Watch 'Once Upon a Weatherfield, Happy Emmerdale After' trailer

ITV has released a trailer advertising the romance and tragedy befalling Coronation Street and Emmerdale characters throughout the summer.

Titled Once Upon A Weatherfield, Happy Emmerdale After, it depicts the characters in a variety of classic scenarios – such as Tracy Barlow as the queen's evil reflection in Snow White – while an acoustic version of Tainted Love plays.

ITV says viewers should keep an eye out for hints of what's in store for these characters over the summer months...
