Corrie fans needn't worry either as the soap isn't usually scheduled to run on Tuesdays and instead airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Eastenders and Emmerdale have been postponed
The news of the soap shake-up comes just before a major rescheduling on ITV. The news is due to be extended for an extra half an hour, while Emmerdale will air at 7.30pm rather than 7pm and Coronation Street will be shown for an hour from 8pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
The BBC will also be shaking up the timings for their usual visit to Albert Square as the soap will now be broadcast Monday through to Thursday at 7.30pm. This means that Eastenders will be going up against Emmerdale in competing for viewership.

ITV’s Managing Director of Media and Entertainment, Kevin Lygo announced the changes, saying: "As viewing habits rapidly change, live audiences to our national and international news programmes remain remarkably strong.
"The nation’s two most popular continuing dramas, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, are fundamental to the success of ITV, and we know that, as with all dramas, viewers increasingly watch them whenever, and however they choose."
