Coronation Street and Emmerdale hit by major schedule shake-up because of Britain’s Got Talent
CORONATION Street and Emmerdale are set for a major schedule shake-up to make way for the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent.
The ITV talent competition is heating up and will soon welcome back the top acts that impressed the judges from the auditions together with the five golden buzzer acts.
The BGT live shows will start on Monday, 30 May and continue nightly throughout the week to Friday, 3 June, with the final airing at the weekend.
This means that Coronation Street and Emmerdale will be moved to a different time slot.
Emmerdale will return to the original timeslot of 7pm and everyday that week, Coronation Street will air a 30-minute episode straight after Emmerdale until 8pm.
This will be followed by Britain’s Got Talent, airing at 8pm to 10pm, with the performances and results revealed the same night.

It also means Emmerdale won’t air its usual hour-long episode on the Thursday.
That same week, Coronation Street has teased a devastating car crash as Abi Franklin and Imran Habeeb fight over baby Alfie.
The mechanic and the lawyer are fighting it out in court for the product of their one night stand and it looks to spell disaster for one of them.
A new trailer shows the wreckage of a car behind Imran as he and Abi spin around and around on the cobbles.
The haunting preview video starts when Abi and Imran lock eyes.

The pair are currently embroiled in a fight for custody of their son but solicitor and biological father Imran has paid an associate to lie about Abi, making it appear to the court that she’s back on drugs.
As the parents come face to face, the camera spins, throwing each of them to the floor in turn, and back up again as their story unfolds behind them, in the first scene we see Imran’s wife, Toyah, holding a crying Alfie.
Toyah is still struggling to cope with the revelation that her new husband was unfaithful and slept with Abi, resulting in him fathering baby Alfie and subsequently losing the child they were due to adopt.
ITV soaps boss John Whiston teased: “The pigeons really do come home to roost for some of Corrie’s best loved characters in this fantastic week of edge of your seat drama.

“Secrets unravel, truths hurt and lives well and truly turn upside down as the lengths Imran went to to take baby Alfie away from Abi are revealed.
“Whether your sympathies are with Abi, with Toyah or with Imran, this is not a week to be missed.”
