Michael McIntyre's Big Show - 8.10pm on BBC One

Who will Michael be winding up this time? Josh Groban, it would seem!

He will also play Unexpected Star and The Midnight Gameshow. We can't wait!

Sunday 9 December

I'm a Celebrity finale - 9pm on ITV

It is finally time to find out who will become King or Queen of the jungle! With just Emily, Harry, Fleur, James and John left, it is anyone's game! Of course, on Sunday the final three won't be able to get away with making it to the final without having to do their last few challenges… and we can't wait to see what the show bosses have in store.
