Love Island fans warned - show will not air at 9pm tonight

Love Island will not air at 9pm tonight in an extremely rare move - with viewers warned not to tune in at the usual time.

The popular show was shunted out of the slot it has occupied on ITV2 for nearly a decade, with music comedy Pitch Perfect 3 showing in its place. Tonight's action from the villa will air at the later time of 10pm instead and end at 11.05pm.

The culprit, as so often in TV schedule shake-ups is football, with England vs Slovenia's Euro 2024 game airing over on ITV1 from 6.45pm with kick-off live from Germany at 8pm.

The move means that fans of both tournament football and Love Island will be able to watch both - and makes sure the dating show doesn't suffer a dip in ratings from viewers deciding to watch the Group C match instead.

Other TV big-hitters affected tonight include Emmerdale, which will not air at all on Tuesday, and The One Show, which is on for just 20 minutes on BBC Two.

Over on BBC One, France v Poland is being shown from 4.30pm and EastEnders has been pushed back a day to make way for live sport. Netherlands v Austria is being broadcast on BBC Two from 4.45pm.

Things will return to normal tomorrow night, with Love Island airing in its regular 9pm slot on ITV2 and the ITVX streaming service.

Programmes often have to make way for football because the ratings - and the amount that can be charged for advertising - for live events is so high.

Tonight, viewers will be tuning in to see if England can improve on their lacklustre performance on Thursday night when they face Slovenia in their final group game, with manager Gareth Southgate insisting: "We know where we need to be better."

He added: "We have been brutally honest about that - and that's how you work as a team, that's how you coach a team and how you improve performance."

Happily, England are already through to the last 16 of the competition, after Spain beat Albania, meaning that even in third place in their group the team would go through because of their performance in the tournament so far.
