THE nation’s top telly stars were all partied out after letting their hair down at a boozy Inside Soap Awards after-party.

A host of famous faces from EastEnders, Hollyoaks, Emmerdale and Coronation Street bundled out of the swanky venue in the capital into their waiting cars – with some looking more lively than others.

Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe risked taking a tumble as she got caught up on her exit from the Inside Soap Awards after-
Hollyoaks’ Jennifer Metcalfe, 41, led the way on the Red Carpet arrivals at London’s Salsa Temple and cut an equally glam figure as she left in her lace bralet and semi-sheer skirt.

Yet thankfully the Mercedes McQueen actress’ pal was on-hand to help as she tripped on the way to her car.

Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, 48, looked in high spirits as she flashed a huge smile in her car home.

She was joined by co-star and best pal Dominic Brunt, 54, who plays on-screen lover Paddy Kirk, and a handful of their other co-stars who looked just as cheery.

Emmerdale’s Daisy Campbell, 21, in contrast, looked ready for bed as she clambered into a vehicle – yet made sure to clutch her baby pink Inside Soap Awards goodie bag.

Meanwhile after Coronation Street proved to be the big winner this year – with the ITV soap scooping six trophies – Paul Foreman actor Peter Ash, 39, looked to be relishing in the celebrations.

He looked sleepy as he bundled into a car with his Best Actor award, following his stellar portrayal of Paul’s MND storyline.

Meanwhile, his co-star Daniel Brocklebank, 44, who played Paul’s husband Billy and with whom he won Best Partnership, was seen enjoying a final pint before heading home.

Their Weatherfield companion Maureen Lipman, 78 – who won Best Comic Performance – was all smiles despite getting into a tangle with her scarf as she sat in her vehicle.

EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, 45, made sure to change into a pair of comfy flats as she padded into her vehicle with her Soap Superstar award for playing Suki Panesar.

Her co-star Dianne Parish, 54, who plays Denise Fox, appeared bleary-eyed as she made her way home.

Kirsty-leigh Porter, 35 – who has been on Corrie, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks – enjoyed a cigarette outside while EastEnders’ Gillian Taylforth, 69, was quick to offer a host of goodbye kisses.
