The 2010 British Soap Awards honoured the best in British soap operas throughout 2010 and 2011. The ceremony was held on 8 May 2010 at the London Studios, Lambeth, and was later broadcast on ITV1 and STV. The publicly voted categories were initially announced, which included a longlist for the Best Actress and Actor awards.[1] The shortlist, including panel nominations, were released later.[2]

BBC soap EastEnders won the most awards of the night, taking ten awards. These included five of the six publicly-voted categories, notably the accolade for Best British Soap.[3] ITV soap opera Coronation Street won three awards, while BBC soap Doctors took both the Best On-Screen Partnership and Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor or Actress accolades.[4] Both ITV soap Emmerdale and Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks claimed one award each.[5] Maggie Jones, who portrayed Blanche Hunt in Coronation Street, was remembered during the ceremony, having died in 2009.[6]
