One of the UK’s best-loved soaps, Coronation Street, is to have its usual time slot pushed back to 9 pm next week.

The show, which usually airs at 7.30 pm or 8.30 pm, is shifting its schedule to post-watershed to allow the programme to air grisly storylines.

In its place, the Masked Dancer is airing every day all week apart from Wednesday, when England is playing its World Cup Qualifying match against Austria.

The week will commence with an hour-long episode on Monday, followed by half an hour shows on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

In one of Coronation Street’s most dramatic weeks yet, fans will bear witness to a violent shootout involving Gary Windass as he uncovers the frightening truth behind Sam’s kidnapping.

Jenny is also closing in on Sharon Bentley, who took part in Sam’s kidnap for her nephew Harvey, played by our very own Will Mellor.

Will Gary be ok?
