Jacqueline Jossa and Jorgie Porter lead the glamour at 2014 British Soap Awards in racy semi-sheer gowns..All the pictures

Their characters are often embroiled in dramatic storylines which controversial scenes.

But Jennifer Metcalfe, Jorgie Porter and Jacqueline Jossa were clearly ready for some good, clean fun at the British Soap Awards on Saturday.

The women led the way in show-stopping, floor-length dresses which wowed fans at the Hackney Empire in East London.

She's well red: Jennifer Metcalfe strikes a pose at the British Soap Awards

Jennifer, who plays Mercedes McQueen in Hollyoaks, stunned in a fitted red dress with leopard-print shoes

  

Jennifer, who plays Mercedes McQueen in Hollyoaks, stunned in a fitted red dress which she wore with leopard-print shoes.

Flaunting a cut-out back and crop-top effect, her hair was worn in a cascade of waves while she matched her look with a flash of red lipstick.

She also sported another must-have accessory: a tan.

Dressed to impress: Jorgie Porter turned heads in her flowing silk gown

Dramatic: Jacqueline Jossa revealed plenty of flesh ion her sheer-topped dress

Golden girl: Brooke Vincent opted for a Grecian-esque dress with bed-head hair

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Jossa - known for playing Laura Branning in Eastenders - went for a very different look.
She kept her hair smooth and sleek while wearing a contrast dress featuring a sheer panel with peacock-effect feathers. The choice was a daring one for the London-born 21 year-old, who showcased plenty of skin without looking brash.
Meanwhile, Jorgie Porter cut a stylish figure in a stunning silk gown which - literally - turned heads.

His and hers: Marvin and Rochelle Humes arrive in matching style

The same, but different: Tamara Wall and Anna Passey both wore high-neck, sleeveless gowns

The future's bright: Jazmine Franks was tan-tastic on the red carpet

They weren't the only glamorous faces to appear on the red carpet, however. Marvin and Rochelle Humes were sartorially in sync with their jet-black evening wear, which was both flattering and fetching.
Tamara Wall and Anna Passey both stunned in similar red and blue silk dresses, while Jazmine Franks opted for a more Grecian affair. She capped it off with suitably-styled hair in a messy 'up' do.
However, not everybody looked quite so demure. Former Coronation Street and Heartbeat performer Nikki Sanderson seemed to over-do it in a pink ruffled dress.

Ambitious dress: Nikki Sanderson looked more like Katie Price

Pretty in pink? Nikki Sanderson looked beautiful - but no thanks to her camp dress

Handsome: Jeremy Sheffield and Nikki Sanderson posed together at the Hackney Empire

Featuring a raised hemline at the front and a bodice top, it left little to the imagination and was reminiscent of something Katie Price would wear.
Naturally, she matched it with strappy heels for maximum effect.
Thankfully, Michelle Keegan did not disappoint. She wore a black and white suit and looked stunning on the arm of TOWIE star Mark Wright.

Wow! Michelle Keegan was a far cry away from her on-screen character Tina McIntyre

Monochrome: Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright make a stunning couple at the annual awards

The ceremony will be her last as a cast-member of Coronation Street.
Somebody else who got it right on the fashion front was former This Life actress Luisa Bradshaw-White. She channeled the look of a classic fifties film star as she wore a metallic dress with capped shoulders and simple heels.
With subtle make-up and a demure hair style, she was one of the more immaculately dressed.

Black tie: Luisa Bradshaw-White and Amanda Clapham both went for darker looks

Peachy! Catherine Tyldesley arriving in style for the 2014 British Soap Awards

She's still got it: Helen Worth was beautiful in her silver dress, while Natalie Cassidy went for bold blue

Emmerdale: (Left to Right) Maddy Hill, Kellie Bright, Danny Dyer, Sam Strike and Danny-Boy Hatchard arriving for the 2014 British Soap Awards

Still got the X factor: Singer Sam Bailey displays her baby bump while Tisha Merry looked simply fabulous

Selfie-esteem: James Forde & Danny Dyer pose together in their suits

On the road: Brooke Vincent shares a private snap of her journey to Hackney

Bosom buddies: Georgia May Foote and her pal get close for a shot

Jamie Lomas was typically handsome in a navy blue suit, while Chloe Peers showed some leg in a sexy-yet-sophisticated offering.
Following a different year, actor William Roach was clearly delighted to be back in work mode - and celebrating the success of his long-running character.
Coronation Street is up for several awards, including Best Storyline and Best On-Screen Couple.
Meanwhile, Nick and David's car crash is also up for storyline of the year.

Handsome duo: Eastenders actor Jamie Lomas and his guest Chloe Peers

Embroidered: Anna Acton and Debbie Rush's dresses featured floral patterns in their own unique way

Following a difficult year, William Roache looked relaxed on the red carpet

Sophie Austin (left) looked classy but Charlie Clapham wore some dodgy shoes at the Hackney Empire, London

Bright young things: Stephanie Davis and Modupe Adeyeye were floor-length fans

Nominated for a number of accolades, Corrie's Julie Hesmondhalgh was a far cry away from her alter-ego Hayley Cropper, who died in a sensational storyline, earlier this year.
Perhaps the cast of the show were afforded special style advisers as Brooke Vincent also looked impressive in her gold and white dress.
Debbie Rush didn't let the side down either in a damask black dress with gold shoes.

Stylish: Julie Hesmondhalgh looked young and trendy in her lace and velvet dress

Stylish: Actresses Anna Mitchell and Jessica Ellis wore their trademark looks with aplomb

Pretty in pink: Jessica Fox looked glamorous in her floor-length dress

Different looks: Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Waring and Gemma Bissix

Hosted by Philip Schofield, the awards will take place tonight but be screened on ITV Sunday evening at 8.15pm.
The accolades are bestowed on a combination of public voting and panel decisions.
Last year's biggest winner was Coronation Street, with eight awards.

elegant: Mandip Gill kept it timeless in a jewel-encrusted gown

Not so classic: Kristian Kiehling wore a velvet jacket while Nitin Ganatra arrived in a shiny black suit

Surprises, shockers, and extravagance -- must be a Kardashian wedding! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West finally said "I do" in front of close family members and friends at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy on Saturday, May 24. Although the ceremony is the Keeping Up With the Kardashian's third walk down the aisle, it most certainly will become the most memorable of them all.
So as the newlyweds celebrate during their reception, here's to five of the biggest highlights from their star-studded blowout bash.
1. Where's Rob?
Kim Kardashian's younger brother Rob Kardashian landed back in L.A. before the couple got a chance to even dance to their first song as husband and wife. A source confirmed to Us Weekly that the 27-year-old flew out of Paris, France before taking the trek to Italy. While in the City of Light, the only son of the family was never photographed, despite the family visiting Valentino's Chateau de Wideville and having fun on a carousel near the Eiffel Tower.
PHOTOS: Celebrities who've been married three times or more
2. Bey Bounces
Beyonce, like Rob, was a no show at the much-talked about nuptials. As previously reported, Jay Z was expected to attend best friend West's big day. However, as exclusively revealed, the twosome headed to the Hamptons instead. The "Drunk in Love" singer wished the newlyweds a "lifetime of unconditional love" amid her absence.
PHOTOS: Kimye's sweetest moments
3. Stylish Trio
Does it get any cuter? Kimye and their baby girl North West, 11 months, wore outfits styled by the same fashion designer: Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci. A Givenchy rep confirmed to Us that the bride wore a Givenchy haute couture gown, West sported a Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci tux, and North wore a Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci dress. To make the walk down the aisle extra special, Bruce Jenner escorted Kardashian while Kris Jenner carried her beautiful granddaughter.
4. That Special Touch
Not just about them! The bride and groom tried to give their guests a night to remember by adding unique details to their wedding's festivities throughout the night. Upon arrival to the ceremony, each guest was given a small bouquet of white flowers. Furthermore, a source tells Us marble tables at the reception had each person's name engraved in 24K gold.

5. Repeat, Please
Party time! Kardashian and West went all out when choosing their playlist. The couple started off with a mashup of Etta James' "At Last" and Otis Redding's "These Arms of Mine" and "Tenderness" for their first dance. John Legend was also on hand to sing his ballad "All of Me," which has been the No. 1 song in the country for weeks.

'I'm not sad, but I'm bitter' -Diego Simeone after loosing Final To Real Madrid 4-1

The coach was devastated that his Atletico were defeated in extra-time by Real Madrid, while he avoided criticising the referee or Raphael Varane despite a late clash

Diego Simeone stressed he was "bitter, but not sad" after Atletico Madrid were defeated 4-1 in the Champions League final by Real Madrid on Saturday.

The coach was fuming on the sidelines over the five added minutes in the second half in which Sergio Ramos scored his dramatic equaliser after Diego Godin's opener to send the match into extra-time.

Having remonstrated with the referee after 105 minutes had been played, Simeone then stormed on to the pitch after becoming riled by Madrid defender Raphael Varane, who seemed to provoke the Atletico bench by kicking a ball into the dugout following Cristiano Ronaldo's late penalty.

"I don't feel sad," the Argentine told reporters after the match. "It's bitterness that I feel for not reaching my goal. Now the calmness is stronger and it has overcome this situation.

"The match ends when the referee wants, I've nothing else to say on the matter. Hopefully this will provide Varane with experience and he will learn. He's a great player with a great future."

Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Ronaldo all scored in extra-time to give the Blancos a flattering scoreline considering how long Atletico had led, but Simeone accepted that his team grew weary as the game went on at Estadio da Luz.

"Real Madrid were better in the second half of the game" he added. "We were all tired but they got a little better.

"I tried to tell my team that they remained competitive throughout the match and I am always proud of my players - they fought until the end with a lot of humility.

"We were locked in the middle of the pitch with nowhere to go and that makes things very difficult. Football is marvelous for that. At times, it teaches us that winning is everything and it is the most important.

"Losing is not worthy of a tear, we need to keep our heads up and prepare for next season. It is part of the game but obviously you have the two situations. But we gave everything and other people know that Atletico can compete.

"We're working for the best. We won a marvellous Liga, which is day to day and we came close to an international competition, which is good for business."

Simeone also defended his decision to start Diego Costa, who has been struggling with fitness issues in recent weeks, after the forward had to be brought off after nine minutes.

"The responsibility to play Costa was mine," he added. "I was wrong but he was not in the good condition that we saw yesterday."

Hundreds of fans attend Kim Krdashian's wedding. Guess what? They came to see Justin Bieber and she couldn't #Belieb it!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are now husband and wife after marrying in front of roughly 200 guests at Fort Belvedere in Florence.
At sunset, the couple exchanged their vows with Miami Pastor, Rich Wilkerson Jnr., reportedly conducting the ceremony organised by long-time Kardashian family friend and celebrity event planner Sharon Sacks, who also planned Kim's second wedding to Kris Humphries in 2011.
Kanye appeared to be very nervous beforehand, according to one eyewitness who said: 'It was funny how nervous he was. He clearly knew the gravity of what he was about to do. This morning he was all smiles, but as it got closer, you could see that the nerves were kicking in. It's common for most grooms. I've seen it all before.'
Super fans: Hordes of girls itching to see Justin Bieber hope to catch a glimpse of the popstar at the wedding of Kim and Kanye, but there's no guarantee he's actually been invited

The Kardashian clan arrived in two blacked-out cars at around 3pm. A woman, believed to be Kim's assistant, then got out of the first car - opening the back door.
Fans and photographers then got the smallest glimpse of Kim, 33 - who ran in to the fort with her head bowed wearing a white dress. E! reports that Kim rode with her grandmother Mary J Eustace, who has herself been married three times, like her granddaughter.
In the second car were numerous members of the bride's family including mother Kris Jenner, sister Kourtney and half-sister Kendall. The family's entourage carried large dress bags with them as the group made their way in to the venue. Rapper Kanye West arrived alone about 90 minutes earlier.
Wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and sand-coloured boots, the 36-year-old rapper looked relaxed as he climbed out of a blacked-out Mercedes and walked through the grand entrance of the fort. Members of his ensemble travelled with him in a black SUV, which followed close behind.

Yaya Toure refuses to commit future to Man City... as unsettled star is given a late birthday cake live on TV by Keys

Yaya Toure refused to comment on his Manchester City future on beIN Sports on Saturday night.
The Ivorian midfielder, who is currently being treated for an unspecified injury ahead of the World Cup, joined former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys in Doha in the build-up to the Champions League final.
And when asked where he was going to be playing next season, Toure was vague in his response.

No comment: Yaya Toure didn't respond when asked where he would be playing next season

Late birthday present! Richard Keys presented Toure with this cake while on the beIN Sports programme

Asked by Keys if City fans could expect to see him in their sky blue colours next season, Toure replied: 'That’s a good question. I think, to be honest with you now, there’s been a couple of rumours, a couple of things going out, but as a player you always want to focus and keep calm.
'As well as that, the fact that the fans look up to you and the people love you, they always want to question you and they always want an answer from you, but for my part I have come to Qatar to try and recover from an injury and to prepare myself for the World Cup.
'After the World Cup I will make a statement but there is a lot of things in the media and as a player that’s sometimes difficult and I have to manage that. The World Cup is very important for my country and I need to focus on that.'
Keys tweeted: 'We know how to look after a guy. Yaya a lovely guy. No encouragement for Ciry tho. He wouldn't say he's staying.'
Toure was presented with a cake during his time on the station, ironic in the fact his future was thrown into doubt after not receiving a birthday treat at City.

Ambition: Toure has been linked with a return 'home' to Barcelona after a lack of respect from City

Comments: Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk has been in the public eye over the last week

Seluk later clarified his remarks, saying that Toure was disappointed nobody from a senior position at the club wished him happy birthday.
And on Thursday he added: 'Of course some players congratulated him (on his birthday) but not the sporting director, not the general director, not the chairman, nobody.
'(The manager?) No, nobody.

Snub: Toure was upset by Pellegrini not giving him a birthday message

Slice it up: Toure did get a birthday cake, pictured here, on the plane to their post-season tour
