Emmerdale fans have called for a major change to the ITV soap, after a shake-up this week. The soap has changed things lightly amid Coronation Street airing a big week, with Britain's Got Talent also airing the live semi-finals.

For this week only, Emmerdale airs at 7PM followed by Corrie at 7:30PM for half an hour, with BGT then on at 8PM all week.
But fans were quick to plead with soap bosses to make the move permanent. Wanting the show to air in its old time slot again full-time, fans took to social media to beg the show to make it happen. One viewer said online: "Wish you would put it back to 7pm permanently.
