Soap Awards picture special

09/05/2009

EASTENDERS beauty Kara Tointon looks like she is up for BUST DRESSED at last night's British Soap Awards.

The curvy 25-year-old lived up to her character's name Dawn Swann when she glided down the red carpet in the feathery Marciano for Guess gown.

It was a stunning Swann-song for the actress, set to leave the BBC1 soap in the next few weeks.

But ALL the EastEnders cast left on a high after scooping the Best Soap award and six other gongs- the most of any show.

Coronation Street got six in total Doctors got three and Emmerdale one at the ceremony in BBC Television Centre, West London. Hollyoaks came away with nothing.

Kara was pipped to the post for Sexiest Actress by Corrie's Michelle Keegan. But EastEnders' Scott Maslen (Jack Branning) won Sexiest Male.

During the celebrations, EastEnders' Cheryl Fergison, better known as lardy Heather Trott, was swept off her feet by Cliff Parisi (Minty). But she looked amazing in a flattering brown gown.

Here we look at all the other soap girls who scrubbed up well . . .

The ceremony is broadcast on ITV1 on Wednesday at 8pm.

Soap Opera's are for poorly educated people who lack ambition.

I can't believe Hollyoaks walked away empty handed! They were well and truly robbed! And as for boring, miserable Eastenders winning best soap, are they bribing the judges???
