Emmerdale's new time slot next week with hour-long episode scrapped for Britain's Got Talent

Emmerdale fans are being reminded of a major schedule change coming up soon.

The move comes just months after Emmerdale switched to a new timeslot. Regular Emmerdale viewers know the soap has moved to accommodate an extended ITV News programme.

This has seen Emmerdale shift to a new weekday slot of 7.30pm. This also resulted in Coronation Street airing later.

Now, because of the Britain’s Got Talent live semi-final shows, Emmerdale will temporarily move back to 7pm on ITV. This will happen all week, for one week only, from Monday, May 30.

Corrie will then air at 7.30pm and BGT will follow at 8pm. The talent show, presented by Ant and Dec, will air for two hours.

The schedule change means there also won’t be a Thursday hour of Emmerdale. So, Emmerdale fans will miss out on 30 minutes of Emmerdale that week.
