THE soaps schedules have been thrown into chaos later this month as Britain’s Got Talent’s live finals week plays havoc.

Emmerdale and Coronation Street will be booted out of their usual slots to make way for the nightly live episodes of the talent competition.

Gemma wants the wedding of her dreams in Coronation Street but will it be ruined?

From Monday May 29, Emmerdale will air one episode each weeknight at 7pm.

That will be followed by one 30 minute episode of Corrie.

Both soaps will be followed by two hour long live broadcasts of Britain’s Got Talent’s semi-finals.

EastEnders is not affected by the schedule changes but will go head to head with Coronation Street rather than Emmerdale.

Spoilers for the soaps have yet to be released but it has already been revealed that Coronation Street will tackle two huge storylines that week.

Daisy Midgeley will face her stalker Justin in court for the trauma he has put her through.

And filming pictures have revealed that Ryan Connor will make his way to court to face down the man who permanently disfigured him in the acid attack.

However in more a upbeat storyline, quad mum Gemma Winter will finally walk down the aisle to kebab-making Chesney Brown.

The pair’s hodge-podged wedding is bound to be a memorable one with Gemma throwing anything and everything together on a shoe-string budget.

Her wedding dress is set to be one remembered by Corrie viewers for years to come.

However with Gemma’s brother Paul hiding the fact he has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease and likely only has a few years to live – will the big secret be exposed?

And will Gemma miss out on her happy ending?
