Both shows are typically broadcast every weeknight for 30 minutes, in a new soaps "power hour" scheduling pattern that was launched in January.

However, over recent weeks, a number of episodes have been dropped and shunted to a rare Sunday outing instead. Tonight (April 14), they make way for ITV coverage of the England v Spain FIFA Women's World Cup 2027 Qualifier.

Seema Jaswal presents the match, with analysis from Karen Carney and Anita Asante live from Wembley Stadium.

Viewers will be pleased to hear that the episodes will air in their usual slots from tomorrow.

News of his ordeal will spread throughout Weatherfield, but will he finally be able to escape Theo?

Meanwhile, with new evidence found to help Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) in Emmerdale, Paddy Dingle (Dominic Brunt) hopes that it will also support dad Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards).

However, matters take a terrifying turn for the worse when fearsome DS Walsh (Amanda Ryan) lays out a new theory: that Bear was his captor Ray Walters's (Joe Absolom) partner in crime, who murdered him to take control of his operation.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and from 7am on ITVX.

Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm and from 7am on ITVX.
