EastEnders has been cancelled tonight in the latest soap shake-up
The episode will be available on BBC iPlayer from Thursday after a schedule shake up for the World Cup
Soap fans are having to navigate the TV schedules to watch their favourite soaps at different times or on different days, and now tonight’s EastEnders has been cancelled to allow for another football match.
The episode should have aired on BBC One, but instead, EastEnders fans will have to catch up on iPlayer.
However, they will have to wait until Thursday morning before they can watch the episode.
Soap schedules are expected to be disrupted until well into December, with the World Cup tournament due to finish on the 18th.
EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale aren’t the only programmes to suffer during the World Cup.
Quiz shows including The Chase and Tipping Point have been taken off the schedules, while Loose Women and This Morning have also been impacted.
Meanwhile, Strictly Come Dancing has had to move its live quarter and semi finals from a Saturday to a Friday to accommodate the football tournament and its knockout stages.
The quarter finals will now air on Friday, December 2, with the results show moving from Sunday December 4 to Saturday December 3.
Then the live semi-final will air on Friday, December 9, with the results show taking place the next evening on Saturday, December 10.
Thankfully, the Strictly final will be back in its usual Saturday slot on December 17.
