However, The Sun can exclusively reveal a number of moments which were pulled from ITV's final broadcast - including a series of faux pas' from former soap stars as well as heavily edited speeches from Jaime Winstone and Patsy Palmer. One moment that failed to make it to air involved former soap star Jan Pearson, who played Karen Hollins in now axed BBC soap Doctors. She made a triumphant comeback to the Soap Awards stage following the programme's cancellation in order to present the gong for Best On-Screen Partnership. Jan was stood alongside co-star Chris Walker to hand out the gong to EastEnders duo Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter. However, she was forced to read out the nominations a total of THREE times. And whilst one audience mole suggested on X the re-records took place as a result of the loud cheers for Corrie pair Vicky Myers and Alison King, The Sun can reveal an entirely different reason was behind the triple taping. Actress Jan suffered an on-stage coughing fit which saw her struggle to read out the names of the nominees. She gave it three goes but was affected by her tickly throat each time. The second and third attempts were both filmed after the gong was handed out with the audience already aware of exactly who had won. British Soap Awards viewers accuse ITV of 'cutting out' chants for EastEnders actress Elsewhere, whilst hostess Jane was on top form for most of the evening, there were a handful of occasions where she was forced to do a series of re-takes despite the ceremony supposedly filming as live. One audience member told The Sun: 'The warm-up guy made it clear from the start that they were recording the ceremony as live and so everyone had to be on their best behaviour. 'It also put a lot of pressure on Jane as she was expected to rattle through her hosting duties without a hitch but with so many links to record, she was bound to mess up on a few of them.' Just moments after the show kicked off, Jane was forced to re-record one of her links about hunky Coronation Street star Jacob Roberts. The actor, who plays lothario copper PC Kit Green, caught Jane's eye and she was quick to make a joke about his good looks. However, she tripped up over her own words and was left rad-faced as she admitted she had become too flustered thinking about Jacob. The audience erupted into laughter as Jane attempted to brush off her hilarious mishap and instead re-told her joke just seconds into the event. The moment left Jacob looking down at the ground after unexpectedly becoming the centre of attention. Someone else who suffered an embarrassing blunder was awards presenter Denise Welch. She was also forced into re-filming her entire segment after a blunder with her very own CHEE award. As part of a skit, Denise was handed a joke prize by Shirlie Kemp to mark her achievement of having played roles in all four major soaps. The trophy was made out of items connected to each of the four soaps but Denise held her prize back to front meaning the audience and cameras could not see what she was referring too. Just before handing out the award for Best Newcomer, Denise was halted by bosses and instructed to re-do the entire segment again and have the trophy facing the crowd. One onlooker told The Sun: 'Denise was referring to the trophy being connected to all four soaps but no one could see anything. 'It led to a lot of blank and unimpressed expressions on the soap stars faces when the cameras cut to a close-up hoping to get a hilarious reaction from them. 'It fell a bit flat but Denise was able to pick the mood back up when she was told of her error.' During the ITV broadcast, clever camera trickery saw the award facing the correct way as Denise gave her speech.

The star did not mince her words as she spoke about the honour of being part of the special episodes set in 1985 but less than half of it made it into the final edit. Patsy Palmer's X-rated speech about her vagina also saw some editing after she made a slew of vulgar jokes after accepting the award for Best Comedy Performance.

David Jason makes unlikely cameo at Soap Awards as fans all say the same thing
Sir David Jason appeared at the British Soap Awards tonight where he presented the Best British Soap award this evening to EastEnders, which won big on the night Sir David Jason had fans all saying the same thing - as he appeared at the British Soap Awards tonight. The legendary actor was on hand to present the Best British Soap award this evening. The soap awards actually took place on Saturday but they were broadcasted on ITV this evening - and after a delay due to a technical error, the awards got underway. David handed over the Best Soap award to EastEnders, who were the big winners tonight. As David arrived on stage to present the award, the soap stars were seen in awe - and it was clear viewers felt the same. One fan wrote: "The legendary Sir David Jason walking out to screams of excitement and admiration was incredible, the atmosphere was truly electric. Couldn't have wished for a better person to announce the winner," whilst a second added: "Great to see Sir David Jason on the #BritishSoapAwards tonight. What an absolute legend!!" "Huge congratulations to EastEnders and how well does Sir David Jason look !! What a legend #britishsoapawards," a third said, with a fourth adding: "I teared up seeing David Jason." A fifth wrote: "N'awww a standing ovation for Sir David Jason." David previously opened up about how he had to part ways with his helicopter with "extreme reluctance" as he struggled with his physical health. He said: "You need your hips, legs and knees to be in pretty tip-top condition for helicopter flying. "Also your arms and shoulders. It's rather like playing a drum kit in that regard, although the consequences of getting out of time during the second verse are quite a bit graver." He added: "I realised I was getting increasingly uncomfortable up there in the air. Having to push the physical part of the task was taking some of the joy out of it. Clearly it was time to step away while I was still capable of stepping." David also explained how that was such a big part of his life - and it had been his "most satisfying accomplishment". "Flying that helicopter was a big part of my life. It was a lot of fun, obviously, but also just the most satisfying accomplishment. Some people have the piano, and some people have oil painting. I had the helicopter and it's over now, but I'll always be proud that I can call myself a qualified helicopter pilot," he explained of his love of flying a helicopter. Back in 2023, David also opened up about his health as he admitted his concerns over his memory and his physical health. "My memory isn't what it used to be ... Most of us reach this point when things aren't quite as bright as they used to be," he said as he discussed his hip replacement and his general health, "Mind you, I don't wear a hearing aid, I don't wear glasses, and I've only had to replace one bit of my body, so I'm not doing too bad."
