ITV Emmerdale's Marlon star Mark Charnock's announcement leaves fans fuming as last-minute change is made

Emmerdale legend Mark Charnock was keen to tell fans of a schedule change that appears to have left them very disappointed. The actor, who is famed for playing Marlon Dingle in the ITV soap, was due to be on-screen on Monday night (December 5) but not as his character.

Emmerdale is currently off-air until Wednesday with ITV's usual schedule still being switched around for coverage of the World Cup which is being held this winter in Qatar. This means that fans won't get their fix of drama from the Dales, and the cobbles of Coronation Street until later in the week.

On Wednesday (December 7) Emmerdale will air an extended hour-long episode at 7pm followed by Corrie in its usual 8pm slot. The same will also be aired on Thursday and Friday meaning fans of both soaps will be fully up to speed by Friday (December 9).
