Each year, the awards alternate between venues in the south and the north, with shows including EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale vying for recognition in categories such as best soap, best leading performer and villain of the year.

Phil announced he was leaving This Morning on Saturday, 20 May with immediate effect amid reports of a rift with co-star Holly Willoughby, who had long been a close friend.
