SARA WALLIS TV Columnist and Feature Writer 18:00, 03 Jun 2025 A new episode of Who Do You Think you Are? is airing tonight (Tuesday 3 June) on - BBC 1 with Pop Idol star Will Young delving

back into his family history. So far this series, we've seen First Dates star Fred Sirieix, comedian Aisling Bea and Strictly's Layton Williams uncover lost connections and

unfamiliar histories as they trace their family tree. Fans can expect to go on an emotional journey with the singer as he starts by researching his paternal granddad, who he never had the

chance to meet. Elsewhere, fans can dig their teeth into a sweet treat as Bake Off: The Professionals continues, and The One Show host Matt Baker kicks off his new series... PICK OF THE DAY

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?, BBC1, 9PM One day, Will Young ’s descendants will boast that they are related to the first ever winner of Pop Idol. But Will has no idea what he’s going to find on

his own journey into his family’s past, apart from his fanciful hope that he is secretly a Viking! Will starts by researching his paternal granddad, Digby, who he never had the chance to

meet. He discovers a young man who studied medicine at Oxford University, but spent most of his time competing in swimming races at the pool. After enthusiastically signing up to the RAF

Reserves, Digby fought in World War Two, before being captured as a POW after his plane was hit and suffered engine failure. It was an experience he rarely talked about later in life, and

the more Will learns, the better he understands what a traumatic ordeal it must have been. There’s one particularly incredible story of Digby’s heroic efforts within the POW camp that takes

Will’s breath away... Later, Will picks himself up from Digby’s emotional story to research another branch of his family tree. He’s shocked to discover his 18x great grandfather Hugh Le

Despenser was one of the most contentious figures in 14 th century politics, who owned Goodrich Castle in Herefordshire. It gives Will a spring in his step to visit a family castle, but he

soon learns of his ancestor’s malicious abuses of power, which made him a villain of the court. Luckily there’s another twist to come, as Will discovers a link to Medieval royalty. Article

such as praline and chocolate ganache. Tonight, exacting judge Benoit asks the teams to create a batch of these gorgeous treats, with 24 immaculate examples that look and taste identical.

They must also serve up 24 uniform fruit tarts, but Cherish wants the pros to completely reinvent the classic dessert, so they won’t look anything like the jam tarts you made at school. Just

to crank up the pressure, this is a particular favourite for Cherish, so she’ll be even more critical than usual (we didn’t think it was possible). Tonight’s showpiece has a Japanese zen

garden theme, and the judges are looking for roll cakes that will feed 24 people. Standard Swiss rolls aren’t welcome here, so expect complex creations with flavours that burst through the

screen. MATT BAKER’S BRITISH ISLES, MORE 4, 9PM The former One Show host is launching a new series, celebrating the best of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. But he’s not

looking at the scenery – this programme is all about the people who make Britain special. Starting in Kent, he discovers the local vineyard owner making fine sparkling wine, giving French

champagne producers a run for their money. Then, it’s off to the Highlands for something completely different, as Matt swaps anecdotes with two former farmers, who are at the heart of their

community as a chaplain and a fiddler. The music theme continues in Northern Ireland, where Matt meets a man who makes stunning acoustic guitars for world-famous musicians. Then it’s off to

the Rhondda Valley in Wales to visit a buried Victorian railway tunnel. The dedicated locals have grand plans to turn this two-mile long passageway into a walking and cycling route that

would be the envy of Europe. DIDDY IN PLAIN SIGHT: UNTOLD, C4, 11.05PM In 2024, shocking CCTV footage was released, showing rapper Sean Combs (also known as both Diddy and Puff Daddy)

appearing to assault his girlfriend, singer Cassie, in a hotel. It triggered a wave of new allegations including sex trafficking, which have left the hip hop world reeling. This documentary

charts the performer’s rise and fall, and talks to people who have spent time with him over the years, including his former bodyguard. They reflect on why it took so long for accusations to

surface. EASTENDERS, BBC1, 7.30PM Peter and Lauren’s relationship is hanging by a thread. Peter takes Jimmy to a hospital appointment on his own after Lauren stayed out all evening.

Meanwhile, Lauren and Honey have a candid chat. Cindy worries the re-launch of The Albert is going to be a flop when she hears about disappointing ticket sales. Her attempts to build buzz

for the event go wrong when she gets into a row with Elaine. Article continues below Kat negotiates with Cheeky to get her limo business up and running. JOIN THE MIRROR’S WHATSAPP COMMUNITY
