EastEnders sweeps the board at the first Radio Times Soap Awards as it is awarded seven gongs including Best Soap and Moment Of The Year for the BBC show's Christmas Special


EastEnders proved it is ahead of the soap pack after receiving an incredible seven awards at the first ever RadioTimes.com Soap Awards on Saturday night.

Keanu Taylor [Danny Walters] was murdered by Linda Carter [Kellie Bright], and six characters were seen surrounding his dead body; Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal). 'I'm thrilled for all our nominees and of course our winners – these accolades reflect what has been a terrific year for British soap, delivering all the twists, turns and unbeatable drama that have kept UK audiences hooked for over six decades.' A panel of experts voted for Coronation Street's Charlie Wrenshall for Best Young Performer, Hollyoaks' Iz Hesketh for Best Newcomer and EastEnders star Angela Wynter for Best Actor.
