The British Soap Awards is the biggest night of the year for the men and women of Soapland – a chance to put on their gladrags and let their hair down.
This year the ceremony will be held at dock10 studios in Manchester and broadcast on ITV.
There are six categories where the awards are chosen by the fans – sexiest female, sexiest male, villain of the year, best actor, best actress and best soap.
Michelle Keegan will be looking to make it five wins in a row for sexiest female, but faces some stiff competition from Georgia May Foote, Natalie Anderson, Jorgie Porter and Jacqueline Jossa.
As usual, all five soaps – Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Doctors – will compete for the night's biggest prize, the title of Best Soap.
