Up to 700 ITV production staff are to stage walkouts on 7 and 8 April in a protest over pay.
Unions warned the strike, at centres across the UK, could disrupt popular shows such as Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and Emmerdale.
But ITV has said it is unlikely viewers will notice any difference.
Okay, I know ITV really did say that, but the way it’s phrased made me snigger in a childish sort of way.
