The British Soap Award for Best Leading Performer is an award presented annually by The British Soap Awards. The award was introduced to the ceremony in 2022, succeeding the categories for Best Actress and Best Actor as a gender neutral replacement.[1] Alongside accolades including Best British Soap and Villain of the Year, the award is voted for by the public. An initial longlist is announced, and after an initial round of voting, the performers with the highest number of votes advance to the shortlist, after which voting is opened for a second time.[2] The award is currently held by EastEnders actress Lacey Turner.
