Phillip Schofield, who had hosted the British Soap Awards since 2006, garnered media attention when he admitted to having an extramarital affair with a male ITV employee more than 30 years his junior and to lying about the relationship to ITV's management, his colleagues, his lawyers, his agents and others. He subsequently announced his decision to step down from the role a week prior to the ceremony. [5] Jane McDonald was announced as his replacement. [6] Despite him being replaced by McDonald, protestors against Schofield stood amongst attendees at the barriers of the Lowry with posters about him and ITV. [7]

BBC soap EastEnders won all four viewer-voted categories including Best British Soap, while ITV soap Coronation Street won the majority of panel-voted awards.
