With our Best of British bulging summer almost upon us (well, the sun was out yesterday) a few changes to our regular viewing schedule was inevitable.

There is nothing worse than sitting down to watch your favourite soap only to find that a schedule change you weren’t aware of has engulfed your television screens, normally involving 22 men and a ball, so we thought we would give you the heads up as to how to plan your evenings now the football  fever has taken  hold of our great country!

So far those soaps confirmed as affected by the ceremonies and celebrations surrounding the two major events in the UK this summer, are the three mainstream ones, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Coronation Street.
