The Great Celebrity Bake Off
7.40pm, Channel 4

Alison Hammond helps to host her first celebrity Bake Off, with a pretty good group of famous faces. Former Time Lord Jodie Whittaker, Brit winner Paloma Faith, comedian Munya Chawawa and that one from Made in Chelsea, Spencer Matthews, will be battling it out in the tent. First up: cake pops. Then it’s time to recreate Paul and Prue in biscuit form. Hollie Richardson

Inside Classical: Grieg’s Piano Concerto With Zee Zee

8pm, BBC Four

Forget the flailing of Eric Morecambe; lauded Chinese-American pianist Zee Zee is a poised interpreter of Edvard Grieg’s only concerto, accompanied here by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under the baton of Lionel Bringuier. Playful works by Paul Dukas and Rimsky-Korsakov round out the fantastical theme. Graeme Virtue

Death in Paradise

9pm, BBC One

If you thought Death in Paradise couldn’t get any more … well, paradisiacal, think again! This week sees the team split across two outrageously idyllic islands. As ever, though, there’s little time for sunbathing; they’ve yet another murder to solve, as a British tourist dies in (you guessed it) mysterious circumstances. Kayleigh Dray

Celebrity Big Brother

9pm, ITV1

A lot of the intrigue of this reality show disappeared along with Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith. But on it goes, with the third week of constant surveillance beginning to take its toll on the housemates. Expect more bad cop-style trickery as the show increasingly takes its cues from new formats like The Traitors. Phil Harrison

Hunted

9pm, Channel 4

Another series for this vaguely sinister but always watchable contest which mines the extreme surveillance of British citizens for gameshow fun. Can any of our daring dozen elude the hunters for three weeks and win £100k? Look out for a remarkable (and possibly unhelpful) cameo from US singer-songwriter Laura Veirs. PH

Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over USA

9pm, W

“I should have brought some ear plugs … someone’s having a fantastic time.” Dooley stays in a legal brothel in Nevada, to kick off another season of this thoughtful series. She speaks to the owners, courtesans and clients – and strikes up a friendship with 68-year-old sex worker Erica. HR

Film choice

The Ghost Goes West, 2.35pm, Talking Pictures TV

A jolly piece of 1935 British whimsy, which satirises US acquisitiveness but also the British veneer of respectability that hides similar sentiments. Robert Donat doubles up as indebted clan chief Donald Glourie and his 18th-century ancestor, ladies’ man Murdoch, who died a coward and is doomed to roam their Scottish castle as a spirit until he can avenge an insult to his family. Jean Parker is the sprightly American whose rich father plans to buy the place and ship the whole thing to Florida – along with its spooky resident. Simon Wardell
