Coronation Street fans livid as tomorrow’s episode pulled from schedules – fuming ‘so irritating!’
CORONATION Street fans have been left livid that the soap has been affected by a huge schedule shake-up for the second week running.
The ITV soap has seen a number of changes over the past week owing to coverage of sporting tournaments including the football and the Rugby World Cup.
For two weeks running the show has aired on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after being shunted out of its usual slot.
It means that tomorrow’s usual Friday edition has been dropped from listings.
In its place will be the New Zealand v Italy match with a broadcast time of 7:30pm.
Although the schedule change was confirmed by Corrie at the start of the week, many have been left enraged by the fact the soap has been shifted around.
Writing on their social media accounts earlier this week, Coronation Street said: “Slight schedule change again this week everyone! Don’t miss us on ITV or ITVX.”
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, to comment, one livid viewer exclaimed: “I wish they would just leave it – fuming.”
Another added: “Not happy, so irritating!”
A third was left furious that the switch up meant that Tuesday’s episode clashed with Channel 4 favourite The Great British Bake Off – a move that under usual circumstances would have been avoided.
They wrote: “It clashes with Bake Off.”
Coronation Street is expected to return to its regular schedule from next week.
Viewers of Emmerdale could also be in for a surprise as although the show will still air on Friday it will be brought forward by 30 minuets in order to accommodate the match.
