Coronation Street will move back to its 7.30pm slot for one week only, as the Britain's Got Talent live shows return.

The ITV soap had a schedule shake-up in March, shifting to a new format of airing hour-long episodes at 8pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

In the week commencing Monday, May 30, Corrie will get a special schedule to tie in with the return of the Britain's Got Talent semi-finals.

Corrie will air for 30 minutes every night from Monday to Friday in a 7.30pm timeslot, with Britain's Got Talent following in a two-hour slot at 8pm.

In previous years, Corrie has aired in a post-watershed 9pm slot for Britain's Got Talent week, but ITV has changed its approach for 2022.

Earlier this week, Corrie bosses launched a new trailer to tie in with the big week of episodes.

The promo confirms that the ongoing custody battle between Imran Habeeb and Abi Webster will soon come to a head in dramatic style.

A statement released by the show teased: "Weatherfield is spinning out of control and lives are turned upside down as Coronation Street premieres a dramatic new promotional trailer.

"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."

John Whiston, MD Continuing Drama and Head of ITV in the North, added: "The pigeons really do come home to roost for some of Corrie's best loved characters in this fantastic week of edge of your seat drama.

"Secrets unravel, truths hurt and lives well and truly turn upside down as the lengths Imran went to, to take baby Alfie away from Abi are revealed. Whether your sympathies are with Abi, with Toyah or with Imran, this is not a week to be missed."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
