EastEnders has been hit by yet more schedule changes, taking the BBC soap off air tonight.
Soap fans have faced plenty of disruption this summer, with various sporting events playing havoc with our regular viewing schedules.
Tonight, it is EastEnders that takes the brunt of the changes, with Emmerdale having been affected earlier this week.
The ITV soap was shunted from its usual slot by coverage of the England vs Italy UEFA Women’s Euro match, which saw the Lionesses take home the victory with two goals to one.
In previous weeks, EastEnders has also been shifted for events like Wimbledon and previous UEFA Women’s Euro football matches
Why is EastEnders not on tonight?
Instead of their usual trip to Albert Square at 7.30pm this evening, BBC1 viewers will be met with coverage of the UEFA Women’s Euro.
Tonight, Germany takes on Spain in the second semi-final of the event, with the match set to kick off at 8pm.
When is EastEnders back on TV?
Fortunately, EastEnders fans haven’t missed out on their weekly dose of drama, with the soap having aired a double-bill of episodes last night.
The London-based soap will next hit our screens at its usual time of 7.30pm tomorrow, where there is more drama for the Brannings and Panesars.
Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) gets a warning from uncle Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) tomorrow night, demanding that he not cause Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) and Peter Beale (Thomas Law) any trouble.
However, when Oscar later agrees to babysit so the couple can go out for a meal, he is horrified when an old acquaintance arrives and threatens him, leaving another sinister threat behind as he scarpers.
Elsewhere, Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) has a lot on her plate as Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) leaves for Ash’s engagement party and she heads to discuss Avani Nandra-Hart’s (Aaliyah James) pregnancy with the Granthi.
Later, she manages to fix things with Eve Unwin (Heather Peace)as she makes amends for her recent behaviour.
Meanwhile, Avani explains the reasoning behind her decision to have an abortion to Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman).
