The BBC will now show EastEnders tonight (Tuesday December 5). Instead they will air an extra episode later in the week to catch up.
Fans were left on tenterhooks after Phil discovered Keanu and Karen were behind the kidnap of Albie. But we won’t find out what he does with that information until Wednesday.
So when is EastEnders on this week?
Is EastEnders on tonight?
EastEnders will not air on BBC One on Tuesday December 5. It also hasn’t been put on iPlayer.
This is due to football. England’s Lionesses are taking on Scotland at Hampden Park. It’s part of the UEAFA Women’s Nations League and the Scottish side will be hoping for revenge after England beat them at Sunderland earlier this year.
Coverage of the sporting event will start at 7.30pm and kick off is at 7.45pm.
But it means EastEnders has been moved.
When is EastEnders on BBC One and iPlayer this week?
The soap aired its Monday (December 4) episode as normal. However, a post on their social media yesterday revealed the next episode will air at 7.30pm on Wednesday, followed by 7.30pm on Thursday and again at 7.30pm on Friday.
The episodes will be released early on iPlayer every day – from Wednesday through to Friday, at 6am.
