ITV in major schedule shakeup as Coronation Street is pulled off air AGAIN
ITV has thrown Coronation Street fans into turmoil once again with yet another schedule shake-up – leaving viewers fuming as the soap is pulled from the air.
With major sporting events taking priority, ITV has continually ripped up the schedules which has seen Corrie booted from its usual timeslots.
No episode will be broadcast this Friday evening at 8pm with coverage of the FA Cup live Aston Villa vs Cardiff City.
However, Corrie fans won’t have lost out on the episode altogether as they will be able to watch the next dramatic instalment from the cobbles a day earlier instead.
An additional trip to Weatherfield will be screened on Thursday this week to make up for Friday’s missing episode.
This week, fans of Coronation Street will see the truth about Daisy Midgley’s baby daddy as she makes a jaw-dropping confession.
And Ken Barlow is rushed to hospital in shocking scenes after collapsing in agony – but what’s behind his sudden health scare?
As the iconic character faces a life-threatening crisis, could this be the turning point that uncovers Cassie’s web of lies?
Meanwhile, Kevin Webster lashes out after receiving devastating health news.
