Jane McDonald has spoken of her 'excitement' after being announced as this year's host of the British Soap Awards. It comes as the singer and TV presenter has been chosen to replace regular ceremony host Philip Schofield - following his affair confession last week.
Taking to her Instagram account earlier today (June 1), the 60-year-old shared the news with her 205,000 followers. "I'm so excited to be this years host for The British Soap Awards!!" She wrote.
"Everyone knows how much I LOVE my soaps, this year I’ve been honoured to be mentioned in Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale so this is just a dream come true. I can’t wait to see all our wonderful soap nominees and celebrate all their hard work with them - roll on the awards, I can’t wait!"
