Coronation Street and Emmerdale aren't on AGAIN today – here's when they return

Coronation Street and Emmerdale viewers will have to wait a little longer for their next dose of drama, as both soaps have been pulled from ITV's schedule once again.

The popular shows have faced several disruptions in recent weeks, with sporting events and special programming forcing changes to their usual broadcast slots.

Tonight (Friday, 6 November) is no exception, as ITV's coverage of the Nations Championship means neither soap will be shown.

There will of course be plenty of drama to look forward to when they do.
