Portrait Artist of the Year 2025

8pm, Sky Arts
From the self-portraits submitted by amateur artists to the paintings they then do of celebrity sitters, this art contest is fascinating on every level. The first subjects of the 12th series are the TV presenter Alex Jones, the writer/actor Kyla Harris and the musician Yungblud (his special object is Ozzy Osbourne’s necklace). The results are so wonderful that at one point nearly everyone is in tears. Hollie Richardson
