Sign up fornow for the biggest moments from morning TV The British Soap Awards 2018 saw a host of badly dressed celebrities making style disasters on the red carpet. Some of the small screens’ best known actors and actresses made their way into The Hackney Empire in London in the hope of winning a gong. But many had lost before the ceremony even started with bad fashion choices which led them to join the list of worst dressed celebrities. The cast of Doctors were some of the first to arrive, and sadly many of the women from the show did not get style proceedings off well. Sarah Moyle chose a black dress with Chinese floral print - but the body pattern and red colour clashed with the carpet.<doc-sep>THE annual British Soap awards are here with stars from a host of shows battling it out to go home with a trophy. There are 13 categories ranging from villain of the year to best newcomer, with a special one-off category the Greatest Moment award. 12 Connor McIntyre's character was dramatically killed off on the cobbles Credit: Getty - Contributor Connor McIntyre has been nominated in three categories; Best Actor, Villain of the Year and Best Male Dramatic Performance. The 57-year-old – who played Coronation Street’s Pat Phelan – was killed off on the cobbles in last night’s episode as his character’s reign of terror finally came to an end. But it appears Connor has embarked on a more terrifying path – scaring people with his outfit. The soap-star has opted for a double-breasted mustard suit, which looks suspiciously like velvet. And to top it off he has teamed his bizarre look with a pair of baby blue trainers. 12 Kellie Bright is wearing a shapeless sparkly dress Credit: PA Kellie Bright is mixing both colours and sparkles in this oddly shaped sack of a dress. The 41-year-old, who plays Linda Carter in EastEnders, looks swamped by the dress. The shapeless frock, which makes an attempt at a waistline with the help of a belt, features a straight neckline and chunky sleeves, adding to its voluminous appearance. Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict Is the star ship enterprise parked outside? It is a weird length. It would work as a midi not an ankle grazer! 12 Corrie's Nicola Thorpe wore a dress with sleeves resembling loo roll Credit: PA Nicola Thorpe went all-white but her dress was not alright on the night. The 28-year-old, who plays Nicola Rubinstein on Coronation Street, went for a daring floor-length gown. The neckline features a cut out panel which reaches nearly to her navel, but it’s the sleeves where things begin to unravel. The colour and cut of the sleeves give the unfortunate impression of toilet roll. Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict This dress is like Marmite: you either love it or you hate it! For me, it's the latter. It should work...but it doesn't. All the best moments you need to see from the 2018 British Soap Awards 12 Lysette's dress looks more like a multi-coloured painting Credit: Rex Features Lysette, who plays Marnie Nightingale in Hollyoaks, went for a strapless multi-coloured gown, resembling a painting. Synched in at the waist, the top half the dress seemed to be lacking support. And a bizarre mini-belt between the two didn’t help. A lack of jewellery left her neck and shoulders looking a little bare in this frock. Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict I think Lysette has had this dress since the Eighties and, while I am all about re-using and recycling, this might be a step too far! 12 Laura has previously been nominated but didn't make the cut this year Credit: PA As the familiar faces from our screens, from Coronation Street to EastEnders, take to the red carpet some people should have a word with wardrobe. Laura Norton, who plays Kerry Wyatt in Emmerdale, has seemingly worn a dress made of net curtains – which doesn't do a good job of hiding her black bra. The 34-year-old, who has previously been nominated but didn’t make the cut this year, has teamed her dress with a pair of lace up chunky brown platforms with mesh-inspired sides, clashing with a rainbow clutch. She paired the outfit with dangling earrings and a messy up-do. Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict This white shift dress looks like it belongs in Ibiza, not on the red carpet! And I can't even talk about the shoes or the bag. 12 Connie Hyde was wielding a Margaret Thatcher-style handbag Credit: Getty - Contributor Coronation Street’s Connie Hyde turned up in a navy blue lacy number. The 48-year-old plays Gina Seddon in the soap, the sister of long-standing character Sally Webster. She paired the dress with matching court shoes and a Margaret Thatcher-style handbag. Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict Connie Hyde, are you at the right event? As lovely as you look in your lace number, you could be going to a job interview! You have a fab figure and amazing hair. Next year go hard or go home! 12 Andrea Gordon plays Bren Lee in soap Doctors Credit: PA Doctors’ Andrea Gordon has turned up in a chaotic floor-length dress. The leopard print dress features a one-sided strappy neckline, thigh high split and cut-out panels. For jewellery she's opted for a red heart necklace alongside the hot-pink dress, and gone for dramatic cat-eye make-up and her hair pulled back in a quiff. Andrea plays Bren Lee in Doctors, and while she hasn’t been personally nominated the soap is up for an award in two categories. 12 Jessica Ellis is channelling Joseph and his technicolour dreamcoat Credit: Rex Features Jessica Ellis is arguably one of the most colourful on the red carpet, and is clashing with it too. The Hollyoaks actress, who plays Tegan Lomax, has donned a purple floor-length dress with rainbow belt. And to top it off, the dress features a matching rainbow cape, making Jessica look more like Joseph and his technicolour dreamcoat. Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict Is this a joke? I think someone has bet her to wear this rainbow number! Although rainbows ruled the runway at Burberry, this dress looks more fancy dress than black tie 12 Emma Atkins has been nominated in the Best Actress category Credit: Getty - Contributor Emmerdale actress, Emma Atkins, plays has played Charity Dingle since 2000, taking a break from 2005 to 2009. The 43-year-old is nominated for Best Actress, but appears to have dressed as if she was attending a funeral. Emma has worn a black suit with wide trousers which nearly swallow her shoes.<doc-sep>The video will auto-play soon 8 Cancel Get our daily Echo newsletter for the biggest stories and breaking news Invalid Email Something went wrong, please try again later.

Having ditched her on-screen blonde highlights in favour of a deep brunette, Helen wore her hair straight and sleek, braving towering studded white stilettos to complete her eye-catching look. Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict WOW! How sexy does Helen Flannigan look with her gorgeous bump and slinky white spray-on dress! She could easily do the Hollywood red carpet in this white hot number! Catherine Tyldesley also went for white, and looked sensational in a plunging long-sleeve dress with statement shoulders and a fishtail skirt.

I know some people will love it but it is too try hard for me. Her fellow Hollyoaks cast mate Sarah Jayne Dunn wore a similar shade, though her gown was more sheer than Amanda's. She also went bold on the accessories, adding a silver belt and fussy necklace, though her nude heels made sure not to detract from the frock. 21 Sarah Jayne Dunn has Dunn it again Credit: Getty - Contributor Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict This pale blue number with the thigh high split is really gorgeous... except for the the accessories. There are too many! I would have lost either the belt or the necklace so they don't fight each other. Otherwise very elegant! Emmerdale's Amy Walsh (Tracey Metcalfe) also turned heads in a hot pink one shoulder floor-length gown. The frock was simple yet chic, and showed off the actress's slender physique. She finished her look with a loose, Meghan Markle-style up do and a smokey eye. 21 Amy Walsh wowed in hot pink Credit: PA Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict I LOVE the colour of Amy's one shoulder number, but the frill is a bit too big for my liking.

The star, who plays Sinead Tinker, was a perfect blend of sassy and classy, and accessorised with matching colour nails and beaded tassel earrings. 21 Corrie's Katie McGlynn radiated glamour in this satin backless gown Credit: Getty - Contributor 21 Katie swept up her hair in a pony, which showed off her stylish tassel earrings Credit: Getty - Contributor Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict Katie McGlyn is on FIRE! Wowzer! This dress leaves little to the imagination but manages to look super sexy and super expensive! Her hair, make-up and earrings all get top marks too! Emmerdale's Gillian Kearney, who is up for Villain of the Year for her role as mad Emma Barton, showed off her stunning figure in a simple tight white gown with lace-up detail. She teamed her frock with a gold clutch bag and towering strappy metallic heels. 21 Emmerdales Gillian Kearney showed off her incredible figure in a cream gown with a lace-up design which fed into the skirt split Credit: PA Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict Gillian Kearny's simple cream dress with thigh high split is understated and elegant! The simple gold accessories set it of beautifully. Classy and contemporary, just like her! Gillian's on-screen nemesis Natalie J Robb, who plays Moira Barton, also looked a far cry from her usual farm clobber. The striking star opted for a rich emerald green lace gown, sweeping her jet black locks into a loose up do. 21 Natalie J Robb looked elegant in emerald Credit: PA Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer: Fashion Verdict What a gorgeous colour this is on Natalie. The emerald green trimmed with laced fitted beautifully - she gets full marks. Heading up the glamour for the EastEnders crowd was young star Maisie Smith.

And luckily many of the women in attendance did not crack under the pressure of the cameras, looking stunning in an array of beautiful gowns. Jennifer Metcalfe, 35, looked chic in a nude off-the-shoulder ruffled dress with delicate polka dots. She made the most of her bare shoulders by pairing the dress with a stylish updo.

British Soap Awards 2018: Best dressed stars looked fantastic on the red carpet Gillian Taylforth, 62, also wore red, but also looked fantastic. Her fitted gown showed off her age-defying figure. In fact, red ended up being the colour of the night, with Sophie Porley, 25, showing off every curve in a silk red dress. And Hedydd Dyla, from Emmerdale, chose a gown that wouldn’t have looked out of place in Hollywood, and she paired this with a deep red lipstick. Amy Walsh, 31, stood out in a hot pink dress which featured a massive ruffle one shoulder collar. Not all of the celebs opted for bright reds and pinks, with Sally Carman, 37, choosing a pretty black dress with heavy floral embroidery.
