It’s now time for the British Soap Awards 2023, where the best moments and performances across the nation’s most loved soaps are honoured and celebrated from the last year.
Just some of the nominations include Coronation Street's resident family the Platts for 'Best Family' and Danielle Harold (Lola Pearce-Brown) from Eastenders for 'Best Leading Performer'.
This is everything you need to know, from how to watch on TV tonight, the nominees and who the new host is.

When is the British Soap Awards on TV?
The awards ceremony will take place tonight (June 6) from 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
The show was pre-recorded in Manchester on Saturday (June 3) as the likes of Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Eastenders and Hollyoaks competed to be the best in the business.
Who is hosting the British Soap Awards on ITV1?
It was recently revealed that Wakefield’s own Jane McDonald would be presenting this year’s British Soap Awards as she replaced former host Phillip Schofield.
Schofield recently stepped down from the role of the show he had been a part of since 2006 and later resigned from all his ITV duties completely.
The news came after he admitted to having an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a former “young male colleague” on This Morning a few years ago.
