The moment Pat Phelan finally dies on Coronation Street

Out of the other soaps, Jen Metcalfe was the only winner for Hollyoaks and picked up the Soap Superstar award.

It comes just months after she returned from maternity leave and was the silver lining on a very exciting year for the new mum.

She told The Sun Online: “I just think it’s great I’ve won Sexiest Female at the Inside Soap Awards in the past, but being named a Soap Superstar is really cool!

“I think everybody working on a soap is a superstar – they’re so hard-working, and it takes a different level of energy to do it. But for people to choose me, I’m really happy.”
