Hollyoaks scoops six soap awards

Hollyoaks has scooped six trophies at the British Soap Awards, more than Coronation Street or EastEnders.

Chris Fountain and Emma Rigby won best actor and actress for the Channel 4 programme, with other wins including best on-screen partnership.

But EastEnders won four prizes, including best soap, with Coronation Street taking a total of five awards.

Liz Dawn, who played Vera Duckworth until her exit earlier this year, was given the lifetime achievement award."
