CHANNEL 4 APRIL PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS, NEW AND RETURNING TITLES REVEALED

The new and returning programming airing on Channel 4 this April revealed.

 THE HUNT: PREDATOR VS PREY

Deep in a vast unforgiving forest, contestants are dropped into the ultimate real-world game of hide and seek - where losing means walking away with nothing and winning could mean pocketing up to £100,000. Surviving the game isn’t about being the fastest. It’s about being the smartest.

Each episode is built around a tense, dog-eat-dog hunt, where each player becomes either a Predator or Prey. The Prey hold the cash, desperately trying to protect their winnings while completing challenges to win more money. The Predators must hunt them down and steal their cash. If they succeed their roles are reversed and the entire game flips, with Predators suddenly become Prey.

 VIRGIN ISLAND

The groundbreaking and heartwarming series follows 12 adult virgins, as they travel to a luxury Mediterranean retreat to embark on a unique course in intimacy, to see if it can help them overcome the fears that are holding them back. This warm, authentic and thought-provoking series explores these issues as some of the world’s leading sexologists take the twelve courageous virgins on a unique, hands-on programme, to help them take their first steps towards sex and intimacy. 

 BIG MOOD

It’s been a year since Maggie and Eddie last saw each other, without any contact between the best friends. When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn’t alone - Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney. Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie’s new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever?

 THE DOG HOUSE

The episodes will continue to be filmed at Wood Green, The Animals Charity in Cambridgeshire which takes in hundreds of discarded, disowned or neglected dogs every year. Their staff are committed to matching their homeless dogs with hopeful owners. The new series will follow the strong team endeavouring to find the perfect match for both human and dog.

 THE GREAT CELEBRITY BAKE OFF

Series continues

Each episode, this year’s celebrity bakers will roll up their sleeves and take on the Signature, Technical and Showstopper challenges, all in the hope of impressing the judges and avoiding a soggy bottom. By the end of each show, only one star will rise above the rest and be crowned Star Baker.

Joining Paul Hollywood at the judging table is Bake Off: The Professionals judge, Cherish Finden, an internationally renowned pastry chef, celebrated for her exceptional technical skill and meticulous approach to patisserie. Bake Off hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding also return, on hand to offer encouragement, laughter and a comforting shoulder as the celebrity bakers go head-to-head in the Bake Off tent.

GOGGLEBOX

Series continues

From the Saturday night juggernauts and the week’s big soaps, to documentaries and gritty drama, the Gogglebox households offer witty, insightful, feisty and sometimes emotional critiques of the week’s popular and topical TV shows. Their reviews could also be interrupted by breaking news stories and controversial TV events – subjects the outspoken households certainly won’t be shying away from.

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
