British Soap Awards viewers left cringing over awkward name blunder
British Soap Award viewers were left cringing over an awkward name blunder as a winner was called out.
The biggest night in soaps returned for another glitzy bash on Tuesday as all the telly favourites came together to celebrate their achievements.
Stars from the nation's most loved soaps including Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks were all in attendance.
Yet one blunder caught many viewers eyes, as they were left asking "are you okay?"
During the night host Jane McDonald handed over to a star from BBC's hit show The Traitors to give out Best Villain award.

But as he read out Aaron's name, he appeared to mispronounce it - and viewers straight away noticed.
Rushing to Twitter, one person said: “Erm don’t think that’s how you pronounce Aaron hahaha.”
A second added: “Love my AYYYRON thiara.”
“A-ron? Is it not Aaron,” said someone else, as a fourth mused: “Who’s aayron thiara.”
Another viewer said: “ayron theaira??? are you alright mate?”

The award show was hosted by Loose Women panellist and cruise ship queen Jane McDonald, who wowed in a red velvet dress as she arrived to present this year's British Soap Awards.
She was announced as presenter following Phillip Schofield's dramatic exit from ITV.
