Michelle Keegan wins TV Choice award as Best Actress

The TV Choice awards were awarded tonight and Michelle Keegan who plays Tina McIntyre on Corrie won Best Actress. She was overwhelmed at winner and, according to TV Choice's tweet, she said she didn't think she'd win and hadn't prepared a speech!

Unfortunately, Coronation Street lost out to Eastenders for the Best Soap award and Natalie Gumede was robbed of the Best Newcomer award. (Ok, admittedly, we're not objective here at Blog Towers where Natalie is a favourite!)

Here's a photo of Michelle on the red carpet and you can see other photos from the procession here.

Congratulations go out to Michelle from us all!

There's a full list of winners at the bottom of this page.
