The batch of Semi Finalists battled it out yesterday, with the results leaving EastEnders' Ben Mitchell as the only British soap star making it to Monday's Grand Final.

He'll be facing off against Neighbours fan favourite Susan Kennedy for the coveted Soap Champion crown, after his own tense first Semi-Final round with Neighbours legacy character Mike Young.

Susan Kennedy goes into the final after her own Aussie head-to-head with Toadie Rebecchi in the week's second Semi.

Earlier in the week, Mackenzie Hargreaves won the Wildcard vote but that wasn't enough to see her through to the Semi-Finals, as Susan knocked her out of the running with 60 per cent of fan votes.

With big names still standing from both EastEnders and Neighbours – and character knockouts from Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Hollyoaks and Home and Away earlier in the week – the title of Soap Champion 2023 is getting ever closer.

For the Final – as with previous voting throughout the week – you'll have unlimited votes once the polls open on Monday 27th February so prepare to get behind your favourite and spread the word to your fellow fans!

It's all part of the fun as fans have to band together and keep the voting momentum going in order to edge their favourites over the line and into the next round of the competition.

It's a virtual tug-of-war where only the most dedicated fandom will prevail.

And here's how it works:

Monday 27th March will be a big day for the last two characters standing as they go toe-to-toe in the Grand Final – hoping you'll carry them through to be crowned the winner on Tuesday 28th.

The voting process is slightly different for the Final and will kick-start at 10:30am Monday 27th and close 10:30am Tuesday 28th, meaning you have a full 24 hours to have your say.

So round up your fellow fans and get ready to vote, vote, vote!
