British Soap Awards 2025 afterparty evacuated due to security alert
Stars from the four major UK soaps hit the red carpet on Saturday night for the return of the British Soap Awards – though the celebrations were interrupted early after a security threat at the afterparty. Following the main event at the Hackney Empire in London, which saw EastEnders come out on top with the most awards, actors and crew members headed next door to Hackney Town Hall to party the rest of the night away. However, the celebrations were interrupted in the early hours of the morning when a call was received that was deemed a security threat, Metro understands. An ITV spokesperson said: 'Owing to a security alert after the recording of the awards, it was necessary to evacuate the afterparty venue. Everyone was cleared from the building safely.' This came hours after the recording of the awards ceremony, which saw EastEnders take home the coveted prize for Best Soap. They also took home the awards for Best Single Episode, Scene of the Year, Villain of the Year, Best Dramatic Performance, Best Leading Performer, Best On-Screen Partnership and Best Comedy Performance. It was also a great night for Hollyoaks, who took received the awards for Best Family and Best Storyline, with Frankie Osborne actress Isabelle Smith winning Best Newcomer. More Trending Emmerdale's Amelia Flanagan won Best Young Performer for her work as April Windsor, while Cameraman Mike Plant was honoured with the Tony Warren Award. And in a very special moment, soap icon David Neilson was presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award for his work as Roy Cropper on Coronation Street. The event was once again hosted by Jane McDonald, and is set to air on ITV1 at 8pm on Thursday, June 5.

Tina O'Brien and Jorgie Porter suffer awkward blunder on British Soap Awards red carpet
Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien and Hollyoaks Jorgie Porter have suffered an awkward outfit clash at the annual soap awards event. 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."
