At 3pm, former Pop Idol judge Nicki Chapman, 57, returns to the airwaves with a new instalment of I Escaped to the Country.

The hit property series follows those who have found success on the series ‘Escape to the Country‘.

Here, viewers will get to see the lives of people who found their dream rural home and how their lives have been transformed.

In the upcoming edition of the hit BBC One show, Nicki returns to the West Country to catch up with two families in Somerset.

Less than an hour later, the sixth series of The Bidding Room starts at 3:45pm.

Former Coronation Street actor Nigel Havers, 73, and a group of sellers from the public will attempt to get the best price for their forgotten heirlooms.

Five dealers also take part in the series as they aim to buy items at the best point.

According to the programme description, forthcoming items include a mannequin, a set of magic tricks, football pinball, a phonograph and a pair of teddies.

At 4:30pm, The Travelling Auctioneers will then make its way onto screens for the debut episode of the third series.

Former auctioneers Christina Trevanion & Izzie Balmer, TV presenter JJ Chalmers, and restoration maestro Robin Johnson all travel across the UK with their auction house on wheels.

The group go on the road to attempt to help families in the country cash in on their forgotten treasures.

In the upcoming edition, presenter JJ Chalmers will try and restore a sideboard for once couple who have been forced to downsize their home.

After receiving a life-changing medical diagnosis, the pair have to sort through 40 years of collectable items.

This is as Izzie finds remarkable memorabilia as she uncovers a huge collection of model cars, vintage tins and enamel signs.

Although three new shows are coming back onto the BBC, ITV is also bringing back its own huge show.

Good Morning Britain anchor Adil Ray, 50, will make a comeback to the airwaves with his hit gameshow, Lingo.

On the format, contestants from the public can win thousands of pounds just by guessing, at times, the simplest of words.
