EASTENDERS BBC1 7.30pm and 8.30pm AFTER Rainie launched herself at Max at the dinner party from hell, he now reminds her that they need to focus on getting custody of baby Abi, and they row. Later, Donna shouts at Rainie, questionin­g her ability to take care of a child, which sends a furious Rainie off the rails, lashing out. Her actions certainly won’t help the custody battle.

Elsewhere, Denise and Kush are concerned when Carmel refuses to engage with making plans for Shakil’s funeral. HOST WITH THE BOAST Crude Keith KEITH LEMON: COMING IN AMERICA

ITV2, 10pm IF THE sight of Keith Lemon dressed up as a Kardashian has you rolling around laughing, you’re in for a treat.

If Keith’s antics leave you perplexed and concerned for the state of British television, don’t worry, you’ll have company. This is his latest attempt at entertainm­ent as cameras follow his journey to realising his ultimate dream of hosting his own US chat show.

After all, if James Corden can do it, why can’t he? There are several reasons for that, of course. “I’m on a one-man mission to make American TV great again,” says Keith, the alter-ego of comedian Leigh Francis, although the character has now firmly taken over the longforgot­ten real-life creator.

Anyone who is a fan of Celebrity Juice will know that Keith’s brand of humour is crude, lewd and sometimes excruciati­ng to watch.

But there’s an admirable selfawaren­ess here. At one point, a focus group of Americans in LA watch Keith’s showreel, including a clip of a man licking Marmite from another man’s nipples.

“What the hell was the audience laughing at? It’s just not funny,” says one. “He’s an unfunny white guy, we don’t need more of them over here,” says another.

Other amusing moments include the appearance of Eamonn Holmes as Donald Trump and Keith’s own mum dressed as Kris Jenner. But you may be left cold by less funny sketches, such as a fight between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.

It’s definitely weird...
