Coronation Street fans asked not to share spoilers as soap added to ITV Hub

ITV's resident soap expert Sharon Marshall has asked Emmerdale and Coronation Street viewers not to share spoilers as shows are added to the ITV Hub for the first time.

The change comes due to a big scheduling shake-up across channels to make way for the UEFA Euros 2020, which kick off this week.

It means shows will be moved around to cater to the football, with EastEnders already cancelling Friday's instalment and airing a double episode on Tuesday. You can find out more about this here.

So to make things easier for soap viewers, ITV has decided to add Coronation Street and Emmerdale episodes to the ITV Hub for the next four weeks.

Starting from June 14, all episodes for each coming week will be made available on the ITV Hub every Monday, allowing viewers the chance to binge watch their favourite soap or choose to watch at their leisure.

This will be alongside showing the episodes on the main ITV channel each week, giving viewers a wider choice of how, where and when they'd like to view.

But while being able to binge watch the soaps might be a treat for many, there's also potential for people who haven't watched it to be caught out by spoilers.

Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on Tuesday's show, Sharon explained: "Everything is going on the ITV Hub at the start of the week, they're going to put all the episodes of Coronation Street and Emmerdale up.

"So all I was going to say is we've got lots of big stories and spoilers happening over the next three or four weeks..."

Interjecting, Holly asked: "Oh my gosh, is this the first time they've done it?"

"It's the first time they've done it," Sharon explained, adding: "It will still be on the television but obviously it moves all over the schedules and the timings change and it might change to ITV2.

"So what they're going to do is stick the whole lot up at the start so if you want you can binge watch the lot on the Hub."

Pleading with people not to share spoilers, Sharon added: "But if you do please, please don't go on Twitter and say what all the spoilers of the big stories are."
