It was Michelle Keegan's sixth consecutive nomination for Sexiest Female at the 16th annual British Soap Awards. The Mancunian beauty, who plays Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street, beat the likes of Jennifer Metcalfe, Jorgie Porter and Georgia May Foote to win the prize one last time before she exits the soap in a dramatic storyline.
The 26-year-old was obviously surprised despite her previous wins, and told the crowd that she doesn't understand why she has won the cheeky award so many times. "
I don't know how I blagged this award again," she joked, before adding, "it's baffling!"
Michelle's time on the northern soap will come to an end when Tina is pushed to her death, by as of yet unknown killer.

After spending six years on the show, it was obvious that the brunette beauty wanted to take a moment to thank the cast and crew for their help over the years.
"I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone at Coronation Street [...] all the cast, all the crew." she shared.
"All my years at Coronation Street have been amazing, so thank you so much. I'm going to miss them so much."
Michelle also made an emotional thank you to her family, which included her fiancé and former The Only Way Is Essex Star, Mark Wright.
Speaking to him from the stage, she said: "I'd like to say thank you to my fiancé Mark. Thank you for your support and I hope I continue to make you proud."
It looks like Michelle doesn't have to worry, Mark was practically bursting with pride! The Essex born hunk even took to his Twitter account to share his joy at Michelle's win with his followers.
