Fans are all saying the same thing as stars gather for the British Soap Awards

TV fans all said the same thing as stars gathered for the British Soap Awards tonight in Manchester.

Our favourites from Corrie, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Hollyoaks all dressed to impress for this evening's annual bash.

Despite filming today, the televised broadcast will air on Tuesday on ITV, meaning that it won't be watched live.

Viewers have taken to social media to complain.

One fumed on Twitter: "Why is #soapawards not live again? Ffs."

"Why can't we watch @SoapAwards live instead of 3 nights later #Spoilers #soapawards," a second added.

A third tweeted: "Are the #SoapAwards NOT live so they can dub over the #ThisMorning Boos???"

Jane McDonald hosted the glitzy bash after stepping in following Phillip Schofield's resignation from This Morning and ITV.

Despite having to wait three days before the bash is aired, the soap stars have shared snippets on social media.

The likes of Claire Sweeney and Charlotte Jordan led the glam in figure hugging dresses on the red carpet.

Many more dressed up to the nines for the event.

Corrie's Lisa George, 50, looked very different to her character Beth Tinker tonight.

Lisa opted for a baby pink one-shoulder maxi dress for the glitzy bash and accessorised with a pair of sparkly stilettos and a matching clutch.

EastEnders' Lorraine Stanley looked completely different to Karen Taylor in a chic black gown.

Her on-screen daughter Clair Norris looked stunning in a blue gown after a glam transformation.
