Emmerdale and Coronation Street will have staggered starts following the World Cup coverage.
The drama in Emmerdale village never ends but viewers missed out on their daily dose after a switch up from ITV pulled an episode from its usual schedule. To make way for rolling coverage of the Qatar World Cup, fans of the show had to deal with a one-off soapless night.
Coronation Street also felt the impacts of the tournament as it too lost its usual evening slot. The last time both shows were pulled was to make way for the Queen's lying in state in September.
