British Soap Awards had one major issue with this year's show the full list of winners had been made public by ITV days before the ceremony actually aired on television.
The Soap Awards have been a staple of ITV's calendar for decades now, with the categories voted for by both a panel of industry experts and fans at home. A lot of the ceremonies have been pre-recorded over the years, before airing on ITV the following week.
However, for the last few years, the event has been shown live, meaning that there was no chance of any of the results leaking before viewers got a chance to find out. That definitely was not the case with the 2023 awards, as the full list of winners was released by ITV late on Saturday night after the ceremony took place in Salford, with the results swiftly being shared online.
