We’re reaching the peak of summer which can only mean one thing: Shark Week is upon us.

The annual seven-day celebration of all things shark returns to Discovery Channel on July 23 with Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa, taking the reins to bring us endless fun, drama and WTF documentaries’ about the creatures which thanks to a certain 1975 Spielberg horror have become the most feared animal on the planet.

Among the shows coming our way is Cocaine Sharks on July 26, the natural successor to the absurd blockbuster smash Cocaine Bear which was somehow loosely based on a true story.

In what will no doubt be one of the most unmissable events in Shark Week, shark expert Tom ‘The Blowfish’ Hird will be heading to Florida Keys to investigate rumours sharks charged on cocaine have been spreading through the fishing community.

What actually happens when sharks and cocaine mix? Well, that’s what Hird will be looking to uncover.

Elsewhere for Shark Week, we’ll be keeping a close eye on Jaws vs The Meg, exploring a theory the humble great white was responsible for the extinction the megalodon, the shark which grew to around 50 foot.

Then Shark vs Snake: Battle of The Bites will investigate why so many tiger shark corpses appear to be washing up on the beaches of West Australian with no sign of an attack. Are deadly sea snakes to blame?

Momoa admitted he’s been ‘begging’ to anchor Shark Week for years, taking over from last year’s host Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Jonson.

‘We’ve been trying to do it probably since 2018,’ he said.

Speaking to People, he added: ‘I’m hoping Shark Week goes well, and I can do another one, and then another one, and just pass on more information.’

Other highlights include Belly of the Beast: Feeding Frenzy, which hopes to find the biggest great white shark ever recorded, and Air Jaws: Final Frontier, which looks at the huge ocean predators that soar well above the surface of the water.

Shark Week launches July 23 on the Discovery Channel.

With the aftermath of one of soap’s greatest ever twists on the cards, this is a week not to be missed for the genre.

We are, of course, referring to EastEnders’ monumental Cindy Beale comeback after 25 years, which felt like a moment from the show’s early noughties days.

Cindy, or Rose Knight as she’s known to George, is the subject of much discussion in the Square, with big revelations on the cards for the clan in question, flooring Gina and Anna in their tracks.

Hollyoaks, meanwhile, sees its own Cindy take centre stage, with a huge week on the cards for the Channel 4 soap character as she carries out her meticulously-planned heist with Grace Black and Zara Morgan.

But things don’t exactly go to plan.

Coronation Street sees Stephen Reid quizzed, while Emmerdale focuses on Jai Sharma, who makes a big discovery.

For all this and more we’ve got you covered, with the top 10 must-see moments from the week ahead (June 26 to 30).

Despite his reservations, George comes clean, but pleads with her not to tell Gina, knowing history could repeat where she is concerned. Gina, however, is ultimately informed by Elaine, with George subsequently filling in the blank details, with both Anna and Gina heartbroken by his actions.
