Britain's Got Talent final and British Soap Awards moved to make way for Ariana Grande Manchester benefit concert.

 The two big TV events have been moved to avoid clash with the star-studded concert at Emirates Old Trafford on Sunday.

 

Thet Britain’s Got Talen final has been moved from Sunday night so as not to distract from the Ariana Grande benefit concert on Sunday.
The final will now be screened live on Saturday June 3 at 7.30pm.
To make way for the rescheduled BGT final, the British Soap Awards - which are taking place in Salford Quays that night - has moved from Saturday night and will now air on Tuesday June 6th at 8pm.
An ITV spokesperson said: “Ariana Grande’s ‘One Love Manchester’ benefit concert is bringing artists and the public together, and will raise funds for the Red Cross Manchester Emergency Fund.
 “ITV and Britain’s Got Talent have no desire to distract from this important cause, so we have taken the decision to move the Britain’s Got Talent Final from Sunday night.”

Ariana will return to the city following the terror attack at her Manchester Arena concert to perform a star-studded benefit at the Emirates Old Trafford.
The concert, also featuring superstars including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Coldplay, will be screened on BBC One from 6pm to 9pm.
The British Soap Awards 2017, held at Salford’s Lowry Theatre, was due to be screened live for the first time ever in the awards’ 18-year history.
In previous years the event has taken place on a Saturday night, but not screened on ITV until several days later.

Categories include Best Actress and Actor, Best Villain and the coveted Best Soap gong.
Organisers of the event try to ensure, for balance, that the awards are hosted in Manchester and London in rotation every year.
The last time it was held in Manchester, in May 2015, the awards ceremony was at The Palace Theatre.
