Theresa May no confidence vote on TV: BBC announces changes to schedule for news special

A last-minute BBC News Special has been announced for this evening on BBC One, to cover the result and reaction to the confidence vote in Prime Minister Theresa May.

Mrs May is facing a vote of no-confidence from her party, which will be held between 6pm and 8pm. Mrs May addressed the impending vote on Wednesday morning, vowing to "fight" the leadership challenge with all she has.

The programme, titled May Leadership Challenge, will be hosted by Andrew Neil and air from 7.30pm until 9pm.

The One Show, which is scheduled from 7pm to 8pm, will end early and the previously scheduled 8pm broadcast of Shop Well For Less will be replaced by the news programme.

But fans of The Apprentice need not worry as the popular show is still slated to air in its usual 9pm slot.

The final five face the dreaded interview tasks this week, including settling down for a brutal chat with Lord Sugar's aide Claude Littner.

ITV has not yet commented on any scheduling changes.

Coronation Street airs at 7.30pm and 8.30pm, and an episode of Paul O'Grady's For The Love Of Dogs is on at 8pm.
