Die Hard (E4, 9pm)

Everybody’s talking about: Catfish
In a new episode of the MTV show, a man reveals that he believed he was dating Katy Perry for six whole years, even buying her an engagement ring with his life savings.
He believed this in spite of never actually speaking to ‘Katy’ – and also despite the real Katy being married to Russell Brand, and subsequently dating John Mayer and Orlando Bloom.
In reality, he was talking to a woman from Gloucester. Oh boy.
