THE BRITISH Soap Awards is returning this year with a very familiar host.
The long-running ITV celebration of all things soap as the best and brightest from Coronation Street, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Hollyoaks face off to win awards.

And after a year long hiatus after the show was mysteriously cancelled last year, it returns to screens this summer.
The Sun can reveal that Jane McDonald will host once more after stepping in in 2023 to replace disgraced presenter Phillip Schofield.
A show source said “The soaps are as popular as ever and currently delivering some brilliant must see TV so fans can expect a night to remember when The British Soap Awards returns.
“The British Soap Awards were hugely missed by everyone last year, it’s the biggest night in the soap calendar so there’s great excitement it’s back”
The Sun revealed last year how the bash would be back this year – and it’s been a bumper year for soaps.
EastEnders will no doubt be expecting to win big after its 40th anniversary live episode.
The BBC soap drafted in old favourites from its 40 year history in the run-up to last week’s special.
And it pulled off a major shock with a ghostly appearance from original Queen Vic landlady Angie Watts with Anita Dobson reprising her role.
ITV rival Emmerdale also pulled out all the stops for a dramatic limo crash stunt week that saw FOUR shocking deaths revealed.
Coronation Street has also been riding high on the devastating death of Paul Foreman last year, and the huge house fire as David Platt spirals out of control.

And Hollyoaks has revived itself after a tough few years that saw its weekly episodes slashed by 40 per cent – down to three per week.
However it’s year-long time jump and strong storylines have revitalised the show just in time for the awards.
