British Soap Awards 2023 winners revealed as Coronation Street wins SIX gongs but misses out on big one
CORONATION Street was the big winner at this year’s British Soap Awards scooping six prizes – but it failed to snatch the big gong.
The ITV soap’s hard-hitting acid attack storyline, actress Charlotte Jordan and Dame Maureen Lipman were all honoured at the glittering bash in Salford’s Lowry Theatre.
Dame Maureen was crowned Best Comedy Performer for her role as Evelyn Plummer.
Cobbles’ newcomer Channique Sterling-Brown also took home her own gong for Best Newcomer.
Best Single Episode went to stalker Justin’s dramatic acid attack on Daisy Midgeley and Ryan Connor, while Daisy actress Charlotte Jordan also took home the award for Best Dramatic Performance.
The acid attack storyline also won again for Best Storyline.
Coronation Street took home the award for Best Soap Family for The Platts
But while Corrie took home a whopping six awards, it lost out on the coveted Best British Soap award to BBC rival EastEnders.
Villain of the year went to EastEnders killer Aaron Thiara for his role of murdering hunk Ravi Gulati.
EastEnders’ Lily Slater star Lillia Turner took home the gong for Best Young Performer.
And Danielle Harold won Best Leading Performer for her work as tragic cancer victim Lola Pearce-Brown.
Meanwhile Hollyoaks took home two awards with Eric’s incel plot being named Best Storyline, and The Tony Warren Award going to casting superstar Peter Hunt.
And despite a bumper year, Emmerdale could only manage one win.
The ITV soap failed to win a single storyline award, but did take home a lifetime achievement award for Marlon Dingle star Mark Charnock.
Meanwhile Doctors took home the prize for Best On-screen partnership for stars Chris Walker and Jan Pearson.
The awards show, hosted by Jane McDonald, will air on Tuesday night on ITV1.
Jane stepped in after disgraced host Phillip Schofield was forced to quit following affair revelations.
