Why has Coronation Street been cancelled? Corrie fans have been left baffled by schedule changes.
Soap fans have been left wondering why Coronation Street has been cancelled after it failed to air in the usual slots this week.
Regular viewers know that Coronation Street usually airs on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening on ITV1, however, this week things have been a little different.
Fans panicked when they tuned in on Monday, January 9 to find there was live FA Cup football on after Emmerdale, instead of Coronation Street.
The episode had in fact been aired a night early, showing on Sunday, January 8 at 7 pm instead.
But now there is confusion about when the next episode of the soap will air... but don't worry we have got you covered.
When is the next episode of Coronation Street on?
The next episode of Coronation Street will air tonight, Wednesday, January 11 in the usual time slot of 8 pm. From today onwards the soap will return to its usual scheduling, which will come as a relief to fans.
As always viewers can catch up on episodes at any time on the new ITV streaming platform, ITVX.
