It’s the most important night of the year in the world of soap operas – red wedding dress red wedding dress; and stars from the likes of EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale had pulled out all the stops when it came to their fashion choices as they arrived in Manchester at the British Soap Awards tonight.

The event, being held in the northern city for the first time in its 12 year history, celebrates the trials, tribulations and tantrums from the nation’s biggest TV shows over the last 12 months – though the stars will be hoping there will be no tears on the night.

And though she’s one of the most famous soap stars in the UK – but Coronation Street’s Brooke Vincent was keeping things high street.

Soap style: Brooke Vincent in lime green Lipsy, Michelle Keegan in stunning gold and Sophie Powles in raunchy black and white arrive at the British Soap Awards in Manchester tonight

The 18-year-old, who plays one half of Corrie lesbian couple with her best friend Sacha Parkinson, was in an £80 lime green Lipsy 2 that she’d helped design the beadwork for herself, teamed with a Gwen Stefani-style bindi and silver heels.

Sacha meanwhile had also plumped for on-trend neon brights and was in a stunning floorlength fuschia number. 

Meanwhile, Jennifer Metcalfe, who arrived with Hollyoaks co-star Kris Fisher was showing some serious sideboob in a backless strappy black pantsuit.

Emmerdale’s Sophie Powles was equally saucy in a white top with a black bow and tiny mini-skirt with suspenders-patterned tights.

Hollyoaks babes: Rachel Shenton in chocolate brown silk, Kim Tiddy in a backless black 3 and Stephanie Waring in a coffee coloured halterneck frock all looked stunning

Hollyoaks star Rachel Shenton meanwhile was poured into a chocolate silk floor-length 4 , which she wored with a Cheryl Cole-style quiff.

Coronation Street’s Katherine Kelly appeared to have missed the mark somewhat however by wearing the rather odd colour combination of a navy blue and yellow 1, which has some rather unflattering ruching around her midriff.

Back in black: Former Eastender Michelle Collins, Corrie’s Kym Marsh and current EastEnder Charlie Brooks all plumped for 1 

A host of stars began arriving in the city last night to give plenty of time to get ready for the bash though some including EastEnders’ Jessie Wallace arrived this afternoon.

Kat Slater’s alter ego, she turned up on the night looking stunning in a Grecian-style 2 on the arm of co-star Shane Richie, aka her onscreen husband Alfie Moon.

Fellow EastEnders star Jo Joyner turned up on the 2meanwhile in a tight black dress with her stage daughter Abi Branning, yellow bridesmaid dresses in real life 15-year-old Lorna Fitzgerald, wearing a very grown up purple 7.

On a mission: Jessie Wallace, Kym Marsh and Stephanie Davis were all seen arriving in Manchester today giving themselves plenty of time to get ready ahead of tonight’s British Soap Awards

She arrived distinctly dressed down in shorts and a T-shirt before getting glammed up for her trip down the red carpet – though her fake tan was already in full effect.

Last night some of the girls from the Hollyoaks cast started their preparations early, with Alice Barlow, Beth Kingston and PJ Brennan going to the Nicola Harris spa in Liverpool for some last minute beauty treatments.

EastEnders’ Shane Ritchie meanwhile was gingerly carrying his Hugo Boss in a carrycase this afternoon as he arrive in Manchester to make sure it didn’t get creased.

Corrie beauty Kym Marsh was seen checking into her hotel freshfaced and in tracksuit bottoms for her first big night out since the birth of daughter Polly in March.

Meanwhile, former Over The Rainbow star Stephanie Davis was seen arriving at her accommodation with her hair already in rollers.

And the Sugababes also rocked up on the train ahead of tonight’s bash – presumably to add some popstar glamour alongside the stars of the small screen.

EastEnders has won the Best Soap award for the past three years at the awards.

However, its northern rival Corrie will be hoping to land the top gong this year with the awards being held in its home city for the first time.

Emmerdale meanwhile will certainly be hoping to improve on its performance last year – it didn’t win a single category.
