Inside Soap Awards' boozy afterparty as Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale stars let loose

The Inside Soap Awards are an annual celebration, and a reason for some of the biggest soap stars in the UK to let loose and let their hair down after an incredibly busy year on set of Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, and Hollyoaks.

The awards celebrated their 30 years of Inside Soap magazine with an in-person event after two years as a virtual ceremony.

While it was a huge night for the cast and crew of EastEnders after the show scooped Best Soap at coveted awards, stars including Lacey Turner and Lorraine Stanley put on a demure display as they rocked up to the after-party.

Lorraine, 46, looked worlds apart from her EastEnders role as Karen Taylor as she wore her blonde locks in a sleek, straight style and a glamorous, bold patterned kimono-style dress with tasseled sleeves.

As she arrived to the after-party, the much-loved EastEnders actress beamed as she held up a cover of Inside the Soap Magazine after her co-star Lacey Turner, 34, who plays Stacey Slater on the BBC One soap, won the All-Time Icon award.

Lacey looked incredible on the red carpet in a pink floral floor-length number before she changed out of the show-stopping look before arriving at the after-party.

The talented actress slipped into something more comfortable and party-themed as she donned a velvet blazer with a slinky black top underneath.

After her huge win on Monday night, the Stacey Slater actress couldn't help but smile as she was spotted making her way out of the awards ceremony.

More than 90,000 votes were cast in Lacey's favour for the All-time Icon Award, leading to her being called up onto the stage to be given a huge gold trophy during the ceremony.

Elsewhere, Hollyoaks beauties Jennifer Metcalfe and Chelsea Healy held hands as they made their way to the after-party as their Hollyoaks co-stars Anna Passey and Kieron Richardson were named Best Double Act as Sienna Blake and Ste Hay on the night.

Jennifer, 39, looked like a Hollywood actress in a figure-hugging green bardot gown, while her co-star Chelsea, 34, opted for a show-stopping black lace number.

Corrie actress Kimberly Hart-Simpson also put on a demure display as she rocked up in a chic grey two-piece suit.

The soap star, known for portraying the role of Nicky Wheatley, looked gorgeous as she slicked her blonde locks back from her face as she allowed her daring ensemble to take centre stage.

Neighbours actress Jacinta Stapleton looked delighted to be attending the much-talked-about after-party as she beamed and giggled for the cameras while rocking a vintage-style red number.

The 43-year-old actress played Amy Greenwood in the Australian TV soap from 1997 to 2000 and again from 2020 to 2022 when the long-running soap sadly came to an end earlier this year.

Meanwhile Hollyoaks actress Anna Passey looked to be in a bit of a rush as she was snapped swiftly walking to the after-party after an exciting night.

The brunette beauty flashed a huge smile at the cameras as she let loose while donning a show-stopping velvet mini dress and some knee-high black boots.

And Corrie legend Dame Maureen Lipman proved that she's a style icon as she made her way to the after-party in a pattered velvet bomber jacket.

The actress, 76, who has Evelyn Plummer in 2018, delighted fans when she was seen attending the annual awards after announcing that she would be taking a break from her role earlier this year.

Maureen was awarded Best Comic Performance for her role as Evelyn Plummer.
