Coronation Street star gloats as ITVX goes down and slams soap awards as show fails to win

CORONATION Street star Luca Toolan mocked his soap rivals during the The British Soap Awards 2025. The 21-year-old actor played Mason Radcliffe for two years on the ITV drama and attended soap's big night on Thursday with his fellow Corrie stars. 4 4 Like many people trying to tune in to the big night, Luca noticed the transmission on ITVX was not working and used the opportunity to poke fun at Corrie's competitors. The programme was delayed by seven minutes with just a message from the broadcaster, that read "we're sorry for the disruption," on top of a black screen. Luca took a photo of a screen showing the error message and posted it to his Instagram stories. "Oh no what a shame, now nobody can see me and all of Corrie win all of the awards!" he wrote. But Luca was later forced to eat his words, as Corrie went home empty-handed. He was even spotted by eagle-eyed ITV viewers looking disappointed after Corrie lost an award. Luca looked upset when BBC rival EastEnders scooped the award for Best Single Episode. The actor's chances of picking up an award were dashed when it was announced that EastEnders' special flashback episode about Phil Mitchell's Psychosis had won. Those watching at home claimed Luca looked "furious" with the result. One wrote: "The Mason actor didn't look too happy there." "Oh no! Luca Toolan looked gutted," a second said. Luca's character Mason was tragically killed off during the nominated episode. Shocking scenes saw Mason attacked by his brothers and flee - but the thugs chased him down. And when Dylan tried to intervene - bringing Mason's knife - it was taken from him and used to stab Mason. He stumbled into the playground and hallucinated a future where he reunited with Betsy and planned for his new life in Germany. Rushed to hospital with a weeping Betsy and Abi with him, the doctors battled to save his life. But sadly there was nothing they could do and Mason died in the hospital leaving Betsy devastated. BBC rival EastEnders swept the board after collecting a total of eight gongs in its 40th anniversary year - more than double its nearest rival, Channel 4's Hollyoaks who got three awards. 4 4

Moment 'gutted' Coronation Street star is caught grimacing in audience of British Soap Awards after being 'robbed' of win in 'diabolical' verdict

Coronation Street fans were shocked after spotting a star's 'fuming' face as he lost out to a rival at the British Soap Awards. The annual ceremony took place on Saturday night at the Hackney Empire in London, but was broadcast last night, with a slew of the country's favourite soap stars in attendance and Jane McDonald playing host. But amid the celebratory atmosphere, ITV viewers spotted a particularly disappointed nominee who was denied the chance to take home one of the coveted gongs. Corrie actor Luca Toolan, who plays reformed bully Mason Radcliffe, looked very disappointed after rival BBC 's EastEnders nabbed the Best Single Episode award. The soap star, 21, was up for the prize for his death episode in January, which saw him stabbed to death by his brothers for helping the police gather evidence against them for a murder they committed. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Corrie actor Luca Toolan lost out to EastEnders' flashback episode, which saw Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) sink deeper into depression, hallucinating scenes from his adolescence at his family home in 1985 But he lost out to EastEnders' flashback episode, which saw Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) sink deeper into depression, hallucinating scenes from his adolescence at his family home in 1985. Viewers at home said Luca, whose nominated scene ended his 18-month stint on the cobbles, looked 'furious' at the result. One wrote on social media: 'The Mason actor didn't look too happy there.' Another said: 'Oh no! Luca Toolan looked gutted.' Others agreed with his disappointment, saying Coronation Street was robbed in the category: 'Sorry but that award should have gone to Luca for the knife crime story for Mason.'; 'How has Corrie's storyline with Mason not won anything tonight? They went into detail with that and raised awareness for knife crime.'; 'Excuse my language but how the f*** did Mason's death not win anything? Diabolical results.'; 'Corrie robbed. Should've won for that Mason storyline.' Others agreed with his disappointment, saying Coronation Street was robbed in the category After serving jail time for possession of a knife, Mason returned to Weatherfield determined to turn over a new leaf. But he soon found himself drawn back into trouble again as his brothers Matty and Logan (Seamus McGoff and Harry Lowbridge) came to hunt him down. When Mason's friend Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) rushed to his defence, bringing a knife, the blade was seized from him and tragically used to stab Mason. He was found by fellow Weatherfield resident Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine), who screamed for help and tried to apply pressure to his bleeding wounds. Mason said to her: 'I'm going to die, aren't I? I'm going to die.' Abi replied: 'You're not going to die. Mason, listen to me, an ambulance is on the way and you're not going to die.' But with the paramedics distracted by a hoax call, his condition got much worse as he waited for them to arrive. He was rushed to hospital accompanied by Abi and his friend Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin), where medics fought to save him. But there was nothing to be done and the young lad soon died, leaving Abi and Betsy devastated and traumatised. While Corrie won only one award at the Soap Awards - Outstanding Achievement for the long-serving David Neilson as Roy Cropper - EastEnders received eight gongs in its 40th anniversary year. This is more than double the soap which won the next most awards at this year's ceremony - Hollyoaks, which took home three prizes. But the night got off to a terrible start when it aired on Thursday, with the show being delayed for seven whole minutes due to technical difficulties. Fans were greeted with a black screen from ITV with the message: 'We're sorry for the disruption'. The channel was down for a long seven minutes, meaning the show didn't air until well past 8pm, when it was due to start. And viewers were less than impressed, taking to social media to fume over the delay and insist that the ceremony should've been aired without a hitch as it was pre-recorded five days ago. They raged: 'Sorry for the disruption?? The British Soap Awards isn't even live!'; 'not the soap awards failing to start'; 'And it's not even live!' 'Eh, soap awards? We've already waited 5 days for this! Get your act together.'; 'It's finally started! 7 mins late'; Oh fun just when the #britishsoapawards were about to start. #itv'. '@ITV the British soap awards aren't even live, why tf is there a disruption?'; 'not the technical issue right as the soap awards start'. 'Soap awards are off to a cracking start with the sorry for the disruption screen'; 'SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE. BRITISH SOAP AWARDS ISNT WORKING'. 'Not us all having to wait 5 days for it, all the results leaked, and now THIS. Pull the over one @ITV'; 'Get on with it, it's not even live…' While others accused ITV of deliberately sabotaging the show after their own soaps, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, only won three gongs in total on the night, with their rivals sweeping the board. BBC's EastEnders cleaned up with a whopping eight wins while Channel 4's Hollyoaks scored three, to Emmerdale 's two and Corrie's singular prize. Fans took to X to quip: 'ITV really don't want us to see #EastEnders winning all those awards, do they'; ' itv really p***ed cos bbc won it all'. 'Omg British Soap Awards have frozen, is there anything ITV won't do to try and ruin #EastEnders beating their abysmal soaps?!?!' 'ITV don't want to air #BritishSoapAwards because they know how s**t Corrie did'; 'Not #EastEnders fans sabotaging the Soap Awards. THE POWER WE HAVE!' 'ITV doing anything to avoid airing the British Soap Awards'; 'ITV after reluctantly pressing the 'air' button on the #BritishSoapAwards'. 'is this a clever tactic from #ITV to try and avoid showing #EastEnders wiping the floor with all the itv soaps?' 'British soap awards not on, are ITV going to be sorry for the disruption for the next 2 hours just because EastEnders won almost everything.' 'Oooh itv getting salty about EastEnders winning the awards'; 'LOL THE SOAP AWARDS FAILING TO START! BBC has finally got it own back.' The residents of Albert Square kicked off their wins with Best Episode which went to Phil's Psychosis: The Mitchells In 1985. While Steve McFadden, who plays fan favourite Phil Mitchell, also won the Best Dramatic Performance award. Among the biggest moments of the night was Anita Watts scooping an award for her reprisal of the iconic Angie Watts for the first time in 37 years. The actress returned as the Queen Vic's first landlady for EastEnders' special anniversary episode in February, in a heartbreaking cameo with daughter Sharon - played by Letitia Dean. Her shock return left viewers stunned and in tears, with fans branding it the 'TV moment of the year', so her win came as no surprise. EastEnders also won for Best Comedic Performance, going to Patsy Palmer for her role as Bianca Jackson, while Navin Chowdhry scooped the Best Villain gong for playing Nish Panesar. Rudolph Walker & Angela Wynter (Patrick & Yolande Trueman) delivered another win for EastEnders as they won Best On-Screen Partnership. Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey Slater, won the Best Leading Performer Award and EastEnders also won the most coveted award of all: Best British Soap. Another standout moment of the ceremony was Sir David Jason taking to the stage to present the coveted Best Soap award. The Only Fools and Horses star, 85, cut a dapper figure in a classic black suit and bow tie as he announced EastEnders as the winner of the night's biggest prize. Hollyoaks' three awards started with Isabelle Smith who won Best Newcomer for her role as Frankie Osborne. Among the biggest moments of the night was Anita Watts scooping an award for her reprisal of the iconic Angie Watts for the first time in 37 years EastEnders also won for Best Comedic Performance, going to Patsy Palmer for her role as Bianca Jackson The Osbornes then won the Best Family award while Hollyoaks' sibling sexual abuse storyline received the Best Storyline award. Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Amelia Flanagan was overcome with emotion as she was announced as the winner of Best Young Performer for playing April Windsor. The 16-year-old - who previously won the prize for Best Young Performance for the role in 2015 - couldn't hid her shock as she took to the stage to accept the trophy. The actress beat out Corrie's Will Flanagan, EastEnders star Sonny Kendall and Hollyoaks' Noah Holdsworth for the win. While camera operator Mike Plant took home the Tony Warren Award which is given to employees working behind the scenes. Coronation Street's sole gong of the night was the Outstanding Achievement Award which went to David Neilson who has played Roy Cropper for 30 years. The technical troubles plaguing the awards this year come after last year's show was suddenly cancelled with no explanation, when the nominees had already been announced. The June 2023 edition reached 5.7 million viewers in total with just under one million streams on ITVX and a peak of 3.2m viewers via its linear overnight broadcast. The Osbornes then won the Best Family award while Hollyoaks' sibling sexual abuse storyline received the Best Storyline award (seen) Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Amelia Flanagan was overcome with emotion as she was announced as the winner of Best Young Performer for playing April Windsor Coronation Street's sole gong of the night was the Outstanding Achievement Award which went to David Neilson who has played Roy Cropper for 30 years Singer and self-confessed soaps lover Jane, 61, stepped in as a last-minute replacement for Phillip Schofield two years ago after he quit ITV after admitting to an affair with a young male This Morning colleague. Host Jane said: 'I'm beyond excited to be hosting The British Soap Awards again as I had such a ball hosting the awards last time. 'You all know I love my soaps, so to be in a room giving recognition to all these wonderful actors and their fantastic hard work is simply joyous. I can't wait to get my glittery frock on and celebrate with everyone.' Meanwhile, Gemma John-Lewis, Entertainment Commissioner ITV said: 'The British Soaps Awards are an opportunity to celebrate and shine a light on the incredible actors and production teams that deliver gripping drama and captivating stories throughout the year. 'We're delighted Jane McDonald, a self proclaimed number one soap fan, is returning to host the awards.'
