Coronation Street babe Michelle Keegan may have been crowned the sexiest female soap star for the fourth year in a row but it was EastEnders who stole the show at the Inside Soap Awards.

Michelle - who plays the Rovers Return's favourite barmaid Tina McIntyre - saw off competition from the likes of EastEnders' Jacqueline Jossa, Emmerdale's Natalie Anderson and Hollyoaks' Rachel Shenton.
Despite her impressive trophy collection, modest Michelle insists it's her character everyone is in love with.
She previously told The Sun: 'I'm genuinely not sexy. I think people vote for Tina. She doesn't wear tight clothes, she doesn't wear loads of make-up, she's quite plain, I think girls can relate to that.
'I haven't changed since day one. I still go out in my pyjamas to Tesco, hair up, no make-up.'
Michelle also scooped the gong for Best Dressed Soap Star but lost out to Gillian Wright, who plays EastEnders' Jean Slater in the race for Best Actress.
