Coleen's Real WomenLifeStyle You, 9.30pmIt's nice to see someone who's famous for being famous using their power for good instead of evil. Coleen McLoughlin became a household name in Britain for being the high school sweetheart (and now wife) of soccer star Wayne Rooney. She's gone on to become a magazine columnist, launch her own perfume and pocket millions of pounds for endorsing clothing labels. In this series, however, she's trying to find "real" women to replace models as the faces of eight British brands. Tonight's task is to find a woman who can front a campaign for a maker of ladies' stockings. There's a feel-good vibe about things as women who never thought they could be models give it a whirl.Four WeddingsLifeStyle You, 8.30pmAnother fun episode of this British series in which women meet for the first time, then attend and rate each other's weddings. Grunge-loving Scottish lass Carol looks set to have a rock'n'roll anti-wedding - no flowers, no churches, no speeches, none of that rubbish. But while the ceremony itself features a little bit of easy-listening Metallica, it's Abba and Phil Collins picking up the royalty cheques from the reception. The other women opt for more traditional weddings and they're not shy about slagging each other's off.The Science of Storm ChasingDiscovery Science, 9.30pmIt's twister season in the US and a band of high-tech tornado researchers hits the road with a mobile radar truck and a tank-like "tornado-intercept vehicle". Helpful computer graphics explain how tornadoes form.
