BRITISH SOAP AWARDS 2025: WINNERS REVEALED IN FULL

The most glamorous night on TV is back for 2025 with the return of The British Soap Awards. The biggest celebration of our nation’s most loved soap operas will be back exclusively on ITV1 and ITVX this summer.

After a hugely successful stint hosting the Awards for the first time in 2023, the legendary Jane McDonald will be returning as host to add extra sparkle to the most glittering event of the year.

The last Awards ceremony in June 2023 reached 5.7 million viewers in total, with just under one million streams on ITVX and a peak of 3.2 million viewers via its linear overnight broadcast. The Awards will take place in London and will honour the country’s four biggest soaps - Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.

Each soap will battle it out for one of the many highly sought-after awards, so expect some of the biggest faces from all four soaps to be hitting the red carpet for the most star-studded and exciting event in the soap calendar.
