gravestone! I have spent 25 years travelling extensively all over the world doing expeditions and adventures and I feel I have a really good understanding now of the wilderness and the pressures that we humans are putting on it. I’d like to describe myself as an activist now. I’ve taken so much from the world on my travels that I’d like to give back a little.

You’ve got a knack for generating headlines – from finding Ed Miliband’s “Ed Stone” to using your sister’s breast milk to cure an eye infection. Have you ever Googled yourself?

I would be a complete liar if I said I had never Googled myself. That is an admission everyone has to make at some stage, partly to keep an eye on whatever is out there! But no I don’t look at all of it. There are certain things that capture people’s imaginations. The “Ed Stone” one was bizarre. I still don’t know how I was the only diner in the whole restaurant to have noticed. I find that one a little stranger than all the others.

But I live life. I seize opportunities.

If someone tells me to try some breast milk in my eye to cure an eye infection, I’m very happy to give it a go. And I don’t mind sharing that with people!

You’ve admitted to eating army rations at home if you’re by yourself.

Does that mean you’re not really a cook?

I’m a terrible cook. My wife is a very good cook, which I think has been my downfall. She’s happy to embrace all the cooking – that means I have become lazy. I love my food but I have no patience for it. It’s one of my weaknesses – a terrible inability to cook!

Winter is coming

Sunny California has surprisingly majestic winters

W

hen you think about California, the mind is instantly drawn to an image of palm trees and golden beaches, but the state has much more to offer than just that.

North America’s third biggest state has a landscape that covers all seasons and does so with style. Without leaving California, you can embrace the ultimate US road trip, cruising through national forests, desert plains and the tallest mountain ranges in the west.

Around five hours’ drive from Oakland International Airport, which has direct routes from London on low-cost airline Norwegian Air, you will come across the quaint alpine town of Mammoth Lakes. With an

elevation of 2,400 metres, the drive up to Mammoth is spectacularly scenic.

Winding roads of towering pines give way to snowy peaks and postcardworthy log cabins.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

WORDS: HELEN WRIGHT PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES

When the snow has fallen, Mammoth is home to some of the best slopes for skiing and snowboarding. Mammoth Mountain carries over 400 inches of annual snowfall, so pros with their own kit can show up and show off.

There is also a ski school on site for beginners or anyone who needs to brush up on their skills.

For those who want to reach the peak and admire the views, a gondola operates year-round from the foot of the mountain. In the summer months when the snow has melted, the area becomes a mecca for hiking and mountain biking and the adrenaline-filled Mammoth Motocross is held here annually.

Venture out to the neighbouring areas of June Lake and Mono Lake, which are the definition of true beauty spots. Hike through the alpine meadows and dip a toe into the crystal clear mountain lakes and streams left by the melting snow.

18 TV LIFE

Weather Shuttle (mawshuttle.com) to explore the lakes and stunning landscapes that surround Mammoth Mountain. Be sure to grill the drivers for as much information as you can – they are experts and, mostimportantly, superfans of the area.

When you reach the Twin Lakes in Mono County, have your Instagram at the ready as you won’t be disappointed.

Before you leave, refresh and replenish at Ohanas395 (ohanas395.com) and the June Lake Brewing Co – a food truck and a local institution serving Hawaiian-style grub and craft beer to complement.

WHICH STARS MIGHT I SEE? Pop star Pink and her Motocross star hubby, Carey Hart, are usually in town every year for the festival. Gwen Stefani has visited, and Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles have also been spotted enjoying a holiday on the slopes.

Apparently, Kendall opted to snowboard while Dunkirk star, Harry, was said to skillfully whizz down the mountain on skis.

WHERE CAN I EAT AND DRINK? Eat with the locals at pancake joint Toomey’s, surrounded by baseball memorabilia in true “Yankee” style (toomeysmammoth. com). If you can’t choose between the fluffy French toast and the famous coconut pancakes, you may need to find time for a second visit.

For dinner, try the Smokeyard in Mammoth Village.

On the menu you will find ribs, pork chop and BBQ-chicken cooked on an open grill. Large portion sizes will keep your energy up for a busy following day on the mountain (smokeyard.com).

If you fancy a drink or two, the Mammoth Brewing Company (mammothbrewingco. com) has craft beers with mountain views and the food here is pretty fantastic too.

Above: see rainbow Falls in the san Joaquin river

One of the cosiest places to bunk in Mammoth is The Village Lodge (thevillagelodgemammoth.com), a traditional alpine resort nestled at the foot of the mountain. The hotel has apartment-style rooms with small kitchens and living spaces, ideal for families or small groups. Friendly staff can help you plan your days outside exploring the area. And, for when you want to come back and chill at the lodge, there’s a large outdoor heated pool, hot tub and bonfire for toasting s’mores while drinking hot chocolate.

WHERE CAN I RELAX?

Unwind in a different way by horseback riding through the sierras to Rainbow Falls, a tumbling waterfall in the San Joaquin River. A two-hour ride with Red’s Meadow Pack Station (redsmeadow.com/horseback-rides) costs $68 (£53) per person. Finally, make sure to toast to your unique stay in California at the après ski cocktail bar midway up Mammoth Mountain.

HOW DO I GET THERE?

Norwegian Air fly non-stop five times per week on a brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner between London Gatwick and Oakland International Airport, which is also 35-minutes’ drive from downtown San Francisco. Fares start from £155 one way in Economy and from £500 in Premium Economy at norwegian.com/uk, or call 0330 828 0854. Self-drive to Mammoth by renting a car from alamo.co.uk. For more info, see visitmammoth.com and mammothmountain.com.

Check out this cosy and chic seaside bolthole, perfect for a weekend away

Location: Set down a quiet cobbled side street just off the seafront, the Hotel Du Vin is a short stroll from Brighton Pier and the famous shopping lanes.

First built by a wine merchant in 1695, the hotel is spread across several quirky Gothic-style buildings.

Bedrooms: There are 49 rooms and suites all with super soft Egyptian cotton bedding, fluffy robes, plasma TVs, Nespresso machines and monsoon showers, all individually decorated and timelessly stylish. We stayed in the spacious Beachy Head junior suite which boasts a stunning original feature fireplace. The room has a comfy king-size bed, roll-top bath positioned in the bedroom’s bay window and twin monsoon shower in the bathroom. There’s also a well-stocked minibar and a great selection of complimentary toiletries.

Restaurants & Bars: The buzzy bistro is a popular choice for locals and hotel guests alike. With its leather booth seating and stylish décor, romantic candlelight in the evening and great service, a meal here is a real treat. Starters of smoked salmon and classic French onion soup kicked off our

meal perfectly. Then we shared a melt-in-the-mouth chateaubriand steak with chips and spinach. Too full for dessert, we opted for espresso Martinis before heading to the sleek bar. Breakfasts of ham, cheese and mushroom omelette and avocado on sourdough with poached egg and bacon were a great start to the next day. There’s also a buffet selection of juices, granola, yoghurt and pastries to choose from. In good weather, you can dine or enjoy drinks al fresco in the vine-covered courtyard or on the balcony.

Facilities: Fans of cigars have the pick from the hotel’s humidor, while wine lovers will enjoy a trip to Cave Du Vin for a tasting or private event. The hotel also hosts weddings in the stunning Dome. The Pub Du Vin next door is a more relaxed place to enjoy a tipple and traditional pub bites. There’s also free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.

Fact file: Prices start from £119 per room, per night. You can also enjoy a two-course meal and a bottle of Hotel Du Vin’s French wine for two people for £39.

8pm, BBC1 As much as we still love The X Factor, we must confess we’ve been recording Sunday night’s episode to watch on another night. That’s because we cannot tear ourselves away from the brilliance that is this second series of Blue Planet. Tonight, we are sailing away to the green seas where competition is fierce. It’s the sunlight that is responsible for powering large kelp forests, mangroves, prairies of sea grass and blooms of algae. But to survive, animals have to fight for space and grub. In kelp forests, a common octopus has to become the ultimate escape artist to avoid its

nemesis, the pyjama shark. Also, the Garibaldi damselfish defends its seaweed garden from marauding sea urchins as sea otters prove an unlikely friend. On prairies of seagrass, tiger sharks play a game of cat-and-mouse with green turtles while in shrubby meadows of seaweed, a vast army of spider crabs emerge from the depths for an annual mass moulting, while trying to avoid being eaten by massive stingrays up to four metres long. Finally, male Giant Cuttlefish compete for a mate – while a smaller male wins by pretending to be female. ★★★★★

NEW SERIES

Paul Hollywood: A Baker’s Life / Nigella: At My Table

8pm, Channel 4 / 8.30pm, BBC2 We might have waved goodbye to the silver fox on The Great British Bake Off for another year, but that’s not all we have seen of Paul Hollywood. Because he is back fronting his own programme on his favourite subject of baking. Paul may have risen to fame as the meticulous critic and judge in the institution that is GBBO, but he’s a master baker by trade. So in this new series, he follows in the footsteps of his dad and grandfather, who always earned their crusts through baking bread. Travelling down memory lane, Paul visits the kitchens that inspired him and the chefs

who taught him. And from his Merseyside roots to the Bake Off tent he will be cooking some brand new treats and looking back over the recipes that represent moments in his life. Meanwhile, have you ever wondered what to have for brunch or a quick supper? Well over on BBC2, Nigella Lawson has the answer. In this penultimate episode of her series, she has a trick or two up her sleeve involving French toast, then comes up with a Mediterranean dish for dinner. And for dessert, how about a rose and pepper pavlova with strawberries? ★★★★✩

The Robot Will See You Now

10pm, Channel 4 People with worries on their mind have been writing to problem pages in newspapers and magazines for years. More recently, we ask Siri and Alexa to do things for us like tell us the weather or play music.

In fact we are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence for everything in many parts of our lives.

But just how far would you trust a robot to help you find solutions to the most intimate problems that you might be facing? In this fascinating documentary, a team of AI experts are on a mission to find out. In fact they have even come up with a robot of the future to

discover how much they might one day be capable of understanding. And as the AI gets more advanced, they examine just how far we might be willing to go to let it into our most private thoughts. A team of experts from Manchester and Plymouth Universities have worked together with the aim of answering some of these questions and have come up with Jess, a personal assistant robot. And in this experiment, she offers people advice on everything from marriage to divorce, infidelity and obesity. And Jess isn’t afraid to put her spin on the big issues. ★★★★✩

MasterChef: The Professionals

8pm, BBC2 It’s the last week of the heats so these are the last six chefs to battle it out in order to make it through to the next round. Tonight’s first task is Marcus’ skills test in which the contestants have got to cook up a storm in front of judges Monica, Marcus and Gregg. The chefs have 20 minutes to prove that they have the skill and technique to cook rose veal sweetbread. The added challenge is to serve it with a garnish and sauce. And in a true test of their palate and understanding of the flavours, they’ve got to know their offal inside and out. Sweetbreads need lots of TLC in the kitchen to be

cooked to perfection. But can the chefs rustle up a melt-in-the-mouth dish for the judges or will they struggle to impress? Then the six chefs have one last chance to use their style, technical skill and flair to wow the experts in the signature dish challenge. In one hour and 15 minutes, the heat is dialled up as they try to create a tried-and-tested dish of their own which will be enough to win them a place in the next round. Once the judges have tasted their dishes they have to decide which three chefs will go home and which will return for the last quarter-final. ★★★★✩

Bargain-Loving Brits in Blackpool

8pm, Channel 5 Cold Feet’s John Thomson continues his narration duties for this final episode of the series following bargain-loving Brits living twice the life for half the price in Britain’s favourite seaside resort. First off, we meet old favourites Graham and Ian at Raffles and discover that the couple have a unique approach to hotel running. They have been welcoming guests for 24 years, but the work is full-on and it is taking its toll on their relationship. So they’ve made a huge decision to – shock, horror – sell up! However, while they host a wedding and spiritualist night, they get some bad

news. Will they still be able to wave goodbye?

Elsewhere, Sue, Pam and Irene met on the site of Merlewood Caravan Park and live in their caravans for 11 months of the year. They love the local pub and community spirit. And this week finds them preparing for the park’s annual summer barbecue. But with Pam behind schedule preparing food, will it be a success? Also this week, hotelier Martin has an unusual hobby – his guest house is full of Punch and Judy memorabilia. And he is determined to keep the famous British tradition alive. ★★★✩✩

Britain’s Greatest Bridges

8pm, Channel 5 Bridges aren’t always the most fascinating things.

They’re practical, they help us get from A to B a lot quicker and we probably take them for granted most of the time. But we will be looking at them differently today, thanks to Rob Bell’s fascinating series about the history and construction of the country’s iconic bridges. In this final episode of the series, he takes a look at the British bridge that changed the way modern suspension bridges are built. Opened in 1966, the mile-long Severn Bridge was the first road structure to connect England and South Wales by

spanning the Severn estuary, one of the most dangerous waterways in Britain. An ill-fated 19th-century railway crossing had previously existed over the Severn and Rob reveals the failures in engineering that led to the downfall of that earlier bridge and the advances that now enable suspension bridges to safely cross vast expanses of water. He explains how designs for the new overpass were tested in wind tunnels and how an aerodynamic box girder deck was created to completely revolutionise bridge design to what we know today. ★★★✩✩

Strictly Come Dancing

7.05pm, BBC1 Ant and Dec, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, cookies and cream – some things were just made for each other. And tonight’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing is all set to prove that point as the sparkly sequinned routines pay tribute to Hollywood. Yes, it’s time for a musicals theme as Borehamwood meets Broadway.

Our amiable hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be welcoming the remaining six celebrity couples back on to the dance floor to perform a bunch of routines from hit stage shows. And with so many to pick over the last 80 years, who will be showcasing

what? The competition is certainly mounting because those still left are desperate to guarantee their spot in the contest as the final draws near. And always ready to critique the couples are the judges Shirley Ballas, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood. The voting lines will then open and it is down to us viewers to save our favourite duo from the dance-off. Be sure to watch tomorrow night’s results show to not only find out who is going, but to see musicals stars Beverley Knight, Amber Riley and Cassidy Janson perform. ★★★★★

It will take more time than expected to master a concept or skill.

Devote a few hours each day to your studies. Your sacrifices will pay off.

A person who was pretending to be your friend will be revealed as a jealous rival.

Beware of talking about your private life in front of this individual.

This is a money-oriented time. You may have to live on a tight budget to be financially secure.

Plan to pay off any outstanding debts by a certain date. If you have no money worries at the moment, start planning your investments and pension plans. Don’t be a lender or a borrower.

This isn’t a good time to sign an agreement. The terms will be too strict.

Resist the temptation to overhaul your look. You won’t be happy with the results of an image update, makeover or clothes shopping trip.

Save your hard-earned cash for those pleasures and pastimes that bring long-lasting happiness.

Cut back your hours at work – it’s taking a toll on your health. Instead of imagining a disastrous future, assume you will benefit from taking time out.

Let an attentive friend or romantic partner shower you with affection. Opening yourself to grace will be therapeutic.

A creative block is distracting you.

A breakthrough could occur while you’re doing laundry, making dinner or just cleaning the house. A tense encounter with a friend makes you reconsider the relationship. It may be impossible to collect money that was loaned quite some time ago.

Your relatives expect you to follow their example, regardless of your needs.

Be willing to march to the beat of your own drum, even at the risk of their disapproval. If this means leaving a job that makes you miserable, do it. There’s a chance you’ll make a name for yourself on a new platform.

You’ll get disappointing feedback about a project. These criticisms will be harsh but accurate. It will take several attempts before hitting on the winning formula. If you fall short of your goal, you’ll come away with experience.

A lucrative job will be offered when you least expect it. Accept with a happy heart.

Money is tight. It’s time to reconsider your job.

Pursuing a more lucrative line of work may be the best way to get out of this frustrating situation – draw on your creativity and it will give you great pleasure.

Prepare to fall head over heels with a fellow dreamer. Do you have a partner? They’ll give you a lovely surprise.

No matter how many great ideas you have, they won’t take flight.

That’s because you’re dealing with overly cautious people. Try not to take out your frustrations on a loved one. By asking for their support, you’ll overcome this difficult situation.

Buying a new home or taking a solitary vacation could be on the cards.

You’ve been bottling up your feelings, causing stress and upset. Find a healthy outlet for these emotions. Don’t be surprised if a customer or client complains about your work.

Nothing you do will please them. Let off steam at a social gathering. Your friends will soon have you laughing again.

A narrow-minded acquaintance makes you feel bad about your choices. Instead of trying to win their approval, keep your distance. Learning to recognise haters will make your life easier.

You’ll soon be offered a wonderful job. That’s not because you are lucky, it’s because you are gifted.

Having a talk with your employer will be enlightening. You’ll realise that you’re getting nowhere. Instead of quitting in a huff, start looking for a new job in your private time. This is a great time to go on an audition, submit your work for review or perform at a show.

Swallow your fear and step into the spotlight.
