Last night, a number of soap stars at the British Soap Awards in London let their hair down before a rumored bomb scare brought the afterparty to an abrupt halt.
Stars of the nation’s favourite soaps were papped looking bleary-eyed as they left the British Soap Awards in London last night. The glitzy event, which was held at Hackney Town Hall, celebrated the creative cast from a whole host of shows, including EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
After the ceremony in which EastEnders waltzed away with an impressive eight gongs, beating Emmerdale, Corrie and Hollyoaks to take home Best British Soap, a slew of excitable stars let their hair down at the afterparty. Jaime Winstone, Patsy Palmer and Tina O’Brien were among those snapped at the bash, which went on until the early hours.

Jaime, the daughter of award-winning actor Ray Winstone, was seen leaving the venue with Bianca Jackson star Patsy Palmer while puffing on a cigarette and wearing a thigh-high white a gold dress.
After watching EastEnders clean up at the awards, Patsy looked stunning in a blue silk blazer and matching pair of pants.
Scott Maslen, a Jack Branning star, also represented EastEnders. As he praised Albert Square’s success, he was also seen smoking a cigarette, donning a tux, and holding a bottle of beer.
Adam Woodyatt, a fellow Walford wonder, Anita Dobson, who played the iconic Angie Watts, and Ian Beale star Adam Woodyatt, both performed at the knees.
In the early hours of the following party, Coronation Street actress Tina O’Brien was spotted exiting the venue. As she made her way to her hotel in the capital, she looked stunning while wearing a floor-length, nude dress with gold sequins.
Also at the bash on behalf of Corrie, was actor Jack P Shepherd and Mollie Gallagher, who looked quite content chomping on a burger in the street, wearing a gorgeous powder blue dress with tuille detail and a cute black hair bow.
The soap stars were abruptly asked to leave the venue shortly before 1am after the event had reportedly received a bomb threat, despite letting their hair down at the glamorous bash.
Speaking to the Mirror, our source said: “We all got evacuated just before 1am. No reason was given at first and security came round and told us we had to leave immediately.
Security informed us that there had been a bomb threat as we all stood outside the street. People started making their way home because we were prevented from returning to the building.
Some of TV’s biggest soap stars can be seen waiting outside the venue as more evacuate, with the likes of Emmett J. Scanlan and other former stars in a video that we have seen.
A show source added that the after-party venue had to be evacuated because of a security alert following the recording of the awards. Everyone was safely cleared from the building.
The Metropolitan Police also told us: “At 00:49hrs on Sunday, 1 June, police were called to Hackney Town Centre after a threat was made to the premises. The call was determined to be a hoax and nothing suspicious was located.”
The Mirror has contacted ITV.
Despite the reported drama after the ceremony, the awards were a real celebration of the best the soap world has to offer.
Eight awards were given to EastEnders, including Best Dramatic Performance for Steve McFadden and Best Single Episode for Phil Mitchell’s psychosis.
Meanwhile, Hollyoaks won three gongs, Emmerdale took home two and Coronation Street left with one – the Outstanding Achievement Award to David Neilson, who has played Roy Cropper for 30 years.
