On Wednesday normality will resume, with both soaps showing on their usual slots.

But this hasn't gone down well, with one fan taking to X: "Bloody football changing the schedule again".

"I love watching the Euros. I also love watching Emmerdale and Corrie. Why do we have to miss our soaps for the footy? There would be uproar if it was the other way round", another raged.

"Why doesn't football have its own dedicated channel", a third questioned.

"It's about time this nonsense stopped,, there is no need to cancel corras for (football emoji) there are enough channels for both," echoed a fourth.

"Boo to the football!!!" another simply wrote.

Several viewers argued that the episodes could have been put on ITV X instead.

Others moaned that ITV had "plenty of channels" to air the football on.
