Emmerdale will be in a huge schedule shake-up next week due to the football.
Soap watchers hoping to tune into the hit ITV soap next Thursday (10 October) will be sad to see the hit ITV soap instead replaced by UEFA Nations League Live, where it’s England Vs Greece.
Viewers will recall that typically airs on weekdays at 7:30pm with Thursdays airing an hour special. However, next Thursday will see the hour special slot instead replaced by the football.
The schedule shake-up comes amid a slew of explosive storylines on with Tuesday night airing a huge Belle Dingle and Tom King twist.
Only recently, Belle attacked evil Tom with an axe in self-defence after he threatened to kill her after months of abuse. Tom told the police the whole thing was just a “blank” and he couldn’t remember who was responsible, reports .

However, on Tuesday night, Tom told Belle if she dropped the allegations against him that he had abused her, despite being true, he wouldn’t tell the police she was responsible for the attack.
Belle was horrified as Tom tried to gaslight her and after he continued to threaten her, it looked as though Belle was going along with Tom’s plan – especially when he asked for a kiss on the cheek, where he kissed her on the lips in a vile twist.
Later at the hospital, Tom lied to the police and said it was two random men who attacked him, claiming he had never seen them before.
However, at the end of the episode, Belle headed to the police where she revealed the truth and handed in the weapon to officers before dropping a shock bombshell. (Image: ITV)

Belle bravely said: “I’ve attacked my husband in self-defence, he wanted to kill me, I’m a victim of domestic abuse” as the explosive episode came to an end.
