Coronation Street announces when tonight’s cancelled episode will air

CORONATION Street has confirmed when tonight's cancelled episode will air.

TV schedules have been thrown into chaos due to the ongoing coverage of The Queen's death and impending funeral.

It means the soaps are having to play catch-up to try and fit all the previously axed episodes back into the schedule.

As ITV has confirmed that two episodes of Emmerdale will air tonight, rather than the original single 30-minute episode, Corrie has been axed once again.

The first Emmerdale episode will air at 8pm while the second will follow at 8.30pm, with the news being cut back to make room for the double bill.

But Coronation Street fans won't have long to wait as ITV has rescheduled the soap to air on Sunday night.

It will broadcast from 7pm with an hour-long episode.

Following the programme, ITV will cross to Downing Street for a one-minute silence in honour of Her Majesty.

Both Emmerdale and Coronation Street will be once again up-to-date after Sunday.

TV disruption will continue into next week, with the National Television Awards - which were supposed to take place tonight - being postponed until Thursday October 13.

Meanwhile, the BBC has announced that Strictly Come Dancing's launch will also not ago ahead as planned.

It was originally set to air on Saturday, September 17 but it has now been pushed back to Friday, September 23, the night before the first live show.
