Emmerdale fans were moved by Jeff Hordley's response at the British Soap Awards on Thursday night (June 5). The ceremony, which took place at the Hackney Empire in London on Saturday night (May 31), was broadcast five days later.

Despite knowing that EastEnders had swept the board, many viewers were keen to watch the event unfold. Loose Women's Jane McDonald returned as host for the second time, with the awards having been skipped in 2024.

Emmerdale secured just one award, with Amelia Flanagan winning Best Young Performer for her portrayal of April Windsor, daughter of police officer Donna Windsor and chef Marlon Dingle, reports the Manchester Evening News .
