Emmerdale and Coronation Street postponed until Tuesday

Emmerdale and Coronation Street viewers will have to wait until Tuesday for their next soap instalment.

Tonight's episodes of the two ITV soaps have been postponed.

Neither Emmerdale nor Corrie will air on Monday either.

Instead, there will be a one-hour episode of Emmerdale on Tuesday, followed by a one-hour airing of Coronation Street.

Wednesday's usual double-bill of Corrie will continue, as well as a 30-minute showing of Emmerdale.

Why is there no Emmerdale or Coronation Street?

The soaps have been cancelled due to several international football matches.

Tonight (Friday, November 12) England face Albania at Wembley in a qualifying match for the World Cup in 2022.

On Monday, England face San Marino as they play their final qualifying match at San Marino Stadium.

Match coverage for both games starts at 7pm until 10pm.

However, it's fair to say soap fans are not happy with the schedule change.

Beth said: "TUESDAY?! WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY FOR A NEW EP?!"

Sue tweeted: "It's a joke putting football on a Friday."

Pritha said: "Dear #Corrie producers, I’m disappointed that you’ve scheduled in another Tuesday episode, which clashes with #BakeOff.

"If you have to show a football match then can’t you reschedule #CoronationStreet to a Thursday? I really hope this doesn’t happen again in #GBBO final week."

And Oli wrote: "Great to have an hour tonight but shame we lose one to football on Friday."
