It had been previously confirmed that the soap would be moving to BBC Two on Monday and Tuesday this week, meaning fans won't miss out on their dose of Walford drama.

Double episodes will be aired across Monday and Tuesday between 7pm and 8pm, giving fans their usual week's worth of action from Albert Square.

Tonight's episodes will begin from 7pm on BBC Two as the BBC provides extensive coverage of all things Wimbledon, with Clare Balding presenting coverage of day one of the Grand Slam from the All England Club.

Today's matches include the men's and ladies' first round singles matches.

The BBC is yet to confirm what the EastEnders schedule will look like in the second week of Wimbledon, so fans will just have to hold tight!
