The news comes as Hollyoaks bosses confirmed production on the E4 soap has been stopped amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Dear #Hollyoaks viewers. It is with a heavy heart that we have made the decision to pause filming of Hollyoaks,” they said on Twitter.

“From Monday 30th March, we will be reducing the number of our weekly new episodes from five down to three, which will air Monday to Wednesday. To make sure we stay on air every week night, fans can look forward to extra special episodes every Thursday and Friday on E4.

“We will remain as present as ever on our social platforms so please keep in touch with us here, stay safe and take care of yourselves. Thank you for your ongoing support.”
