The evening news programme will be extended to an hour, airing from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, with ITV confirming more focus on reporting outside of London.

Emmerdale will move to the 7:30pm slot every weeknight and Coronation Street will move to hour-long episodes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm.

Meanwhile EastEnders will air on BBC One, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights at 7.30pm.

What is happening in this week’s soaps?

It’s a dramatic week in Emmerdale, Corrie and EastEnders.

In Emmerdale, Manpreet pays Meena a visit in prison in exchange for her confession.

When Manpreet finally arrives, Meena asserts they need to take responsibility for their actions; meaning Manpreet will have to reveal that she lied to police in her testimony to protect Liam.

Manpreet is furious and slaps Meena across the face.

In last night’s Coronation Street (Sunday, March 6) Abi was doubled over in pain.

Alone on the side of a country road, she rang for an ambulance and explained she was having a baby.

This week Abi lets herself into No.13. Assuming her to be drunk, Debbie tells her she wants her out by the end of the day.

When Tyrone opens the garage he sees a customer’s car is missing. Seeing Abi with a bag of booze, Tyrone suggests she had something to do with it.
