Hosted by Phillip Schofield, with awards being presented by some of the entertainment worlds most famous faces, there’s everything to play for in the soap world’s ‘Oscars’.

The British Soap Awards honour outstanding achievement in the country’s most popular television genre. There are 17 awards and categories are voted for either by a panel of expert judges or by the public and include Sexiest Male and Female, Best Actor and Actress, Best Comedy Performance, Villain of the Year, Spectacular Scene of the Year, Best On-Screen Partnership and the ultimate accolade, Best British Soap which was last year won by EastEnders.

After the awards they will be at the Soap Awards party, celebrating with the winners, commiserating with those that missed out on glory, and getting all the behind the scenes gossip from the stars of our favourite shows.

Channel 4 teen soap Hollyoaks has secured the most nominations on this year's British Soap Awards shortlist.

Released today, the list sees each of the five qualifying soaps - Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks - receive the default three nods in five of the six viewer-voted categories: Sexiest Male, Sexiest Female, Villain of the Year, Best Actor and Best Actress. Also, each show is automatically nominated for Best Soap.

Winners of the remaining 11 awards - including Best Comedy Performance, Best Newcomer, Best Single Episode and Best Storyline - have been decided by a panel.

Of the 36 shortlist panel nominations, Hollyoaks featured in each of the nine categories, while EastEnders received eight nods.

Coronation Street took seven, while Emmerdale and Doctors were given six each.

Notably, Corrie failed to receive a nomination in the Best Dramatic Performance category, while Emmerdale didn't make the top four in the Best Storyline and Best Single Episode stakes.

Nominations for the Lifetime Achievement and Special Achievement awards are also considered by the panel.

The eleventh annual British Soap Awards take place at BBC's Television Centre in central London on Saturday. The ceremony will transmit on Wednesday, May 13 on ITV1.
