Unforgotten fans in uproar as new episode delayed due to Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview

‘How dare ITV mess with Unforgotten,’ one angry viewer wrote

Fans of Unforgotten are furious that the next episode has been delayed due to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview airing in the UK.

It has been announced that the third instalment of the ITV drama has been moved fro its usual Monday slot so the channel can air Oprah Winfrey’s interview with the royals instead.

The channel’s boss, Kevin Lygo, said in statement: “This interview is already a national talking point and ITV is pleased to be able to offer UK audiences the opportunity to see it.”

However, the decision has angered Unforgotten fans who are desperate to catch up with DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and DI Sunil “Sunny” Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar).

Episode three will be shown the following evening (9 March) at 9pm.

“Eurgh, would much rather an episode of Unforgotten tbh,” one person wrote, with another adding: “I am now raging.”

“WTF, how dare ITV mess with Unforgotten,” another said.

“ What the hell are @ITV doing. #Unforgotten is critical to the country in these dark times,” one fan wrote.
