Bad news Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans – both soaps won’t air tonight on ITV1.
You guessed it, it’s the football that’s taking them off air again.
The channel will broadcast live coverage of the England women’s football team’s friendly against Germany between 7 and 10pm, with the match kicking off at 7:30.
There’s quite a twist though – as you can still watch tonight’s Corrie online.
Earlier this month, it was announced that both shows will now drop first on streaming platform ITVX, before airing in their traditional slots on ITV1.
New episodes are now available from 7am, ahead of their evening broadcast.
This means you can watch Coronation Street now – a whole two days in advance – or wait until 8pm on Sunday when it has a rare weekend showing.
The episode will follow David Platt’s (Jack P Shepherd) guilt following mum Gail’s (Helen Worth) heart attack, with Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson) having a lot of questions!
Elsewhere, Toyah Habeeb (Georgia Taylor) tries to make amends with Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) and Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) struggled when boyfriend Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) spies her stoma bag.
There’s relief for Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) ex-boyfriend Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths) discovers her family are in the clear over his missing money, plus Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) shows off her new holiday outfit to try and impress Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson).
Emmerdale won’t return until Monday, in the usual timeslot.
