More than 90,000 soap fans voted ahead of the star-studded ceremony in London.

Danielle Harold won Best Actress for her portrayal of Lola Pearce, who tragically died of cancer in heartbreaking scenes earlier this year.

Her on-screen husband Jamie Borthwick landed Best Actor for his role as Jay Brown.
