Celebrating its 10-tear anniversary, the British Soap Awards 2008 is set to be the glitziest and most glamorous ceremony yet.

It’s been another year of high drama with sensational storylines from the nation’s most watched TV shows.

They keep us all hooked throughout the year. This is their chance to be put centre stage and be rewarded for the entertainment that they bring. All your favourite soap stars will don their finest for one of the most glamorous and popular nights of the awards calendar in a true celebration of the soaps.

Last year, Kym Ryder was awarded Best Newcomer and Coronation Street was crowned Best British Soap.

Who will triumph this year?

There’s everything to play for as 17 prestigious awards are unveiled, including Sexiest Male and Female, Best Actor and Actress, and the ultimate accolade, Best British Soap.

After the glittering ceremony, ITV2 goes backstage at the The British Soap Awards: The Party (working title) to celebrate with the winners, commiserate with those that missed out on glory, and to get all the behind-the-scenes gossip from the stars of our favourite shows.
