Of all the different award categories of the British Soap Awards night, the Sexiest female award is probably one of the most coveted.

And this year was no different with actresses Preeya Kalidas, who plays Amira in Eastenders, Sammy Winward who plays Katie in Emmerdale and Sophie Abelson who plays Cherry in Doctors being some of the few who were nominated for this award.

However it was Michelle Keegan who plays Tina in Coronation Street, that beat all these girl’s to the post, and we have to say we think she deserves it.

Dressed in an on-trend nude mini strapless frock, which she teamed up with white peep-toe slingbacks, the actress cut a striking figure amongst her soap counter parts.

Take a look at the gallery featuring the other girls nominated for this award and let us know if you think Michelle won the crown in both the sexiest and style stakes by voting and leaving your comments below.
