Channel 5 has pulled the latest episode of 22 Kids and Counting from its Sunday evening schedule, replacing it with coverage of the snooker players' championship. The reality show, which follows the Radford family, was due to air its fourth episode at 8pm but will instead be pre-empted by the snooker final from 6.30pm to 9pm.
The snooker broadcast, presented by Katie Shanahan, will feature the second session of the final from Telford International Centre. Last year's final saw Kyren Wilson defeat Judd Trump 10-9, but Wilson will not defend his title after failing to reach the top 16 ranking cut-off. Commentary and analysis will be provided by Stephen Hendry, Alan McManus, John Higgins and Matthew Stevens.
The Radford family will return the following Sunday with an episode focusing on son Max, who is preparing for his GCSEs. The 16-year-old, who is autistic, aspires to work on engineering projects involving planes, submarines, ships and rockets, but faces challenges with English as a subject. The episode will also explore Ellie Radford's relationship with her boyfriend Steven, as cracks begin to show ahead of their first anniversary.
