Tina O'Brien and Jorgie Porter suffer awkward blunder on British Soap Awards red carpet
Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien and Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter suffered an uncomfortable blunder at the British Soap Awards. The actresses joined their co-stars on the red carpet for the annual event, which is taking place tonight.
The world of soap's most famous faces have come together to honour the stars who've found themselves at the centre of some of the biggest storylines of the past year. The 2025 categories include Best on-screen Partnership, Best Newcomer, Best Storyline, Best Young Performer, Scene of the Year, Outstanding Achievement Award and the Tony Warren Award.
However, Tina and Jorgie suffered an extremely awkward moment when they both rocked up on the red carpet wearing the exact same gown. Jorgie, 37, looked gorgeous as she stepped out in a sheer gold dress. The actress posed for snaps in the gown, which showed off her toned physique and left very little to imagination.
She completed her look with minimal jewellery, including a silver diamonté bracelet and a silver watch, the Mirror reports.
Her signature blonde hair was slicked back in a tight bun style, completing her classy look.
Meanwhile, 41-year-old Tina, who is best known for playing Sarah Platt in Coronation Street, looked equally as beautiful at the star-studded event where she was snapped alongside her daughter, Scarlett Thomas.
Similarly to Jorgie, Tina kept her accessories to a minimum, wearing only a small pair of earrings.
However, she did go for a very different hairstyle, with her long blonde locks styled into voluminous waves which cascaded freely down her shoulders and rested on her chest.
The two soap stars appeared on the red carpet just ten minutes apart, which thankfully prevented an awkward run in had they arrived at the same time in the same outfit.
Coronation Street and Hollyoaks are set to go head-to-head in the Best British Soap category, while Tina's on-screen family, The Platts, are nominated for Best Family.
They will be competing against the likes of EastEnders' The Slaters, The Dingles from Emmerdale and The Osbornes from Hollyoaks.
Taking to social media to comment on the awkward situation, one fan remarked: "Not Tina O'Brien and Jorgie Porter wearing the same dress."
However, while fans eagerly wait in anticipation to find out who will be crowned the winners, many have been left disappointed that the event isn't airing live on TV.
The awards ceremony is airing on Thursday night instead to make way for the Britain's Got Talent finale on ITV tonight on Saturday May 31.
Taking to X to complain about the delay in broadcast, one fan fumed: "It's ridiculous that the British Soap Awards isn't live… there's more hype for the soap stars arriving outside for something not even airing on tv for another week than there is the Britain's Got Talent final… sort it out for next year please @itv."
A second echoed: "Soap Awards getting spoiled because ITV thinks people would rather watch BGT instead."
A third angry fan chimed in: "The soap awards not being aired live is such a let down, who at ITV thought that was a good idea? There isn't any point watching it now... #BritishSoapAwards."

Sir Nick Faldo is sport's most improved broadcaster
Given that the man has won six majors, it might not be the most coveted trophy he'll ever squeeze on to what must be one of sport's most groaning mantelpieces, but if they are giving out awards for the most improved sports broadcaster, Sir Nick Faldo would be in with a strong shout of scooping the prize. The golf legend himself, and those who have been working with him, deserve a lot of credit: where he was once wooden and grumpy, he has now become a co-commentator of good humour, insight and feeling. His work for Sky Sports at the Open in this renewal was excellent. It is hard to think of a better match-up of ex-player analyst and current player situation than Sir Nick on the relentless front-runner Scottie Scheffler, and he delivered not just on the golfing challenges of such a win but the mental requirements as well. In the taxonomy of British sporting greats turned broadcasters, I would put Sir Nick in the same category as Stephen Hendry: perceived during his imperial phase as a remorseless, aloof grinder, revealed in his later years to be surprisingly jolly company on the telly and probably not such a bad bloke all things considered. Perhaps it is not surprising that a personality type that would toil fanatically at one endeavour could focus that work ethic upon mastering another discipline, although that being said, it is not hard to think of some ex-players who remain as lumpen on the mic after 10 years as they did on day one. For instance – and while it is hardly the crime of the century – Sir Nick used to have an irritating habit of saying 'smidgen' all the time. Someone has clearly put in a smidgen of work advising him to tone that down a smidgen and the result is more than a smidgen of an improvement. You see? It grates. And now he's stopped it. So fair play. I am confident in speculating that someone of Sir Nick's clout and single-mindedness would not have noticed this sort of tic on his own nor made efforts to correct it unbidden, therefore I can conclude that he has been open-minded enough to accept notes on his broadcast work from a trusted adviser. There was even a genuinely funny bit about having to go on a diet before the Ryder Cup because he had caused injury to a chair. Credit must go to the golf bods at Sky, who have created an environment in which Sir Nick can succeed and overall put on a top-notch package for these majors. Peter Alliss had been synonymous with and indivisible from TV golf for so long – perhaps too long – that Sky were obliged to go for a different sort of approach whether they liked it or not, and this has become more distinctive year on year for a while now. Sky's coverage might lack the raconteurish, moving-smoothly-through-the-second-bottle charm of an Alliss or a Test Match Special but that has in fact worked in its favour because it has allowed Sky to play to its strengths with innovation and technical insight to tap into the fact that a lot of people watching actually play the game and want to get better at it. Flights of lyrical fancy might be thinner on the ground than the BBC coverage of yore but that's not necessarily a problem if you like the technocratic, graphical wizardry approach that Sky has made its own. In fact, the only colourful language to be heard this week came when the microphones kept picking up various potty-mouthed outbursts from players who had hit bad shots, Rory McIlroy at least twice, with the commentators having to apologise each time. Anyone who has ever attempted to hit a one-and-three-quarter inch ball into a teacup 400 yards away with a small bit of metal on a stick would surely forgive the occasional swear word. Around these parts at least, there was no blue outburst when they welcomed Sir Nick to the microphone each time and, given that he was once at best a 24-handicapper on the telly, this represents progress indeed.

What to expect as Royal Welsh Show 2025 gets under way
The showground is ready and waiting, the main ring attractions are all scheduled, and the livestock are being spruced up in anticipation of awards – Show week is here. It is now 121 years since a group of influential landowners came together to form the Welsh National Agricultural Society – an organisation that would later morph into the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society. They held the first show that year in Aberystwyth, but since 1963 Llanelwedd, on the edge of Builth Wells, has been the thumping heartbeat of Europe's largest agricultural event. They come from far and wide to exhibit – and to enjoy the many and varied displays, events, and attractions that the show brings. Whether it's daredevil displays from horseback riders, motorbike experts or parachute teams, or the creme de la creme of Welsh livestock, the reasons to love the Royal Welsh Show are plentiful. Powys truly is the place to be when the show comes around – across four days from Monday to Friday, July 21-24, tens of thousands of people will be making their way to the showground to experience the event. As usual, there is a jam-packed schedule of livestock classes and special awards for a wide range of agricultural and rural competitions, attracting entries from far and wide. For the first time this year the show will include a Heavy Horse Village, which provides visitors with a chance to celebrate the majestic power and heritage of traditional working horses in a dedicated display area. The whole event is also a great celebration of Wales' thriving food scene, and the food village and hall provides a highlight for many visitors to the show. One of the key questions on many people's minds this weekend, though, will be what's happening above our heads. We've had some patchy shows weather-wise over the years – who would want to predict a British summer? – including an absolute scorcher of a year in 2022 that saw some visitors having to slap the factor 50 onto their pigs. Well, despite this year having already seen some records tumble for hot and dry weather across the UK, the show is looking like it's much cooler this year. The Met Office is forecasting a nice, cool event, with scattered showers meaning outdoor activities being compromised.
