Australian favourite Neighbours scooped best daytime soap, and cast member Ryan Moloney took home best daytime star.

Coronation Street was also honoured with Carla's mental health episode winning best show-stopper and soap superstar going to Sally Dynevor.

Lisa Dingle's departure gave Emmerdale a win for best exit and the soap also won best partnership for Dominic Brunt and Lucy Pargeter (Paddy Kirk and Chas Dingle).

Inside Soap editor Steven Murphy said: "It's been an amazing soap year, in fact, the awards have never been more keenly fought."

He added: "Looking down the winners list, the UK should be extremely proud of our soaps and our soap stars, as the breadth of talent among the winners is astonishing.

"We can't wait to celebrate all that is great about our wonderful soaps."
