As we all know, award shows are just a vehicle for people to flounce down a red carpet, usually wearing whatever clothes they've had thrust at them by their agent/stylist. Some pulled out long gunas. Others just went for jeans. While a small portion mistook the event for a panto audtion. Elsewhere, some folk mingled freely with people from other soaps, while others signed autographs for happy fans. Then there were those who went one step further, letting passers by feel up their hair extensions , and positioning their hoops tantalisingly close to the railings. Tantalisingly close. Nearby, a member of Hollyoaks was happy to let a photographer try out his new Stumpy Cam, while George Lamb insisted on the standard issue lense. Lastly, this lady's stylist was told she was dressing Alexa Chung.
