Great! Mystery says it will show “binge-worthy mystery shows and monthly premieres of high-stakes crime movies”.

Among the movies are some big name Hollywood titles from the genre.

This includes Drive with Ryan Gosling, which has won some 30 major awards since being released in 2011.

The Whistleblower with Rachel Weisz is also on the schedule.

And there’s 2006 movie Lucky Number Slevin with a huge cast of big names including Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis and Josh Hartnett.

A leading movie will be shown on the channel every night at 9pm, as part of a special Crime at Nine slot.

Elsewhere, viewers will be able to catch Dick Van Dyke-led made-for-television mystery films Murder 101, alongside his son Barry Van Dyke.

Great! Mystery joins four other Great! branded channels now available on Freeview.

These are Great! Movies, Great! Action, Great! TV and Great! Romance.

Great! Romance is currently under a temporary rebrand as Great! Christmas for the festive period.

There is also real-life drama channel Great! Real but this is only available online currently.

Great! Mystery can be found on channel number 61 on Freeview.

Amy Rowcliffe, Director at Everyone TV – which runs Freeview – said: “We’re proud to continue our partnership with Narrative Entertainment UK by launching Great! Mystery on Freeview – with some fantastic content, such as the Aurora Teagarden franchise, based on Charlaine Harris’ bestselling books, as well as award-winning films with A-list talent like The Whistleblower.

“Now more than ever, providing UK households with quality TV for free is vitally important – we look forward to continuing to do more with Great!”

Get more quality TV for free

By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Reporter

If you’re tired of paying out on several streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ then there are a growing number of free alternatives around.

While many of these alternatives have been filled with obscure content, more big names like Sky have got on board in recent years offering some quality stuff, which is largely archive but still entertaining.

As well as UKTV, Sony and Channel 5 are among the other players getting involved.

If you haven’t already, give Pluto TV a go, it’s available on pretty much all devices including Fire TV Sticks.

On there you’ll find channels from MTV, with Catfish and Geordie Shore.

Some of the classics are real gems too – I found myself watching long-forgotten episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch the other day.

Katie recently shared a sponsored advert about collagen drink Rejuven8 Beauty on her Instagram story.

The star showed off her toned tattooed stomach in a blue crop top and baggy grey joggers.

She showed off her natural beauty with minimal make-up.

After explaining the health benefits, she opened up about her transformation.

Katie said: “Everybody’s noticed a change in my body…

“I’ve been going to the gym, I’ve been horse riding, I’ve been eating healthy and I’ve been cooperating this to my daily diet.

“I feel full of energy, refreshed and I love it when something actually works!

“This does.”

Katie is no stranger to altering her look.

Last week the star revealed that she’s been getting botox – despite her recent facelift.

Sharing a video on Instagram after her anti-wrinkle injections as she continues her bid to look younger.

Katie told fans: “I have had some anti-wrinkles done. Although I’ve had my face done, you still need little bits of touch ups.

“I’ve also brought along JJ because it helps prevent wrinkles.”

Earlier this month Katie showed off her £10k facelift, which she had earlier this year, as she shopped in London.

Meanwhile Katie revealed that she’s already put her Christmas tree up – SIX weeks before the big day.

The star showed off her tree in her new living room following on from her Mucky Mansion eviction.

Offering fans a glimpse inside her swanky new home, she showed off an enormous laminate-floored and white-walled living room, complete with a fully decorated Christmas tree.

The tree was covered in silver tinsel and colourful baubles as it took pride of place next to her massive telly.

Rev Richard Coles confesses biggest fear for I’m A Celebrity journey as he arrives as latecomer

REVEREND Richard Coles will be praying he is not made to do a challenge at height in his I’m A Celeb stint.

The former pop star and vicar, 62, is terrified of heights and says he will “absolutely” be calling on his faith to help him through tasks.

He is entering the jungle as a late arrival alongside former Love Island star Maura Higgins, 33, tomorrow night.

Confessing which trials he fears most, Richard said: “Anything up high.

“I actually froze with fear on the stepladder the other day.

“So anything which means walking some horrible, rickety tightrope or something.

“But I know that there will be somebody burly with a harness to keep me from falling.”

Speaking about preparing for jungle life by slimming down, Richard joked: “My run-up to the show was going on a cruise, so I’ve been on a, like, 5,000 calories a day diet.

“So I think I’m already fatter since my measurements the day before yesterday.

“So no, I’ve not done that at all. I tried to, and I thought I should, because I imagine the body will notice going from 5,000 calories a day to 500 calories a day.

“But it’s good, and I will lose a bit of weight.”

Since the show kicked off on Sunday, campmates have already had to endure BBC Radio 1 DJ Melvin Odoom’s loud snoring.

But the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant will have some competition from Richard in that department.

He said: “It’d be me who’s doing the snoring, so it’d be how do they cope with the snoring.

“I’m a bit worried about that actually, because my partner is not a fan of that at all.

“He made me have this thing, it’s like a boxer’s gum shield that you put in to stop snoring. But after a while, you just feel it’s just getting a little bit Frankenstein.”

Asked what a campmate would have to do to get on his nerves, Richard replied: “Sniff. Sniffing.

“I’m not naturally a patient person, but being a vicar taught me to be patient.

“Also I lived in the monastery for two years, so I know what it’s like to be locked in with people you don’t choose to be with. So I’ve got some resilience.”

  • I’M A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs on ITV1 at 9pm tonight.

I'm A Celebrity 2024

  • Alan Halsall – The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course.

  • Melvin Odoom – The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. He has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet – the Aussie jungle.

Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up.

    ‘Exhausted’ Maura Higgins admits ‘I’m not well’ and she ‘has shakes’ as she lands in Australia for I’m A Celeb

    EX-Love Island contestant Maura Higgins is set to gatecrash the I’m a Celeb camp tomorrow — while fighting the aftershock of a Las Vegas hangover.

    After touching down in ­Australia, she said 48 hours spent sinking red wine in Sin City has wrecked her.

    She also insisted she is single — despite rumours of a romance with Strictly’s Pete Wicks.

    Irish star Maura, 33, told The Sun yesterday: “I’m still on Vegas time. I’m not well.

    “Sin City has killed me. Honestly, not good. I feel like yer man from The Hangover, like, the shakes and everything.

    “It was amazing, just very exhausting. It was like, proper, full on . . . when we landed, just the jet lag, no sleep.

    “I have no clue what day it is. I don’t know where I am, I’m so confused.”

    She added: “I don’t really drink champagne, I’m more red wine. So that gives you a bad hangover, you know.”

    In Vegas, she partied with Loose Women’s Stacey Solomon and watched Adele at her Caesars ­Palace residency before flying to Oz, where she landed on Monday.

    Despite Maura having a blast, some of her fans were not too happy about the trip.

    She said: “My DMs were ‘Why are you in Vegas? You should be in Australia. I’ve put a bet on you to win the show!’ ”

    She will enter the jungle as a late arrival alongside ex-Strictly star Reverend Richard Coles, 62.

    She set tongues wagging in recent months after she was snapped snogging heart-throb Pete.

    The ex-Towie hunk, 36, seems to have found himself in a love ­triangle with Maura and his dance partner Jowita Przystal, 30, who he has grown close to

    But asked about dating Pete, Maura insisted: “I’m not, I’m not. Where have you heard that?

    “I mean, I date, but I’m very much single.”

    When asked if she had been on a date with Pete, she laughed: “I mean, I’ve been on a date with many people.”

    Maura found fame on Love Island in 2019 when she arrived as a bombshell on the ITV2 dating show.

    She instantly ruffled feathers and caused hundreds of Ofcom complaints after straddling and trying to kiss boxer Tommy Fury when he was partnered up with influencer Molly-Mae Hague.

    Fans loved her fiery, forthright personality — and she will be bringing that attitude straight into the I’m a Celeb camp.

    Maura said: “I mean, I’m not gonna go in and annihilate anyone.

    “But obviously, if someone gets on my nerves, I’m not really one to hold it in. I do speak my mind.

    “I think I’ve matured, but I still have the potty mouth.”

    She is also joining the queue of campmates desperate to quiz Wayne Rooney’s wife Coleen, 38, over the Wagatha Christie saga.

    Maura said: “I want to talk to her about it. I’m a bit nosey like that.”
