For this sixth season, A League Of Their Own: Road Trip is heading to Mexico for their next epic adventure.

Along with regulars Jamie Redknapp, Jill Scott, Micah Richards and Mo Gilligan, there's friend of the show and super substitute Maisie Adam (below).

It's Red vs Blue and, as ever, the teams will compete in a series of sporting and cultural challenges in a bid to avoid the series forfeit. But - for the first time ever - it won't just be the team captains doing it.

In the first leg of their Mexican journey, Jamie, Jill, Micah and Maisie learn how to wrestle Lucha Libre style before battling it out in front of seventeen thousand passionate fans.

They put their make-up and fashion skills to the test as they prepare for the Mexican tradition of Day of The Dead, and they also get their first taste of some traditional Mexican food, drink and Mariachi.

Sheridan Smith headlines a five-part thriller created by Ben Harris, which has been adapted from Lucy Clarke's best-selling 2021 novel, and originally shown on Paramount+.

Sister Erin (Celine Buckens) and Lori (Smith) are looking forward to a holiday of a lifetime in the tropical paradise Fiji but a blazing argument between the siblings ruins the mood.

Erin doesn't board the plane to their resort and Lori never arrives at her destination. Months later, the fate of the island-hopping flight remains a mystery and Erin is desperate for peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, Lori's credit card is used at a shop and CCTV footage captures the unmistakable image of the plane's pilot that fateful day, Mike Brasse (Brendan Cowell).

Erin vows to unravel the mystery of the missing flight but the shocking truth about the crash could lead to murder.
