EastEnders on TWICE tonight as scheduling is changed AGAIN - here's when to watch this week
It's a confusing time to be a soap fan...
Tonight will see not one but two episodes of EastEnders aired so that the BBC can make way for the first semi final in the Women's World Cup tomorrow night.
The usual episode of EastEnders will air at 8pm tonight (Monday 1 July), but then after an episode of Room 101 at 8.30, another episode of EastEnders will be shown at 9pm.
The later episode tonight is actually the one that would usually have been shown tomorrow night (Tuesday 2nd July) had it not been for the football.
So while there is plenty of soapy drama to keep you gripped tonight, it means that EastEnders fans will then have to wait until Thursday for their next trip to Walford.
Monday's double bill will see Callum facing a new challenge when his dad Jonno arrives in Walford and instantly starts ruffling feathers.

While the newcomer is an instant hit with Callum's fiancee Whitney, he manages to rub Ben and Phil up the wrong way in The Vic, causing a headache for poor Callum.
Tonight will also see Keanu Taylor find himself on the wrong side of the law when a dodgy job for Phil takes a sinister turn.
The mechanic is set to find himself pulled over by the police while driving a stolen car... leaving him with no option but to leg it and hope the police don't catch up with him.
Kat is also set to find herself at the centre of the Walford drama tonight when she tells Kush that she will pay for his solicitor in his fight for custody of Arthur, only to find her money from Alife is missing when she goes to collect it.
But who would steal from Kat?
Tonight will see an EastEnders double bill at 8pm and 9pm to make way for the Women's World Cup tomorrow evening.
There's no episode on Tuesday but EastEnders is then back to its usual times on Thursday at 7.30pm and Friday at 8pm.
