Wardrobe Malfunction At British Soap Awards!!

The starlets of British soap operas turned out for their big night yesterday, showing plenty of flesh in their annual parade of short, sequinned dresses. And, of course, there was inevitably the actress who exposed just a little too much.Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallet nearly suffered a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet for the British Soap Awards when one of the straps on her halterneck dress came loose.Luckily, her co-star Verity Rushworth was on hand to spare the actress, who plays Jo Stiles, from too much embarrassment.

But despite the disappointing tally, BBC 1's flagship programme did claim the most prestigious prize of the night, for best soap.And it performed considerably better than last year, when it collected just one award.Jo Joyner, who plays Tanya Branning, won best dramatic performance and Jamie Borthwick, who plays Jay Brown, took the award for best dramatic performance from a young actor.The show also won best storyline, for Max and Stacey's affair.


Coronation Street's award haul included best newcomer for Michelle Keegan, who plays Tina McIntrye, and best comedy performance for Maggie Jones as Blanche Hunt.Rob James Collier, who plays Liam Connor, was named sexiest male, and Jack P. Shepherd, who plays David Platt, was best villain.There was also a lifetime achievement Award for Liz Dawn, whose character Vera Duckworth was killed off in January after 34 years on the Street.
