Hosted by This Morning presenters Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield, the British Soap Awards will see the soap world's finest don their most glamorous outfits.

Entries from the five biggest soaps are eligible - Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.

Britton said: "I love the Soap Awards and am just as excited this year, even though it's my third year of presenting it with Phillip.

"It's the highlight of the year for me and to stand in front of an audience of very famous people and iconic characters is just fantastic."

She added: "I'm not wearing anything that's too plunging but it's a very nice dress with a lot of sequins on it."

The awards honour outstanding achievement in the country's most popular television genre.

There are 17 awards and the categories are voted for either by a panel of expert judges or by the public. They include Sexiest Male and Female, Best Actor and Actress, Best Comedy Performance, Villain of the Year, Spectacular Scene of the Year, Best On-Screen Partnership and the ultimate accolade, Best British Soap which was won by Coronation Street last year.

There is also an annual Lifetime Achievement which is awarded to an individual who has displayed lifelong dedication to the genre.

Previous winners include Coronation Street's Johnny Briggs and EastEnders' Wendy Richards.
