The two ITV soaps announced that episodes broadcast that night are now available on YouTube from 7am.
It follows the early release of episodes on ITV’s streaming platform ITVX from October last year, as part of ITV’s strategy to offer viewers the “ultimate choice in how they watch”.

The move comes after ITV announced that a crossover episode between both soaps was in the works, with the hour-long special set to air next year.
In a tweet from the official Corrie and Emmerdale X (Twitter) accounts yesterday (June 29), it read: “Soap fans, rejoice! Starting tomorrow, full episodes will be available on YouTube from 7am — the same day they air on TV! #Corrie #Emmerdale @ITV”
Both of the soaps official YouTube channels currently have “video exclusives, all the news, storylines and spoilers from the show”.

Taking to Twitter, fans shared their excitement at the announcement.
