British Soap Awards 2010

[tammyy2j]

EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt has admitted that he is confused over the decision to put him in the running for the 'Best Actor' prize at the British Soap Awards.

Yesterday, it was announced that the 41-year-old - who plays Walford's Ian Beale - had been nominated for this year's prize alongside his colleagues Nitin Ganatra (Masood Ahmed) and Scott Maslen (Jack Branning).

However, writing on Twitter, the actor insisted that either Jake Wood (Max Branning) or Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell) should have been chosen instead of him.

Woodyatt told his online fans: "Can't understand why I've been nominated for BSAs, think Steve and Jake should have been ahead of me."

In total, there are 15 actors who are up for the public vote - comprising of three each from EastEnders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Doctors.

The British Soap Awards will be held in London in May.

Bad news soap fans - it looks like you'll have to wait a week longer than usual to watch this year's British Soap Awards.

ITV has allegedly taken the decision to shunt the BSAs back a week in order to avoid a clash with the Europa League final.

Soapland's largest annual awards event - which is due to be filmed on Saturday, May 8 - was originally slated to air the following Wednesday (May 12), in line with previous years.

However, due to the potential of an all-English fixture (Liverpool v Fulham) on Five that night, ITV has apparently pushed the awards into the following week.

Final scheduling has yet to be confirmed but network sources suggest that Wednesday, May 19 is the most likely date.

I couldn't agree more Ian hasn't done squat neither has Jack... Max and Masood either of the two should win....

Totally agree! Masood, in my opinion, should win hands down, with Max a very close second.

I see that Midsummer Murders is in the tv listings on 12th May at 8pm, so it looks like it has been pushed back a week, unless ITV suddenly change their minds.

Michelle Keegan has revealed that she is hoping for a double triumph at this year's British Soap Awards.

The 22-year-old actress, who plays Tina McIntyre in the serial, has been nominated for 'Best Actress' and 'Sexiest Female' - the latter of which she won last year.

She told OK magazine: "As a new actress to come to Coronation Street and to be up for 'Best Actress' two years down the line is a massive thing for me. It feels like I have been accepted in a way."

It's been confirmed by Digital Spy's soap editor that the rest of the nominations will be announced this Tuesday (4th).

Glad to see Emmerdale receive the most nominations, hopefully they'll win a few. Particularly hope that Danny Miller picks up a least one award.

I hope Lacey Turner receives most dramatic performance and Marc Elliot best newcomer. Also, best partnership Becky and Steve.
