Eyal Booker, Ferne Mccann, Stephen Bailey, Jordan Davies, Tanya Bardsley and London Hughes say Hey Tracey!
Telly Today: A new month and what’s on the box tonight? Our regular trip to River City of course along with ITV2’s latest quiz Hey Tracey!, cheap scouse houses and some comedy via Netflix.
One to Watch: Hey Tracey!, ITV2 at 10pmHey Tracey! the fun-filled quiz show for ITV2, hosted by Joel Dommett, enters its third episode this week, a world where celebrities play to win cash for members of the public… with some unpredictable consequences. In this evening’s outing the celebrities taking part are Love Islands Eyal Booker, reality star Ferne Mccann and comedian Stephen Bailey and playing on the opposite team is Ibiza Weekender Jordan Davies, Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley and comedian London Hughes.
If our celebrities don’t know the answer to Joel’s unusual questions, they can say “Hey Tracey!” and enlist the help of his very own virtual assistant. But forget your high-end Silicon Valley artificial intelligence – Tracey was thrown together by some sixth formers in the late 90’s as part of their technology coursework… and she can usually be found tucking into a pie or painting her nails.
Each time our celebs summon her help, Tracey can connect them with someone in the real world that might be able to help. Less phone-a-friend, more like comedy cold calling. And that means everyone from dog groomers to massage parlours, piano tuners to equine dentists, roadside burger vans to reptile houses.
So, if our celebrities want to win big, they’d better make sure they say… “Hey, Tracey!”
ITV2 at 10pm, Tracey is unleashed once more.

The £1 Houses – Britain’s Cheapest Street, Channel 4 at 8.30pm
Liverpool City Council are selling off derelict houses – for just £1 each. But the bargain buyers face some big risks: they must invest thousands of pounds of their own money to renovate a derelict property, which they must complete within 12 months, or the Council can take it back – with no compensation.
And they must commit to live in a run-down area known for crime and anti-social behaviour. Following the award-winning first series, the cameras return to catch-up with the people now living in the £1-House neighbourhood, also following the highs and the lows of those still taking the gamble.
Debbie and Ste’s plans for their dream kitchen are threatened when they realise the back end of the house is sinking. With Ibby’s builder juggling multiple jobs and her windows delayed, she worries the house won’t be ready before her baby arrives. And a frightened Victoria is forced to call 999 when kids start setting off fireworks horizontally down the street.
