The 'EastEnders' actress accepted the Best Parternship gong for the on-screen couple - who play husband and wife Mick and Linda Carter on the soap - this week, but it appears she was celebrating a bit too much as it slipped her mind at the end of the night.

The two stars thanked fans for their votes in a video shared on Twitter, and Danny laughed: "We'd like to show you the award in our hands, but unfortunately she's forgot it.

"She was... how can I put it, she was battered last night. She was celebrating."

While Danny was telling the story, Kellie made sure to clarify that she definitely hasn't "lost" the trophy.

She added: "I wouldn't say lost, I'd say forgot."

Despite the awkward mishap with the physical award, the pair were still delighted to be recognised at the ceremony.

Kellie said they were both "genuinely chuffed", while Danny told their fans that they are very grateful for the support.

He said: "You're so lovely all of you and we never take it for granted."

Although it was a great night for the duo, it was 'Coronation Street' which was the big winner on Monday (22.10.18), as the UK's longest running soap took home an amazing eight prizes, including best Soap.

Besides Danny and Kellie's award, the only other category won by 'EastEnders' saw Shakil and Keegan's attack named Best Show-Stopper.
