If you do not want to know the winners look away now!
Eastenders managed to scoop the following awards:-
Sexiest Male: Scott Maslen (Jack Branning)
Fourth time winner!
Best On-Screen Relationship: Jo Joyner and Jake Wood
(Tanya & Max Branning)
Best Dramatic Performance: Jo Joyner
(Tanya Branning)
Best Young Performance: Lorna Fitzgerald
(Abi Branning)
Yet another Branning member to win a gong!
Special Achievement: Simon Ashdown
Lifetime Achievement: Pam St Clement
(Pat Butcher)
Whilst Eastenders missed out on Best Storyline (Nomination: Tanya's Cancer; Winner: Jackson's Choice - Emmerdale) and Best Exit (Nomination: Pat's death; Winner: Katherine Kelly - Coronation Street), there were smiles around as Eastenders won Best Soap for the 5th consecutive year running.
There were also a few surprise awards including Pam St Clement who won Lifetime Achievement and Simon Ashdown for Special Achievement. Pam thanked all those involved in the making of Eastenders and to her on-screen family who she claimed were just that - family.
Simon was also shocked and grateful for his award. A writer for the show since 1995 and now series consultant and lead writer, Simon is the mastermind of the much loved characters on the soap, the Slater and Branning family. He is also responsible for many of the controversial and hard hitting storylines including Who Killed Archie Mitchell? and the live show which marked Eastenders 25th anniversary. It is perhaps the mark of his talent, that most of the awards won by the BBC soap were attributed to one of Simon's creations - the members of the Branning family.
The show saw an overall improvement compared to last year's four awards. It proves that the show keeps going from strength to strength.
Coronation Street also had a successful night as ITV soap scooped a total of seven awards.
