Emma also meets Andrea, a woman who has been deaf for much of her life and is slowly beginning to go blind. She wants nothing more than to be able to engage in normal life and conversations with her friends and family. Andrea and Garin both undergo operations in tonight’s episode but one operation doesn’t immediately have the results they hoped for.

Confessions of a Junior Doctor (Channel 4, 9pm)

If you’d rather see the other side of the medical world, this documentary series focuses tonight on recently graduated Morgan who’s on her first ever stint in the A&E department. Within her first three months, the hospital is pushed into black alert and reaches capacity. Morgan’s story shows the struggles doctors have with juggling between looking after patients and taking care of themselves.

My Online Nightmare (Channel 4, 10pm)

This series explores the remarkable tales of scammers and fraudsters who used the internet to lure and con victims. It tells the shocking story of Dawn DaLuise, a Hollywood beautician with Nicki Minaj, Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston as clients who was stalked online.

She received thousands of abusive text messages that culminated in an advert purporting to be her seeking out men to come and assault her. She believed her harasser to be a nearby rival in the beauty world and told her friend Ed that she’d hired a hitman to take the harasser out. In a shocking twist, the abusive stalker turns out to be Ed who went to the police and had Dawn jailed for soliciting murder. Tonight she shares the complete story.
