Its also been confirmed a crew member on Emmerdale contracted Covid and caused a mini outbreak causing filming to be suspended on that soap as well.

The writers have their work cut out for them, and with a lot of jiggling around to do, they will need to be extra creative.

Recently an ITV spokesperson told sun online “Coronation Street will pause filming from next Monday, 25 January for two weeks to undertake some rewriting of stories and scripts as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.

Intensive cleaning and complete reviews of the systems in place to keep actors and crew members safe will be undertaken, and this suspension of filming allows us to do that.

The news follows last years delays as the shooting was halted on both shows due to increased health and safety measures due to Covid.
