The Mirror reported that issues started around 3.20pm and are affecting viewers across the UK, according to DownDetector.

Some complained the picture on the live TV channel had either stopped working or became pixellated.

Others reported the sound quality decreased harshly with others saying the channel was frequently freezing on them.

Many users took to Twitter to express their frustration with ITV.

Another fumed: "ITV down. Hard luck if you want #ClassicCorrie!This is turning into a really sh*t day !"

"ITV has crashed!!! Social Media last Monday and TV channels this Monday," noted a third.

It comes after Channel 4 experienced a range of technical difficulties in the previous month.

The broadcaster reported glitches that stopped live transmission for 30 minutes.
