EastEnders gets rid of usual iPlayer episode for Christmas Day

EastEnders has gotten into quite the habit of uploading its episodes early on the day that they are due to air.

This means that fans can watch the daily episodes at any point in the day to fit around their own schedules.

However, on Christmas Day, there will be no early iPlayer episode uploaded meaning that viewers will have to wait until the episode airs on BBC One in the evening.

This is to stop fans from spoiling the episode for others as everyone watches together.

The episode will air on BBC One for one hour from 9.45-10.45pm. A Joe Swash whodunnit special will then air at 10.45pm on BBC Three.
