EastEnders fans have sparked outrage on Twitter as it’s announced there will not be an episode airing tonight.
Instead tonight on BBC One, viewers will be able to watch the FA cup match Wolverhampton Wanderers versus Liverpool. The match coverage will air from 7:30pm till 10pm.
On Friday (04.01.19) @bbceastenders tweeted “#EastEnders will be back on Tuesday, at 7:30pm. There’s a double bill on Friday to make up for it!”
There's no #EastEnders tonight, but we're back to normal tomorrow and there's a double bill on Friday! #EastEnders https://t.co/LxwgEl6hcZ

@EastEndersPress official Twitter page retweeted @bbceastenders original tweet commenting: “There’s no #EastEnders tonight, but we’re back to normal tomorrow and there’s a double bill on Friday! #EastEnders”
Despite the double bill on Friday to make up for tonight’s loss, fans of the show are not happy.
Can't believe there's no @bbceastenders #EastEnders tonight 😭
