She’s got some front! Jennifer Metcalfe goes braless at British Soap Awards in gaping white blazer

  • Shock as EastEnders fails to pick up any awards except Lifetime Achievement

  • Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall took home Best Actor and Hollyoaks’ Claire Cooper won Best Actress

  • Hollyoaks received five awards including Spectacular Scene Of The Year and Sexiest Male

  • Michelle Keegan won the award for Sexiest Female for the fifth year running

She missed out on a nomination for Sexiest Female at this year’s British Soap Awards.

However, it looks like Jennifer Metcalfe was certainly showing awards bosses and the public they may have missed a trick by leaving her off the shortlist.

The Hollyoaks star, 29, certainly garnered plenty of attention as she arrived at the Manchester ceremony in a white Roberto Cavalli blazer and nothing underneath.

Too much? Jennifer shows off her breasts as the material gapes open

As she bent over, the gaping blazer nearly exposed Jennifer’s breasts to the waiting paparazzi.

Joining Jennifer on the red carpet was her co-star Gemma Merna, who plays her on-screen sister Carmel in the Channel 4 soap.

Ahead of her red carpet arrival, Jennifer had been tweeting about her pampering and cocktail sessions.

Just before she turned up at Media City in Salford, she admitted she was on her third cocktail.

She tweeted: ‘Cocktail no 3 now ‘av t get ready (sic).’

Rather interestingly, her former love rival Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria Connor in Coronation St, chose to stay at home.

Samia started dating Jennifer’s ex-boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon in January, soon after he ended his two year romance with the latter.

Blonde Gemma also went for a more daring look, in a floor-length lace gown with a sheer panel all down the side.

No doubt the actress would have done some serious waxing before opting for such a revealing ensemble.

Bit more restrained: Corrie star Brooke Vincent wore a white trouser suit... and probably a bra (unlike Jennifer)

Also going for a similar style to Jennifer was Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent, who wore a white trouser suit.

White appeared to be a dominant colour on the red carpet with Sexiest Female nominee Natalie Anderson – who plays Alicia Metcalfe in Emmerdale – also opting for a low-cut white gown.

Mother-to-be and former Corrie star Lucy-Jo Hudson showed off her bump in a flowing white gown as she arrived to support her husband Alan Halsall.

The Corrie star, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, is up for Best Actor, Best Storyline, Best Single Episode and Best On-Screen Partnership with co-star Jennie McAlpine.

His former co-star Natalie Gumede, who played Tyrone’s abusive wife Kirsty, is up for Best Villain, Best Dramatic Performance, Best Single Episode and Best Storyline. 

Natalie opted for a more colourful ensemble in a red patterned shift dress with a pair of matching killer heels.

Her co-star Georgia May Foote, who plays teen mum Katy Armstrong, also opted for the same colour, but a floor-length gown.

Also representing Corrie in the glamour stakes was Kym Lomas, who went for a Bond girl style in a gold shimmering dress with plunging back by Nadine Merabi.

Meanwhile, her co-star Michelle Keegan went for more understated glamour in a pretty pink column dress by Rachel Gilbert which she teamed with Matthew Campbell Laurenza jewellery.

The brunette beauty, who is up for Sexiest Female and Best Actress, arrived on the arm of her boyfriend, former the Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright.

When it came to the EastEnders cast, it appeared black for a popular shade for castmembers young and old.

Hollyoaks star Anna Shaffer, who plays Ruby Button, also opted for a similar shade in a silk number.

Strictly Come Dancing professional Ola Jordan looked pretty in pink in a strapless prom dress and silver high heels.
