ITV has announced that they are cancelling 2024's British Soap Awards without an explanation.<\/p>\n
There is no reason apparent for the decision as 2.9 million Brits tuned in for the 2023 award ceremony, so it should have returned by popular demand.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
This summer Coronation Street won big at the Soap Awards, scooping up six prizes.<\/p>\n
But it seems Corrie stars and producers will not get the chance to go head-to-head with the cast and crew of EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Doctors in the coming year.<\/p>\n
An ITV spokesperson told Radio Times: "The British Soap Awards won't be on air in 2024 but is set to return in 2025.<\/p>\n
"The show was fantastically received in 2023, achieving consolidated figures of 2.9 million and doubling its audience year on year, so we look forward to the show's return."<\/p>\n
This year's ceremony faced some controversy as Philip Schofield was forced to step down after having hosted the show since 2006.<\/p>\n The Sun exclusively revealed that BAFTA award winner Jane McDonald would take his place on the big stage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Protestors gathered outside the The Lowry in Salford on the night of the big bash with placards of Schofield and his former This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby.<\/p>\n But beaming new presenter Jane had the crowd in stitches as she announced the 2023 gong winners.<\/p>\n<\/picture>SORE POINT <\/span><\/p>\n
