The One Show and EastEnders axed from BBC One in channel shake up

Two flagship BBC One shows, The One Show and EastEnders, will be missing from BBC One in a channel shake up. They are instead being moved to a different BBC channel.

Due to the tennis tournament Wimbledon being aired on BBC One, The One Show and EastEnders have been moved to BBC Two instead. The One Show and EastEnders will air on BBC Two from Tuesday, July 4 to Thursday, July 6.

Both shows will air in their normal timeslots of 7pm for The One Show and 7.30pm for EastEnders. The One Show will also air on BBC Two on Friday, July 7 at 7pm. You can keep up to date with the latest TV and showbiz news by signing up to the newsletter here.

EastEnders and The One Show will continue to be aired on BBC Two on Monday, July 10 before returning to their normal BBC One slots on Tuesday, July 11. Wimbledon coverage will start on BBC One at 7pm and finish at 9pm when replacing the shows.

Recently EastEnders fans were left "bawling" after the funeral of much-loved character Lola Pearce-Brown. The character, who has appeared on the show since 2011, passed away last month after a long battle with brain cancer - read more about that here.

The funeral episode saw Albert Square residents come together to commemorate Lola’s life. Prior to her death, Lola insisted that she didn’t want anyone to be sad when they said goodbye to her and that people should wear something colourful.

During her funeral, Lola’s husband Jay (Jamie Borthwick), daughter Lexi (Isabella Brown) and grandad Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) gave speeches to honour her. In a break from tradition EastEnders ended with the song Forever Young used in place of the show’s theme tune.
