Holly will be back on ITV viewers screens on Monday after the broadcaster suspended programming for days in the wake of the Queen’s death.

Holly and Phillip Schofield will present a special edition of the show in the later time slot of 11am, until 1pm.

The episode will feature stories and memories from people who met and encountered The Queen during her reign.

EastEnders will also return to BBC One later that evening, while Coronation Street will also be back on ITV viewers screens.

The broadcaster will continue to air rolling news coverage – with a BBC News special filling regular TV slots alongside HM The King: Westminster Tributes and Scotland: A Service For HM The Queen.

However, the fan-favourite soap will return to BBC One at 8.30pm, having been moved from its usual channel on Friday alongside Homes Under The Hammer and Bargain Hunt which aired on BBC Two.

The highly-anticipated episode will see Alfie Moon, played by Shane Richie, return to Walford on the wedding day of Kat Slater and Phil Mitchell, played by Jessie Wallace and Steve McFadden.

The soap famously has royal links with King Charles III, Camilla and the Queen all previously visiting Albert Square.

In 2001, the Queen visited soap legend Dame Barbara Windsor, who played Peggy Mitchell, on the EastEnders set as well as June Brown.

The monarch stepped behind the bar at the Queen Vic, strolled around Albert Square and through the EastEnders street market, meeting stars of the show.

Earlier this year, in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Charles and Camilla made a surprise appearance on the soap.

The royal couple filmed the scenes in March when they visited the new Elstree set and met the cast and crew of the long-running BBC soap opera.

On Monday, Antiques Roadshow, Flog It! and Glorious Gardens From Above will air on BBC Two to make room for Queen-related content.

HM The King: Westminster Tributes on BBC One will offer an hour of live coverage of King Charles’ visit to the Palace of Westminster while Scotland: A Service For HM The Queen covers Charles’ visit to Scotland, where he attends a service for the Queen.

The channel will also show Scotland: The Vigil offering coverage from St Giles’ Cathedral where the Queen’s children stand vigil in tribute and a special edition of The One Show titled Our Queen Remembered.

Meanwhile on ITV, Good Morning Britain with Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard will air from 6am until 10am in place of Martin’s Money Mondays, which is to be followed by an ITV news special titled The King’s Tour – Westminster.

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will host a special This Morning from 11am, featuring stories and memories from people who encountered the Queen during her reign, the broadcaster said.

At 1pm, ITV will air Queen Elizabeth II: Lying At Rest which will be broadcast throughout the afternoon before Tipping Point, The Chase and Coronation Street returns to the channel.

The Coronation Street episode that will air on Monday was originally scheduled for Friday but was postponed in the wake of the Queen’s death.

The broadcaster will also air an extended ITV News at Ten programme, it said.
