ITV confirm massive changes to Sunday night schedule
BROADCASTER ITV has revealed its fresh Sunday schedule amid a huge shake-up.
The terrestrial channel has switched up its ordinary programming to accommodate additional news bulletins and feature shows dedicated to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Majesty died peacefully at the age of 96 on Thursday, with her family by her side.
As such, the schedules were cleared for Royal tributes, with normal Saturday night programming continuing with a few tweaks.
Sunday's offering sees iconic ITV soap Emmerdale airing in a different slot - this being at 6:35pm.
At 7:30pm, Gino's Italy: Like Mamma Used to Make will air as billed, as will Ridley at 8pm.

The ITV news and weather will broadcast at 9:55pm in a change to listings, while at 10:30pm, a new documentary on The Young Elizabeth will air.
The Queen's Green Planet will air at 11:25pm, while just after midnight, schedules make way for The Queen Remembered.
This means popular shows including Ninja Warrior UK: Race For Glory, Tipping Point: Best Ever Finals and Celebrity Lingo will be scrapped.
As too will Bradley & Barney Walsh's series, Breaking Dad.
