The soap schedule this week has been thrown into chaos to make way for the coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2022, with Emmerdale and EastEnders fans set to be affected.
The controversial Qatar football tournament is airing on both the BBC and ITV as the world’s teams for head to head in the group stages.
While football fans will be on tenterhooks as the matches unfold this week, the prospect is less exciting for soap fans, who are set to see their favourite shows move times and channels.
