Emmerdale is set for a major schedule change this week as the ITV soap will be pulled off air to make way for the football.
The broadcaster will instead be screening the FA Cup on Tuesday and Wednesday. ITV and BBC will be airing the Fulham v Leeds FA Cup match, which kicks off at 7.45pm on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile Manchester United will be taking on West Ham United at Old Trafford, with a kick-off time of 7.45pm on Wednesday. To make up for the missing episode, Emmerdale will air an hour-long episode on Thursday and Friday.
The schedule change comes as Emmerdale actor Tony Audenshaw recently addressed rumours about his affair storyline.
The star, who plays Bob Hope recently took on the village B&B with Bernice Blackstock however some viewers claim could be sexual tension between the pair.
Acting star Tony has discussed what the future might hold for Bob and Bernice. Talking to Digital Spy about whether the characters could embark on a steamy affair, Tony said: “You never know, do you? You never know what's going to happen with these relationships, if there is a spark.

“There's certainly some sort of chemistry between them, but Bob has said that those days are very much behind him. He's very happy with Wendy.”
Tony added: “I suppose in any relationship, when somebody's spending a lot of time with someone else, they might have suspicions that something is going on.”
