TV Guide 2025-05-31

The current series of Got Talent finally comes to an end (VM1 and ITV, Sat). Has the move to once a week for three months worked? Feels like it really drags on. A somewhat sharper series ends, Scotland's Home of the Year (BBC1 Scotland, Mon).

We've also got a new run for Bridge of Lies (BBC1, from Mon), Love Island A Decade of Love celebrates the first twenty years of the show (ITV2, Sun), and fans of The Chase will be distraught at Tuesday's episode (not on ITV, just for one day).
