The great and the good of soap world descended upon London's Hackney Empire on Saturday night as the British Soap Awards 2025 kicked off in style.
Leading the red carpet glamour was Jacqueline Jossa, who sizzled in a strapless black gown as she posed up a storm for the camera.
The actress was joined by the likes of Walford co-star Patsy Palmer, as well as Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien and Hollyoaks' Jorgie Porter - with the latter two suffering an award fashion fail as they rocked up in the same dress!
Jacqueline oozed confidence as she modelled the slinky black number which featured a sequinned top half and a high split which allowed her to showcase plenty of leg.
She boosted her height with chic black heels while wearing her raven locks in a sleek style.
