British Soap Awards nominees announced
Tuesday, 29 April 2008
The nominees for this year's British Soap Awards have been announced.
Entries come from the UK's five biggest soaps - 'Coronation Street', 'EastEnders', 'Emmerdale', 'Doctors' and 'Hollyoaks' - in 17 different categories ranging from Sexiest Star to Best Episode and Best Soap.
'This Morning' presenters Philip Schofield and Fern Britton will return to host the awards for the third time.
Philip added: "Because the soap teams work so hard and it seems that they work harder every year, this is the one night they can truly let their hair down. They party like no other people I have ever come across."
While nominations for 15 categories have been revealed, but the winners of this year's Lifetime Achievement and Special Achievement will be announced live at the awards on May 7, which will be broadcast on ITV1.
