TV fans might recognise Zoe Lister from her time spent on the much loved soap Hollyoaks but she's also the voice of the famous advert.
Who is Zoe Lister?
Zoe, 43, is an English actress and writer who played Zoe Carpenter In Hollyoaks from 2006 to 2010, with a brief return in April 2017.
She also served as a writer on the show from 2014 to 2024, penning 56 episodes.
As an actress, Zoe has appeared in shows such as Midsomer Murders, Crime Stories and Staff Room.
And as a writer, she has contributed scripts to shows such as The Worst Witch, The Dumping Ground and Zero Chill.
Zoe also appeared as a guest on Big Brother's Little Brother and also presented at T4 On The Beach.
She also toured the UK in the comedy play Teechers and she played Lady Macbeth at the Liverpool Royal Court for which she received critical acclaim.
The Jet2 advert
Zoe is also a voice over artist and has revealed on TikTok that she is the voice behind the "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" campaign.
She explained in the video post that it isn't art, she just basically sits in a chair and records the words that somebody else has written.
Fans flocked to comment on the revelation and one said: "I just hear your voice now and two old blokes fighting over a sun bed!"

Another added: "Honestly thought it was Holly Willoughby 's voice!"
"Omg wasn't she is hollyoaks?!!" exclaimed another poster.
While a fourth added: "Mind blown never knew it was Zoe from Hollyoaks!"
Why has the advert gone viral?
The jingle has been used as the audio sound to use on holiday videos, often when things go wrong, on TikTok.
And it has gone viral all over UK TikTok, with over 100M views and 36,000 posts.
The audio also features Jess Glynne's hit song 'Hold My Hand'.
This catchphrase and Zoe's narration are often associated with dangerous travel mishaps and weird holiday experiences.
There has been a video post of a camel attacking a person while the Nothing Beats a Jet2 Holiday meme audio plays in the background.
There have also been memes of people fighting on a plane or people throwing towels off a sun lounger into a swimming pool.
TikToker's have also been dramatically lip syncing along to the advert when things go wrong in everyday life.
Most of these incidents don't appear to have taken place on Jet2 holidays, and there's no allegations of wrongdoing on Jet2's part.
Meanwhile, Jet2 will launch exclusive new flights from the UK to two affordable Spanish cities.
And passengers flying with TUI, easyJet, Ryanair or Jet2 this summer are being urged to check the full list of banned food and drinks before heading to the airport.
Plus, she has made history as the British female solo artist with the most UK No1s – an impressive total of seven.
But even that hasn't been enough to save Jess Glynne's record deal, as she has split from her label after just one album.

Set to air over 12 episodes, the brand new competition series sees the contestants sent to a grand countryside manner. Left behind and for them to inherit is a vast fortune by the deceased who previously lived at the mansion. Liz, 60, portrays the fictitious deceased benefactor - with Rob Rinder appearing as the executor of her will. Appearing in the form of video messages for the players from beyond the grave, they must compete in a series of challenges to unlock money from the will. It comes from the same team behind smash-hit The Traitors and Squid Game: The Challenge. Speaking about the new series, Steve Handley, C4's Head of Reality & Entertainment, said previously: 'The Inheritance isn't just a battle of strategy, alliances, and inevitable betrayals - it's a cocktail of drama, jeopardy, and outright mischief that Reality fans love. "I can't wait to see how our players handle the challenges, the twists, and a few sneaky surprises.' Earlier this year, Liz and Billy Ray went public with a loved-up picture in a field. Wearing festive bunny ears, Billy went in for a kiss on Liz's smiling mouth.

We revealed they reconnected last year when Billy turned to Liz for help as his third marriage crumbled. An insider said: "Everyone is saying Billy and Liz are world's apart, but actually they are very similar. 'They have a lot in common and have the same interests. 'Billy is also very much her type - he has a real twinkle in his eye and a naughty streak that she can't resist." The new romance came 12 years after she and ex-fiance Shane split in 2013. 'He really reminds her of Shane Warne, they have a very similar energy about them," they continued. 'Liz has a really good time with Billy they share a lot of laughs and he is a real flirt, which she loves. 'Shane was the love of her life and it has taken her years to be able to move on but she finally feels like she is able to. 'Billy isn't perfect and neither was Shane but Liz truly believes they have a strong future together. 'She is nearly 60 and deep down does want to share her life with someone and settle down. 'Everyone is saying he could be the one, so don't be surprised if she marries again.'

Hollyoaks star speaks out over sudden exit and says it's a 'massive shame'
Hollyoaks viewers were in for a surprise today as the latest episode confirmed that Robbie Roscoe had been killed by Jez Blake weeks ago despite appearing to be alive since then A Hollyoaks star has opened up about their unexpected departure from the soap opera. Viewers have been left stunned this week after it was revealed that a character had been killed off without fans realising until now. Charlie Wernham, 30, made his first appearance as Robbie Roscoe on the Channel 4 show in 2013, before leaving in 2016. He returned last year and his character has now been killed off more than a decade since his debut on the soap. Earlier this year, Robbie had taken prisoner by Jez Blake (played by Jeremy Sheffield), who decided to set him free from a shed in tonight's episode. Robbie then walked through the village but couldn't be seen by others, with it then revealed that he had been a figment of Jez's imagination after he had murdered him weeks ago. Viewers have shared their surprise over the storyline and now Charlie has spoken about his departure. He told the Sun: "It's a massive shame to say goodbye to the character and not going to be able to play him anymore but to be fair, I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to play him again." The actor said that he's "very happy" that the opportunity to return presented itself. He added that he's "quite satisfied" following the "quite interesting ending," though admitted that it is "always sad" to finish a job like working on Hollyoaks. Charlie hinted that his character could return in the future, though he told the outlet that Robbie is "gone" for now. He said that his exit storyline feels "special" but said it's a "shame" to miss the show's 30th anniversary in October. Looking back on finding out about the storyline, he told Digital Spy: "Everyone was cautious, because I don't remember this ever being done before. I was excited, though, because it's something that I'd never done – and Robbie's done everything there is to do! If you're going to die on the show, it's quite an interesting way of doing it – and I'm all for doing different things." Although it feels like "the final chapter" for his character, Charlie told the outlet that other characters have "died and come back". He teased that "anything can happen," though suggested he wouldn't consider returning any time soon. Viewers discovered that Robbie had been killed by Jez in today's episode. He'd been imprisoned by the serial killer after previously being held captive by Grace Black (Tamara Wall). Jez was thought to have been hiding him in a shed. The latest episode showed Jez telling Robbie that they both deserved to get a "happy ending" with their respective partners, so he had decided to let him go. Freed, Robbie then ran to his fiancée Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence). However, Vicky didn't respond to Robbie, who tried speaking to her, and instead walked through him. It was then revealed in a flashback that Jez had killed him weeks ago but had continued to see 'Robbie' as a vision since then. Hollyoaks airs Monday to Wednesday on E4 at 7pm and first look episodes can be streamed from 7am.

Paddy McGuinness can't flog £6.5m mansion he shares with ‘unhappy' ex wife Christine who wants to move out
TELLY star Paddy McGuinness and his ex-wife Christine are struggling to flog the £6.5million home they share. The comic, 51 — known for catchphrase 'No likey, no lighty!' on dating show Take Me Out — has had 'very little interest' in the mansion. 2 He and Christine, 37, still live in the seven-bedroom Cheshire spread — now on the market for 4½ months — with their twins Leo and Penelope, 12, and eight-year-old daughter Felicity. It featured on their 2021 BBC show Paddy And Christine McGuinness: Our Family And Autism. Despite remaining in the house together to co- parent, Christine is reportedly unhappy with the current living situation and wants to move out. She and Paddy paid £2.1million for the home in 2020 and it has a gym, his and hers dressing-rooms, an orangery and planning permission for a rear extension and roof terrace. They stand to make a big profit but sources say it's quite a pricey house even for posh Prestbury in east Cheshire. One said: 'It's a lovely house with all mod cons in a fantastic location but there's been very little interest. 'It's the most expensive house in Prestbury on Rightmove but it appears the market's a bit flat right now.' Paddy and Christine announced their split in 2022 and finalised their divorce last year. Christine has said: 'We live in separate parts of the house.' Paddy said the family's living arrangement 'doesn't feel tricky'.
