British Soap Awards 2023: who were the winners - when was the awards ceremony?

The British Soap Awards returned, as stars of Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Doctors descended onto the red carpet to receive official recognition for their work on the small screen.

Often dubbed as the biggest night for British soaps, this is a much-anticipated time for fans as they get to relive the most exciting, emotional and memorable moments in the likes of Albert Square and Letherbridge over the past year.

Here is all you need to know about this year's British Soap Awards, such as when it is, who is hosting the ceremony and how to watch. Not forgetting a full list of the actors nominated for each of the 10 categories.

When is the British Soap Awards 2023?

The ceremony will take place on Saturday, 3 June 2023. It is held at The Lowry in Salford.

Who is hosting the British Soap Awards 2023?

The face of this year's British Soap Awards has been up in the air in recent weeks, as it was previously arranged that This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield would continue hosting the event, which he has done since 2006. But given the controversy surrounding the 61-year-old, who resigned from ITV and faces scrutiny over an affair with a younger male colleague, he has been removed.

Instead, two days before this year's ceremony it was confirmed that Jane McDonald will take over as host. The former Loose Women panellist reacted to her new gig with a statement posted on social media, where she said she "couldn't wait" for the opportunity.

Jane McDonald said: "Everyone knows how much I LOVE my soaps, this year I've been honoured to be mentioned in Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale so this is just a dream come true. I can't wait to see all our wonderful soap nominees and celebrate all their hard work with them – roll on the awards, I can't wait."
