'The Great British Bake Off' Wins Best Soap Opera At Soap Awards

'The Great British Bake Off' Named Best Soap Opera At Soap Awards
BBC

'The Great British Bake Off' was the surprise winner of Best Soap at a British soap awards ceremony last night.

The show was praised for its dramatic storylines - including the opening 'bloodbath' episode, Paul Hollywood's romantic subplot and the fight between Raymond Blanc and finalist Ruby Tandoh.

'The Great British Bake Off' beat off stiff competition from 'The X Factor' and 'Strictly Come Dancing' to bag the award - although the latter did win 'Sexiest Female' for Susannah Reid.
