Coronation Street's temporary shifting of timeslots later this month means it will go head-to-head with EastEnders.

This week, it was confirmed that the ITV soap would be returning to its 7.30pm slot from 8pm during the week of the Britain's Got Talent semi-final live shows, starting May 30.

However, this week-long shake up means it will clash with EastEnders, which airs at 7.30pm too – Corrie will air for half an hour before Britain's Got Talent's 8pm two-hour slot.

Previously, Corrie aired after Britain's Got Talent post-watershed, though things have been changed this year.

The soap only recently shifted to its new schedule, moving to the now-standard 8pm slot and airing for an hour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Corrie is airing a big week of episodes, which recently got a new trailer that confirmed the culmination of Imran Habeeb and Abi Webster's custody battle.

"Weatherfield is spinning out of control and lives are turned upside down as Coronation Street premieres a dramatic new promotional trailer," a statement teased.

"As the battle for baby Alfie intensifies between parents Abi and Imran, residents of the street will face the consequences in an unmissable week which promises chaos and carnage on the cobbles."

Meanwhile, in other EastEnders news, a new preview has been released that hints that Janine Butcher's plan to isolate Linda Carter may not go too smoothly.

EastEnders normally airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer. Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
