Taking to Semi-Final 1 were Eastenders' Ben Mitchell and Neighbours' Mike Young. Coming into the Semi-Final as the only British contender and Eastenders character, all eyes were on the face-off, waiting to see who would triumph and go into Monday's Grand Final.

Similarly, Neighbours favourites Susan Kennedy and Toadie Rebecchi took to Semi-Final 2 in what was a hard decision for any devoted Australian soap fan.

And now, the winners of the Semis have been revealed, with Ben Mitchell and Susan Kennedy going straight into the final round. But who will be crowned Soap Champion? It's still all to play for and is down to you to vote.

It's been a week of unguessable action, with some of the surefire favourites losing out and not making it to these final stages.
