TV Guide 2021-02-13

The final of The Masked Singer (ITV, Sat) ends the series. If you've got complete withdrawal symptoms, ITV2 might ease with The Masked Singer Us (weekdays). It's also the final of Celebrity Home Cook (BBC1, Tue and Wed).

A Valentine's Day special of, er, Breaking the News (Radio Scotland, BBC Scotland, Sun). Not the show we most expected to get in the romantic mood, but there we are. New series of Tenable (ITV, weekdays) might make your top ten.
