Digital Spy was on the red carpet at the Inside Soap Awards 2011 last night and we asked stars from EastEnders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks to name the greatest character in soap history.

EastEnders' Dot Branning and Coronation Street's Jack Duckworth were popular choices on the night, but check out our video below to see who picked a classic Emmerdale villain, who used to have a crush on Jack Ryder's character Jamie Mitchell and who paid tribute to Hollyoaks' longest-serving cast member Nick Pickard.

Watch the stars offer their verdicts on the greatest ever soap character below:
