FOX8’s flagship series, Australia’s Next Top Model — back for its 10th season — will return with all guns blazing next month, TV Insider can reveal after being given a sneaky peek at the show’s premiere (7.30pm, September 20).

Nailing its brief, this season showcases 13 stunning and industry-relevant young models; raises the bar with its panel of radiant host (Jennifer Hawkins), judges (Megan Gale and Alex Perry) and mentors (Cheyenne Tozzi and the Stenmark twins); and A-list guests including Elle Macpherson and Miranda Kerr.

Adding to the usual drama which erupts in the Top Model house, this series seems to have more substance and polish than previous years; finally finding its stride again after the tragic loss of former judge and den mother Charlotte Dawson two years ago.

Perry, of course, delivers the requisite measure of attitude and meme-able quips, making it so fashion-fabulous it hurts.

In search of an angel

Ahead of R U OK? Thursday, this powerful documentary, The Stranger On The Bridge (9.30pm, Monday on Lifestyle YOU) shares the remarkable story of Jonny Benjamin, who considered jumping to his death off Waterloo Bridge in London, but was talked down and saved by the kindness of a stranger.

Benjamin’s search to find his guardian angel is raw and heartbreaking but ultimately a triumph of human connection.

GOSSIP

Will it end in tears?

TV Insider is still fuming at Nina’s new bloke Harry for calling off their romance last week and dissing her as a “lovely disaster” (how very dare he?)

But there’s a new villain to hiss at in this week’s episode (8.30pm, Wed on Ten) who will come completely out of left field. Billie (Kat Stewart) hosts a dinner party and as with most Proudman functions, the event descends into chaos.

What part will Nina (Asher Keddie) play?

Teos’ tears shock Anh

Brilliant brain surgeon Dr Charlie Teois rarely out of the headlines, but his appearance on Anh’s Brush With Fame is a real discovery for Anh Do and his audience (8pm, Wed, ABC).

Surviving a violent father; daily racism during his school years; before staring down his fellow doctors during his controversial career, it’s fair to say those who love Teo’s work will be even more impressed after this.
