Following two hugely successful series of Amanda & Alan's Italian Job, best friends Amanda Holden and Alan Carr are back for Amanda & Alan's Italian Job and yes... you guessed it, this time they're heading to the sun-kissed hills of Andalusia to embark on their first ever Spanish renovation job.
Getting into the swing of the Mediterranean lifestyle, Amanda and Alan are ready for a summer of sunshine, sangria and plenty of DIY – with a little bit of chaos thrown in for good measure!
Hoping to breathe new life into one of the region’s forgotten villages, Amanda takes a gamble on a run-down three-storey townhouse and convinces Alan to join her in a lifelong dream of transforming it into a boutique B&B.
In a bid to push their DIY skills to a whole new level, the best pals visit Granada’s architectural marvel and the pinnacle of Moorish design – the Alhambra Palace. But with over 2,000 square feet to contend with, a roof in need of repair and a crumbling outbuilding on its last legs, it dawns on them that they may be in over their heads.

FINAL EPISODE
THE TRAITORS
Friday 24th January at 8.30pm on BBC One
This series of The Traitors has been just as brilliant as the two that came before, but as we reach the final day of the ultimate game of deception and trust, who will walk away victorious?
They’ve survived every banishment and murder, but it all comes down to today. Will the Faithful weed out all the Traitors and be victorious, or will the Traitors remain undetected, and take the life-changing sum of money all for themselves?
Don't forget that there are also episodes on Wednesday and Thursday (at 9pm) which will see suspicions at an all-time high and the players focused solely on who they can really trust. Plus, on Thursday as the game nears the end, could a huge shift in power change everything?
