EastEnders fans are absolutely livid about Euro 2016

They're fuming

Ben Kenyon

Hell hath no fury like an EastEnders fan scorned, it seems.

And the BBC has pissed them right off.

Followers of the grand old Beeb soap dutifully tuned in to see the latest goings-on around Albert Square only to find it wasn’t on.

The show had been dropped and the decks had been cleared so the BBC could air the evening game between Italy and Belgium, which ended with a 2-0 win for the Azurri.

Yes there’s a high-profile European football tournament on, but the EastEnders faithful were not in a forgiving mood – not when things with homicidal little shit Bobby Beale have been hotting up.

They didn’t react well to clicking on the box to see a lacklustre Belgium wilt against the evergreen Italians…

We’re not going to lie guys, if this has made your shit itch, it’s only going to get worse as we get deeper into the Euros.

Eastenders is back on Thursday and Friday night but next Monday’s episode is cancelled

And Coronation Street and Emmerdale over on ITV are being given the run-around because of the football coverage.

They’re not going to be happy.
