** I SERIES PRODUCED THIS SERIES AND WAS NOMINATED FOR A ROYAL TELEVISION SOCIETY NI 2023 AWARD **

The award-winning transformational dating series returns to challenge single beauty queens to strip away their picture-perfect image in pursuit of love. 

Former Miss Great Britain and now make-up artist to the stars Gemma Garrett was the original single beauty queen and credits the experience with helping her realise the road to true love starts with self-love. Now she’s hoping she can help four brand new self-confessed beauty queens discover the same by taking part in a dramatic 'make-under' to expose their natural beauty before heading off on a series of dates with five specially selected – and completely unknown – suitors. 

While the featured girl enjoys the dates, the three remaining girls, and Gemma, follow the action from the safety of the sofa, providing supportive and humorous commentary throughout. 

The series kicks off with 25-year-old Lisa-Marie, a skincare specialist and entrepreneur from Rostrevor who loves to look glam. Full of fun, she’s looking for someone to share her ambition and passion for life with, but will stripping off her make-up to meet five perfect strangers lead to total trauma… or true love?

Hosted by Eamonn Holmes and introducing Michelin star chef Danni Barry and food critic Joris Minne as judges, Farm To Feast: Best Menu Wins is a cookery competition celebrating award-winning produce from farms and fisheries across Northern Ireland.

Seven amateur cooks move into a castle in Fermanagh, where they live with and compete against each other, until one is crowned the winner.
Episodes one to four begin with a reveal of two key ingredients, from which each contestant creates a menu comprising one small and one large dish. Danni and Joris pick their favourite three, determining the identity of the three cooks who will battle it out in the kitchen. Those not picked observe from the sidelines and get a chance to try again next time.

All three cooks prepare their small dish. The judges pick their top two, inviting the cooks who made them to prepare their large dish. The cook behind the judges’ favourite secures a place in the semi-final. The others rejoin the group to try again.

Which cook will come up with the most mouthwatering menu and delicious dishes worthy of being declared the 2021 overall winner?

Male pattern baldness affects around half of all men by the age of 50, typically starting in their late twenties to early thirties. It can be a hugely traumatic life event because most men refuse to talk about it. The urge to ‘man up’ and the fear of being seen as vain or vulnerable means a lot of guys simply suffer in silence. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Now help is at hand in the Barbershop for Bald Men. We meet Bryan, Matty and Jason.

Bryan started losing his hair in his late twenties and believes it has robbed him of the confidence to start dating. Matty started losing his when he was just 18 and went on to have a failed hair transplant a few years later. Jason, who also happens to a barber, despairs at spending his days surrounded by mirrors, working on the very thing he wants most. They share their stories about their hair loss before undergoing an astonishing transformation.

Kéris Weir, hair stylist to the stars, fits each of them with cutting-edge hair replacement systems – and the haircut they’ve been longing for. Will they love their brand new hair or decide to finally accept that bald is beautiful?
