Why is Celebrity MasterChef not on tonight?

This week, Celebrity MasterChef sees the last of four heats before the semi-finals.

At the end of last week’s heat – which saw Katie Price sent home and Joe Swash and Dion Dublin progress – a teaser trailer showed what was to come.

Telling the behind-the-scenes story of 9/11

Last night – on Bank Holiday Monday – BBC One rolled out episode two of Vigil.

And tonight, it’s the turn of hour-and-a-half documentary 9/11: Inside The President’s War Room.

Almost 20 years after the 9/11 attacks on New York’s Twin Towers and the Pentagon, the documentary talks to then-President George W Bush and key members of his staff about that fateful day.

They talk about how the day unfolded and how they reacted, as well as what happened next.

The attacks on the US in 2001 led to war in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
