The clocks have sprung forward, the sun is finally staying out past 6pm, it’s slowly but surely getting warmer and Celebrity Big Brother is back on our screens – April is here in all its glory.
As much as we’re looking forward to watching CBB and the rumoured line-up of famous housemates, there’s just too much going on this month to stay home every evening. Catch up on ITVX it is then.
From the Sugababes’ biggest ever UK tour and a new musical adaptation of The Great Gatsby to the Women’s Six Nations and a delish collaboration between wagamama and GRIND, there’s so much to do this month…
