Hosted by Bradley Walsh, the ITV show usually airs at 5pm on ITV One every weekday, with a celebrity special on every Saturday.
However, on Monday, July 7, the show will now be shown at its usual time slot.
Disruptions due to sporting events
This is because of the Spain vs Belgium game, with coverage for the 5 pm kick-off match starting at 4:15.
Instead, a second celebrity special will be broadcast at 5:30pm on Sunday, July 12.
The Chase will return to its 5pm time slot on Tuesday, July 8.
Last month, The Chase was taken off air to make way for coverage of Royal Ascot.
The quiz show was cancelled for the entire week to make way for the horse racing event.
Soaps also affected by TV shake-up
Soap fans will be disappointed to hear that both Coronation Street and Emmerdale will be affected by schedule changes this week.
Coronation Street is usually on TV on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 8pm to 9pm.
However, there will be no episodes on Monday and Wednesday this week, to make way for the women's Euros.
The Chase fans left screaming as player gets 'ridiculously easy' question wrong - but would you know the answer-
Instead an episode will air at 9pm on Thursday, with Friday's episode on air as normal.
Emmerdale will also not be airing on Monday or Wednesday, to make way for the Portugal vs Italy and France vs Wales games.
EastEnders fans have also had to deal with schedule shakeups recently, with the BBC soap off air for eight days, from July 1 to July 9.
This is due to coverage of Wimbledon.

ITV Karen Pirie season two ending explained as devastating murder case solved
Karen Pirie has returned to ITV with a second season and a new case to solve After a lengthy three-year hiatus, the much-anticipated return of Karen Pirie has graced our screens with its second series on ITV. Adapted from Val McDermid's acclaimed Inspector Karen Pirie novels, the drama features Outlander star Lauren Lyle as the eponymous protagonist, portraying a bold and spirited Scottish detective "with a quick mouth and a tenacious desire for the truth". The latest series, entitled A Darker Domain, sees Pirie embroiled in yet another cold case, peeling back layers of deception to unearth the grim realities shrouded in secrecy and a tangled web of potential motives. The three-part season exposes the 1984 kidnap of a charming heiress to a vast oil fortune, Catriona Grant, and her two-year-old son Adam. They were brutally taken and held at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife, with the ransom notes leading to an uncontrollable press storm. However, as the kidnappers retreated into silence and the police investigation hit a dead end, the fate of Catriona and Adam remained shrouded in enigma, reports the Mirror. The discovery of a corpse connected to the original kidnapping, the first shred of evidence in decades, propels Pirie and her squad into what could be the defining case of their careers, all while under the watchful eye of Catriona's father. "As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear... the past is far from dead," hints the tantalising synopsis. Karen Pirie season two ending explained - what happened to Catriona Grant? In a startling revelation, it turns out that Catriona (portrayed by Julia Brown) was complicit in her own abduction. Motivated by a desire to retaliate against her father Brodie (played by James Cosmo) upon learning that he had exploited Fergus (John Michie) - Adam's covert biological father - to conceal the fatalities caused by his oil operations, Cat and her boyfriend Mick (Mark Rowley) orchestrated a faux kidnapping. Her plan was to abscond with her father's wealth and start afresh with Adam, but this scheme was thrown into chaos when Mick's mates Andy and Kevin got entangled in their plot. Mick, sceptical of Kevin, aimed to keep Cat's involvement in the kidnapping under wraps, leading to a heated debate about whether they should disclose the truth to Kevin. When Kevin eavesdropped on their dispute, he threatened to expose the truth to Brodie, prompting Cat to shoot him in the head, resulting in his death. His body was discovered years later, triggering the commencement of the investigation. However, his remains weren't the only ones unearthed. Pirie's team stumbled upon Cat's body in a cave, with viewers soon discovering that her mother, Brodie's former wife Mary (Frances Tomelty), was responsible for her death following an emotional confession. Fergus and Brodie had uncovered Cat's role in orchestrating the entire kidnapping, and arranged a meeting with Mick, Andy and Cat to hand over the money. Unbeknownst to them, Mary had trailed them armed with a gun, intending to frighten off the actual kidnappers, oblivious to the fact that her daughter had been aware of the whole situation all along. Upon reaching the cave, she fired two shots, accidentally killing Cat and triggering a collapse that left her trapped inside. Mick, Andy, and Adam managed to get away, while Brodie and Mary concealed the truth for years, clinging to the hope that Cat had somehow survived. They weren't the only ones to discover the truth however, as Adam, re-named Gabriel after Mick raised him in Italy, learned who he really was and about his biological father and mother. The case ends with the arrests of Mary and Brodie, and Adam meeting his biological father Fergus, who is also on trial, but choosing to continue living his life with Mick in Malta, as he couldn't be reached by the Scottish authorities there. "There's no joy in closing a case like this, no joy, no celebration," Karen reflects as the series draws to a close. "Because my job is about finding answers, and I hope those answers bring peace. "But sometimes they aren't the answers that anyone wants to hear, people aren't who you expect them to be, victims don't always fit the ideal narrative. "Money and power can help you re-write history until even you believe it, but [in the end] everyone needs the truth, so I'll keep looking for it."

Shirtless Tinie Tempah displays his muscular physique on the beach in Mallorca ahead of Love Island appearance - as he prepares for musical comeback
Tinie Tempah showcased his muscular physique as he enjoyed a day at the beach in Mallorca, Spain on Monday. The rapper, 36, has flown to the Spanish island to make a musical appearance on Love Island. Ahead of going into the villa, Tinie enjoyed some down time as he went surfing with a friend to make the most of his trip. The hitmaker displayed his gym-honed physique in black shorts and he also sported a loose-fitting white T-shirt and a pair of sunglasses. Tinie, whose real name is Patrick Okogwu, will perform his new single Eat It Up on Tuesday's episode of Love Island. The rapper, 36, has flown to the Spanish island to make a musical appearance on Love Island The Spanish villa will be transformed into a full on festival wonderland, giving the Islanders the chance to let loose and celebrate their summer of love in style with music, dancing, and all the big Love Island energy. ITV producers have also booked Tinie to perform, with the Islanders having no idea of his planned set until he arrived at the villa. It comes after Tinie announced his return to music 'to save Britain's clubs' after quitting 'to change nappies and raise his kids' during an appearance on This Morning. The singer appeared on the ITV chat show on Friday to mark his industry comeback, nearly ten years after his last album Youth in 2017. The artist, whose new single Eat It Up came out on Thursday, told presenters Dermot O'Leary, 52, and Sian Welby, 38, what he has been up to - and his current plans. The Pass Out hitmaker explained his hiatus: 'I basically stepped back a bit just to settle down, have kids, all that stuff, do the school run, change nappies.' And he used his appearance on the sofa to spread the word about preserving British nightlife and music venues, which have been in decline since the pandemic. Tinie married artist Eve De Haan in 2019, the daughter of the Saga insurance firm's former owner Sir Roger De Haan. They share two daughters, born in 2018 and 2021. The rapper told Dermot and Sian: 'I was watching my kids grow up and I was thinking, "Wow, they're actually not going to be able to experience me in some of these venues that maybe my siblings did or friends that I grew up with did. '"I need to do this for them".' During his break from making music, he also bought a recording studio in London to support other rappers and singers. He explained: 'Seeing all these incredible artists coming in and out of my studio and hearing their bangers, I was doing DIY, painting the walls, sanding the floors, and people are making bangers. 'And I was like, "I'm not a carpenter, I need to get back on to the music!"' Tinie said his return to the industry was also 'really motivated by the landscape of where we were economically'. He pointed out how since gigs stopped and event spaces closed during the Covid pandemic, the nation has lost around three venues a month. A staggering 480 clubs vanished between June 2020 and September 2024, according to figures from the Night Time Industries Association. Even the capital was hit hard, going from 200 venues in 2020 to just 143 four years later. An association spokesman has previously said: ''The rapid decline is devastating for our economy. 'Without urgent Government intervention, we risk losing a key part of the UK's cultural identity in dance music.' It has a bigger effect than on just artists, Tinie emphasised: 'If you think about the bouncer that works there, the barmaid, the person that's working at the cloakroom, there's a little cottage economy in there. 'So, I think the best thing people can do is just keep attending, keep going.' The musician continued: 'I know there's so many other things going on in the world that we should be concerned about. 'However, as an artist, I'm thinking of the next generation of acts and I'm thinking if they don't have the same venues that I did, now they have virtually no venues, how are we going to get all these exciting genres like drum and bass and garage and grime and house music that were birthed out of these spaces?' Tinie added it is especially important 'in a time of division': 'As simple as it is, music brings joy, it brings people together and so we need to preserve these spaces. 'And I'm hoping that my little voice can start off hopefully a domino effect of other artists identifying the problem and being a voice as well.' He concluded: 'Let's keep some of these institutions alive because that's what they are, some of these places are institutions. 'I hear people that are in their fifties and sixties talk about the Hacienda [club in Manchester] and we need venues like that that we'll be talking about for years to come.'

Why Lucy Punch Decided To Face Her Fears On Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters
Lucy Punch's acting career has taken her from the school corridors of St Trinian's to her maisonette in SoHa (south Harlesden) in Amandaland to 'the shark capital of the world' with ITV. Despite often being cast as snooty, posh characters who think getting the bus is below them, the real life Lucy was brave enough to submerge herself in shark infested waters in the name of entertainment on Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters. With an impressive list of credits up her sleeve, here's everything you need to know about Lucy, including the noughties films you may have seen her in before. Lucy Punch is an English actress from Hammersmith in London. She performed with the National Youth Theatre between 1993 and 1997 and then enrolled at University College London before dropping out to pursue acting. She is perhaps best known for her role as Amanda in Sharon Horgan's hit series Motherland , which earned her a spin-off show called Amandaland which launched in February this year. Lucy is 47 years old. She was born on 30 December 1977. Lucy has starred in everything from the Woody Allen film Into the Woods to A Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix, Bad Teacher and the How to Build a Girl series where she played Sylvia Plath. Speaking about her triumphant role as Amanda in Motherland and Amandaland, Lucy said, 'I've always thought of Amanda as an arrested teenager. She's a mean girl. Now it's almost like she's coming of age, growing up a bit, having to make friends, having to try.' Of course, Lucy's most recent project took her to the Bahamas to conquer her fear of sharks. 'We really are right in the middle of nowhere in the sea on our own with a load of sharks but I'm hoping when Tristin comes he's going to reassure us about what we are doing and that it's safer than it looks,' she said in the first episode. She is joined on the new show by Helen George, Ade Adepitan, Rachel Riley, Dougie Poynter, Lenny Henry and Ross Noble. Lucy has reportedly been with her partner Dinos Chapman since 2014 and they live together in LA. Dinos is one half of the visual art duo The Chapman Brothers. He has two daughters from his previous marriage to Tiphaine de Lussy. While Lucy has two sons aged nine and three. No, Lucy is notoriously private about her personal life and does not have social media. Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters is on Mondays on ITV1 at 9pm or you can stream the entire series on ITVX. Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news. She has also written for the i, i-D and the New Statesman Media Group and covers all things pop culture for Grazia (treating high and lowbrow with equal respect).
