Emmerdale and Corrie involved in major schedule shake-up as shows swap times

The two ITV soaps Emmerdale and Coronation Street are set to be involved in a big schedule switch-up.

The soaps will swap times for a week in a huge schedule shake-up due to the Britain's Got Talent live semi-finals.

Emmerdale usually airs at 7.30pm each day on ITV for 30 minutes with an exceptional hour-long episode on a Thursday.

While Coronation Street is usually broadcast from 8pm for an hour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Though from the week of May 29th, the final few episodes of BGT will air each evening ahead of the grand finale at the weekend.

From Monday May 29th, Emmerdale will air for 30 minutes each day at 7pm, whilst Corrie will air at 7.30pm each day for h30 minutes before the semi-finals, which begin airing at 8pm.

However, EastEnders will not be affected by the shakeup as it airs on rival channel BBC, but it will clash with Coronation Street that week rather than Emmerdale.

There are set to be will be two big storylines that Coronation Street will be tackling that week, which include Gemma finally tying the knot with husband-to-be Chesney and Daisy will face Justin in court.

Corrie's Daisy Ridgeley star Charlotte Jordan has previously insisted Daisy will "never be the same" after the acid attack.

Talking about the horrendous on-screen event, Charlotte said: "She feels totally isolated and is feeling totally helpless.

"It was really important to do this storyline and it is clever to do it with a character like Daisy, because she's a divisive character.

"You either love her or hate her, there's not really an in-between and all the things that make her Daisy, she's extra, she's flamboyant, she's camp, she's big, and you will see she starts to crumble. She gets smaller and smaller. I don't think she will ever be the same again."
