The final shortlist for the viewer-voted categories at the British Soap Awards 2011 has been announced this morning.

Voting for this year's prizes began in early March when a full longlist was revealed for the 'Sexiest Male', 'Sexiest Female', 'Villain of the Year', 'Best Actor' and 'Best Actress' categories, which contained three nominees from each of the UK soaps: Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.
