Tonight's episode of Emmerdale is dropped but Friday's planned episode of Coronation Street will play out, ITV confirms.

ITV has confirmed its schedule for today following the death of Her Majesty The Queen last Thursday.

The monarch passed away at Balmoral at the age of 96, ending a remarkable 70-year stint on the throne after a short period of ill health.

As a result, broadcasters have ripped up their regular schedules to make way for news coverage - and on Friday, ITV dropped both Coronation Street and Emmerdale.

That Friday edition of Corrie is now confirmed to air tonight between 8pm and 9pm, although a new date for tonight's episode has yet to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, the hour-long episode of Emmerdale originally set to air on Thursday was shown last night, although the soap has been bumped again tonight - meaning that an hour-long episode from Friday plus tonight's half-hour episode will have to be rescheduled.

EastEnders will air as planned tonight on BBC One but one hour later than planned, at 8.30pm.

Further schedule changes affecting this week are expected to be announced later today.
