Coronation Street fans have reacted with anger after learning three episodes of the soap have been postponed to make room for football.

Fans will have to wait until Sunday before they can find out what's next for David Platt and Shona, and what is going to happen to Andy Carver as he remains imprisoned by Phelan.

The England Vs Malta match Live International Football coverage begins at on ITV tonight at 7.15pm, and England Vs Slovakia at the same time on Monday, so fans will miss out on two days of valuable viewing.

Emmerdale has, however, been granted a reprieve and will air at the earlier time of 6.45pm.
