Speaking of the prestigious award, voted by the viewers, Matt said: "I never expected to win and I am totally overwhelmed. Thanks so much to everyone who voted. It's been an amazing end to a brilliant time on Hollyoaks."
HOLLYOAKS Producer Bryan Kirkwood was also thrilled with Matt's win, he said: "It's Hollyoaks first ever National Television Award and a sign that Hollyoaks has come of age. Matt Littler is a thoroughly deserved winner of the award for Outstanding Serial Drama Performance and this shows how much Hollyoaks has worked its way into Britain's affections."
Matt left the show earlier this year after his character Max was killed on his wedding day. Matt also won 'Best On-Screen Partnership' with Darren Jeffries (OB), at this year's British Soap Awards.
