Popular daytime show cancelled today in latest BBC One schedule shake-up
POPULAR daytime show Bargain Hunt is the latest programme to fall foul of the current BBC One schedule shake-up.
The show will not air as usual today in a huge blow to fans.
Fans can normally expect to see the programme air in the afternoon slot on the lead BBC channel at 4:30pm.
However, coverage of the Wimbledon tournament has seen the show axed from its usual home.
BBC One has featured numerous shake-ups this week in order to prioritise highlights and live coverage of the annual sporting event.
It has led them to move shows to different times, different channels and in some cases drop them altogether.
More on the BBC
Bargain Hunt is far from the only major show affected.
All this week, the Beeb has chosen to move its flagship shows EastEnders and The One Show to secondary channel BBC Two.
Drama fans will also be forced to wait an extra week to catch the next edition of long-running medical drama Casualty.
The programme which airs Saturday evenings has been dropped this upcoming weekend in order to show the day's highlight replay of all the action on Centre Court.

It means viewers will be forced to wait to catch up on the craziness from the ER.
Despite this news, Bargain Hunt fans will be glad to know that the show is currently scheduled to air on Thursday and Friday at the revised time of 12:15 pm.
Show star Christina Trevanion will be leading the way as she welcomes two more teams to battle it out.
A synopsis for Thursday's episode reads: "With expert help on hand from Kate Bliss and Jonathan Pratt, the red and blue teams compete to see who can buy the most profitable three items to take to auction."
