This year's event will also feature the newly created feel-good moment award.

Steven Murphy, editor of Inside Soap magazine, said: "Soaps have been a real source of comfort to people when the rest of the world has seemed strange and scary this year.

"To have our favourite characters in our living room gave us a sense of normality, so we thought it was vital we recognised the huge role soaps have played in our lives by continuing our popular awards through a virtual ceremony.

"It's also important to remember soaps aren't all shock twists and big explosions of drama.

"They're life-affirming, and often remind us that there's always hope, so we wanted to introduce the 'feel-good moment' accolade to find out what gave the public a rosy glow in these rather uncomfortable times."

The ceremony will take place on November 16.
