Quiz to find Britain's No.1 Soa... you're ahead of us here.

Round One ("Last Man Standing") saw six contestants naming barmaids from the Rovers Return. In Round Two, three contestants faced 60 seconds of questions by their favourite soap star: Jennie McAlpine, Sid Owen or Malandra Burrows.

The final saw the three victorious contestants going head to head on the "Soapstar Superboard". Each contestant, against the clock, chose soapstars from the board to ask a question - the one with the most correct answers won.
