British Soap Awards 2013: the winners in full
Coronation Street dominates with eight prizes at this year's ceremony while rival soap EastEnders takes home just one award
Coronation Street has scooped eight awards at this year’s BSAs at MediaCityUK in Manchester, while EastEnders took home its lowest ever number of prizes. In an evening dominated by Corrie’s domestic abuse storyline, BBC1 rival EastEnders could only manage a lifetime achievement award for Adam Woodyatt, who has played Walford stalwart Ian Beale since the series began.
Natalie Gumede, who portrayed the terrifying Kirsty Soames, won both Best Villain and Best Dramatic Performance, while on-screen partner Alan Halsall was rewarded with Best Actor. Co-star Michelle Keegan picked up Sexiest Female for the fifth year in a row, but lost out in the Best Actress category to Claire Cooper from Hollyoaks. Corrie also picked up Best Soap, a viewer-voted category that has been dominated by EastEnders for the past five years.
Hollyoaks had an impressive tally of five awards and were singled out for featuring the year’s most spectacular scene – the bus crash that caused chaos at 2012’s double wedding. However, Emmerdale’s live hour-long special to mark its 40th anniversary received the prize for Best Single Episode. The awards can be seen on ITV on Sunday at 8pm.
