ITV to reschedule Coronation Street and Emmerdale for Pride of Britain Awards

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 09:58 · Archive

ITV will disrupt Coronation Street and Emmerdale schedules on 22 October to broadcast the Pride of Britain Awards ceremony.

ITV will adjust its soap opera schedules next week due to the broadcast of the annual Pride of Britain Awards ceremony on 22 October. The awards show will air from 8pm to approximately 10.05pm, a slot that overlaps with the usual broadcast times for both Emmerdale and Coronation Street. While most of the week's episodes will follow their regular schedules, the awards ceremony will disrupt viewing plans for soap fans.

At present it is unclear whether ITV will offer alternative broadcast times, such as Sunday airings, for episodes affected by the schedule change. Such schedule adjustments are common when ITV broadcasts major events like awards ceremonies or football matches.

Separately, actress Kelli Hollis has announced she will return to Coronation Street after a gap of several months. Hollis, who plays character Paula, shared a video on Instagram to confirm her return. She previously appeared in the soap at the start of this year when her character was imprisoned.

Hollis said her scenes are believed to begin around 19 October, potentially as early as next week. She promised fans there would be drama ahead, writing: 'Paula's back on the cobbles next week! No spoilers... but trust me, it's not going to be plain sailing.'
