Is Gogglebox and The Circle on tonight? Channel 4 schedule after Prince Philip's death

TV channels have cancelled their scheduled programming following the news of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.

The BBC suspended its schedule across BBC One, BBC Two and the News channel until 6pm to air special programmes about the senior royal.

A statement from the corporation said: "With the sad news that HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has died, there is now special coverage across all BBC networks to mark his life of extraordinary public service and planned scheduling has been suspended."

ITV also made schedule changes following the news.

Entertainment show This Morning, which was being presented by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, was interrupted and Loose Women was scrapped.

Many fans have been left wondering if Gogglebox will be axed tonight.

Channel 4 aired a special edition of Channel 4 News but resumed regular programming.

Gogglebox will therefore air at the usual time of 9pm tonight.

The final of reality show The Circle, which had aired almost every night for three weeks, is due to go ahead as planned between 10pm and 11.30pm.

This was confirmed by TV critic Scott Bryan.

He tweeted: "Update: I have been informed that Gogglebox and The Circle will be airing tonight, as planned."
