EastEnders' Lacey Turner got a nice leaving present in the form of the Best Actress Award, after she announced last week that she was quitting the show. The actress also scooped Best Dramatic Performance for her role of Stacey Branning.

'It was a great night for Eastenders overall- proving it is as popular as ever in its 25th year!'

It was a great night for EastEnders overall, as the much-loved BBC programme won ten awards - proving it is as popular as ever in its 25th year!

EastEnders hunk Scott Maslen, who plays Jack Branning, was awarded the Best Actor and Sexiest Male accolades. The hit show also won Best Storyline for the 'who-dunnit' Archie Mitchell murder that gripped the nation - and Larry Lamb, who played him, was crowned Villain Of The Year.

Gorgeous Michelle Keegan won the much-coveted title of Sexiest Female for her role of Tina McIntyre. And the 22-year-old made sure she showed us exactly why she deserved the title, as she showed off her curves in a sexy fitted mini-dress.

Which brings us to the topic of outfits... Known as 'The Oscars' of the small screen, the Soap Awards are a quite glamorous affair, which in soap-world means plenty of fake tan and flesh-flashing!

This year, however, we were surprised how many of the girls actually looked very nice indeed... But, of course, there's always one (or two) who can't resist taking a gamble (which doesn't always pay off).

Step forward Hollyoaks' Bronagh Waugh, who poured herself into a sheer black dress that didn't really allow for underwear... luckily she had a pile of sequins glued to the frock to cover her modesty - but not her style credentials!

The award for worst frock of the night goes to Kelly-Marie Stewart. The blonde bombshell chose a demure black number with a long mermaid-style skirt, and a sheer top that was covered with a big heart-shaped ruffled bodice.

If Jordan designed ball gowns, we imagine that this would potentially feature in the range.
