Junior Bake Off Channel 4, 5pm
After an underwhelming main series, the unblemished junior version returns for a fourth run, with Harry Hill the perfect host and Liam Charles and Ravneet Gill sympathetically critical judges. The first batch of bakes includes a sponge classic and a showstopper reflecting what they would do if they became Prime Minister.
Love Island ITV2, 9pm
Already? The ninth series – the first of two in 2023! – begins as another group of photogenic romantics start their journeys towards influencer infamy. Maya Jama takes over from Laura Whitmore as host, while Iain Stirling remains the familiar narrator and South Africa once again the venue for this winter outing. Loved and loathed in equal measure by different corners of the British public, Love Island’s hold over ITV2’S scheduling shows no sign of abating any time soon.
