TV tonight: take it off! Take it off! It’s The Masked Singer final

Moth, Toastie and Conkers battle it with their microphones. Plus, the story of Sarah Ferguson’s former dresser who was found guilty of murder. Here’s what to watch this evening

The Masked Singer

7pm, ITV1

Moth, Toastie and Conkers are your three wonderful finalists! Harry Hill, Kate Nash and John Lydon have all been revealed and kicked out of the competition so far – but who are the celebrities behind the last masks? And who will be crowned the winner? Samantha Barks is the guest judge, and former faces Lionfish, Pufferfish and Snail all return for three one-of-a-kind duets. Hollie Richardson

Sailing the Shipping Forecast With the Rev Richard Coles

7pm, Channel 4

It’s a lovely, if mildly Partridge-adjacent, concept for a series. Coles has the charm to pull off this nautical journey as he journeys around the beautiful, weatherbeaten northern reaches of the UK. He’s in the Faroes: line fishing, visiting a foodie hotspot and meeting a doom-metal band. PH

Gladiators

8pm, BBC One

It’s the last round of the preliminary heats, as contestants battle to make it through to the quarter-finals of TV’s most sweatily Lycra-clad game show. Apollo is back on the Duel podium as part of the five events that the contestants need to beat, so expect a fair few bruised and battered participants. Alexi Duggins

The Great Icelandic Swim With Ross Edgley

8pm, Channel 4

The ultra marathon man-machine continues his sea-swimming odyssey in northern Iceland and things get pretty grim: storms in the Arctic lead to enormous waves and wounds caused by sea-salt expose him to the risk of cellulitis. Fascinating, and best appreciated from a very comfortable sofa. Phil Harrison

The Roman Empire by Train With Alice Roberts

9pm, Channel 4

You’ve heard of Pompeii, but Herculaneum, seven miles south of Naples, was also buried by the volcanic eruption. It’s here that Alice continues her adventure, searching for scrolls in the city’s hand-dug tunnels. Then it’s on to the town of Capua where a cult worshipped the bull-slaying god Mithras. Ellen E Jones

Crime of Passion? The Trial of Jane Andrews

9pm, Channel 5

An interestingly-timed upcoming drama starring Mia McKenna-Bruce and Natalie Dormer tells the story of Jane Andrews, the royal dresser for Sarah Ferguson who was convicted of murdering her millionaire boyfriend Thomas Cressman in 2001. This documentary looks at the real story, with access to witnesses and the prosecution. HR

Predator: Badlands, out now, Disney+

Director Dan Trachtenberg continues his resurrection of the 80s sci-fi monster franchise with this Elle Fanning-starring banger. Though the series began eight movies ago, with Arnold Schwarzenegger on the run in the rainforest, Badlands is the first Predator movie to feature an actual Predator (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) as protagonist. He’s travelled to a distant planet to prove his mettle, by taking on the Kalisk, the only creature in the universe Predators are afraid of. But he won’t survive without his android guide Thia (Fanning). Ellen E Jones

Romancing the Stone, 3pm, Film4

Screenwriter Diane Thomas was working as a cocktail waitress in Malibu when she wrote this surprise box office hit, a rollocking rom-com jungle jaunt which has it all: man-eating crocodiles, lost treasure and Danny DeVito in a panama hat. Kathleen Turner stars as Joan Wilder, a lonely Manhattan romance novelist who travels to Colombia to rescue her kidnapped sister, falls in love with an exotic bird smuggler named Jack T Colton (Michael Douglas), survives several mudslides, dances a flirtatious fandango and – all in all – has the adventure of a lifetime.

The Taste of Things, 9.35pm, BBC Four

Skip the Valentine’s Day restaurant booking and treat your beloved to this filmic feast instead. French-Vietnamese filmmaker Tràn Anh Hùng (The Scent of Green Papaya) won Best Director at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival for this study of a slow-simmering love affair between French gourmand Dodin (Benoît Magimel) and his cook, Eugénie (Juliette Binoche). They spend their days at Dodin’s country estate, dreaming up new dishes with which to wow his coterie of dining companions, who meet regularly to admire Eugénie’s artistry as well as her beauty. Hung’s unhurried camera savours every delicious morsel, but alas, even a nine-course meal cannot last forever. EEJ

Bone Lake, 9.30pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

Diego (Marco Pigossi) and Sage (Florence Pugh lookalike, Maddie Hasson) arrive at their large, lakeside holiday rental, only to discover it’s been double-booked by Will (Alex Roe) and Cin (Andra Nechita). After a brief, awkward interaction, the two couples agree that a) the double entendre of the resort’s name is hilarious, and, b) they can amicably share for the duration of their stay. But this is a fast-paced, erotic thriller from horror-flick director Mercedes Bryce Morgan, so it won’t stay amicable for long. EEJ

Alfie, 12.55am, Sky Cinema Greats

The existential ennui of the serial seducer is explored in this swinging sixties classic. Michael Caine stars as the titular cockney charmer, who takes women into his bed – and us into his confidence – with regular, fourth-wall-breaking chats. Alfie’s “avin a beautiful little life” until the consequences of his own actions catch up with him. It’s at this point that the saucy sex comedy develops a social-realist conscience, given voice by that Cilla Black theme song. EEJ
