Hollyoaks fans can be murdered by iconic serial killer on screen in new competition
Die-hard Hollyoaks fans are in for a treat after being offered the chance to star in the series in jaw-dropping style. The Channel 4 soap, set in Chester, has amassed a legion of loyal fans, since it started in 1995 and now bosses want to say thank you.
To celebrate Hollyoaks ' 30th anniversary, one lucky fan will get the chance to join the soap and play the latest victim of serial killer, Jez Blake, who is fast becoming one of the programme's most vile villains.
Taking to TikTok, announcing the competition, Hollyoaks' Nadine Mulkerrin and Anna Passey, who play Cleo McQueen and Sienna Blake respectively, ask: "How much of a Hollyoaks superfan are you?"

They continue: "To celebrate Hollyoaks' 30th birthday, we are on the hunt for the ultimate Hollyoaks superfan. You will be invited to the village to film an exclusive scene but there is a killer twist.
"Your character will be killed off by Hollyoaks' most notorious serial killer."
Explaining how to enter, they conclude: "All you need to do is tell us why your Hollyoaks' biggest superfan and you might just be invited to the next stage of the competition."
Chief Content Officer at Channel 4, Ian Katz, also promoted the competition on LinkedIn, writing: "Later this year the show will celebrate its 30th birthday with a soap first. Fans of the show are being offered the chance to win a slice of TV immortality - by dying on screen for it. One viewer will be selected to become the latest victim of Jez, the latest in a long line of Hollyoaks serial killers."
Bloodthirsty Jez, played by Jeremy Sheffield, struck again last month, claiming the life of Ian, a social worker who he believed knew way too much.
The crazed killer, as viewers know, has thus far killed Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) and Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti) since rocking up in the village.
His murder spree, however, dates back decades, with the twisted gardener keeping track of all his victims' names in a notebook which he keeps close.
This week on Hollyoaks, it's Jez and John Paul's wedding day, but John Paul gets cold feet, while the walls continue to close in on the serial killer and his affair with Liberty.
At the start of the year, fans were convinced Jez was going to try and kill his groom, John Paul, with one taking to X saying: "Need people to stop saying Jez is going kill John Paul because I can not handle that actually.

Four in a Bed's narrator revealed after 10 years and his very famous wife
It turns out the iconic voice behind Channel 4's Four In A Bed is a rather famous face Four in a Bed is a staple on screens, but who is the narrator of the beloved Channel 4 series? The long-running show premiered way back in 2010, and sees B&B owners visit other's establishments and rate them in a bid to be crowned the 'best B&B'. On the programme, the competitive hoteliers are judged on an array of different things, including the room, cleanliness, food and even the hosts themselves. And at the end of the week, it's revealed how much all four B&B owners think their competition's offering is really worth. The prices are then revealed, usually with dramatic results, before a winner is announced. Since its debut 15 years ago, Four in a Bed has become a hit with viewers thanks to the tense and rather awkward fallouts that happen on-screen. But there is one person in particular who is likely to be integral to its success: the show's long-running narrator. The voice adding colour and detail to Four in a Bed is none other than Duncan Wisbey. The actor and voice artist took on the role of the show's narrator in 2015 and has been at the helm since. Before him, the show was narrated by Mike Adams from 2010 to 2015. Duncan himself has been in the business for years, and has appeared on several CBeebies shows and also BBC soap EastEnders, playing a Celebrant in 2015. He's starred in a Hollywood film too, called Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines, the fifth instalment in the horror franchise. And in 2022, he played Martin on the Netflix comedy Hard Cell, created by and starring Catherine Tate. Away from the TV shows, Duncan is married to actress Rae Baker, and the couple are parents to one child, Hattie born in 2011. Rae is best known for playing Detective Constable Juliet Becker in the long-running ITV drama The Bill. After Rae's exit from The Bill, she went on to appear on BBC's soap Doctors, playing Caroline Garvey. She's also had stints on kids spy drama M.I High and Father Brown.

Inside Noel Gallagher's and Meg Mathews' 'Supernova Heights' home with leopard print and retro decor
The former couple once shared a stunning home in London which was branded 'Supernova Heights' due to the iconic parties held there. 'Supernova Heights' was the nickname given to Noel Gallagher and Meg Mathews' plush London pad they shared together in the 90s which was known for having iconic A-lister parties. The swanky abode was filled with sixties retro furniture, bespoke leather beds, seventies-style toilets, psychedelic patterned carpets and one huge fish tank. The address also housed many a famous face, including Kate Moss. Speaking about his time in Supernova Heights, Noel told the Belfast Telegraph that he sold the plush pad when he gave up drugs, he said: "Yes, is the short answer to that. I had the house for two and a half years and it felt like I lived in there for a lifetime, for a decade." He was then asked if anyone could just turn up to the mansion, and Noel said: "Not anyone. But to be honest, though, on more than one occasion, you'd look around the room and I'd say to somebody; 'Who the f**k is that guy there?' 'Oh, he delivered the pizzas here about four or five hours ago'. It was great. Steve Coogan was my answering machine message." In 1997, Noel revealed how he tormented a group of unsuspecting fangirls who turned up wanting supermodel Kate Moss' autograph. "Kate Moss'd be staying here for a couple of weeks and I've got loads of shopping, so I'm trying to open the gate and there was these four girls, they've got these books and they're going, 'Can you get me Kate's autograph'?" he told radio host Sean Rowley. 'You're coming round 'ere, to my 'ouse, asking for supermodel' autographs? You taking the piss, or what? Do you not want mine? Well, I'll tell you what, you're not going until you have mine. You're having my autograph now!' "Supernova Heights was great for the time but then there came a point when I thought, 'I need to get out of this'." "I can look back on it and say it was a good time, but I made some fundamental mistakes in my life," he told the Guardian. Noel then sold the home to Hollyoaks actress Davinia Taylor and her then-partner Dave Gardner and then it was sold again in 2005 to David Walliams. Let's take a look inside the £8million Primrose Hill party pad Noel and Meg shared back in Britpop's heyday...

Naked Attraction host Anna Richardson sinks claws into 'deeply unethical' Love Island - insisting she 'refuses to watch it in on a point of principle'
Naked Attraction host Anna Richardson has sunk her claws into the 'deeply unethical' ITV2 show Love Island - and has insisted that she 'refuses to watch it in on a point of principle'. The twelfth series of the programme returned to our screens last month and viewers have enjoyed the drama that has come along with it. Love Island, currently hosted by Maya Jama, 30, has become a huge fan favourite since it hit our screens in 2015, and has managed to get 1.4m views across all their platforms for this year's launch. But another popular, but very different show is Naked Attraction - and host Anna thinks that people love the Channel 4 programe so much because it's 'funny' and there are plenty of different bodies on display. While she thinks that Love Island doesn't have as much diversity when it comes to the representation of bodies. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Anna said: 'You're seeing a range of bodies, it makes you feel comfortable about your own [Naked Attraction]. 'And I personally have never, ever watched Love Island, so I kind of refuse, on point of principle, because I think that Love Island is a deeply unethical show. 'So what you're doing is you're showing youth and beauty and rivalry as a betrayal, as some kind of standard that we should be held up to, whereas N aked Attraction does the exact opposite. 'So yeah, I think it's about, I think it's a gloriously bonkers show about acceptance.' She added: 'When you scratch beneath the surface of negative attraction, it's actually about acceptance. 'It is about the fact that nobody's body is perfect. This is about vulnerability. It's about acceptance. 'It's about seeing you for who you really are in all your human glory, and people actually saying, do you know what? 'Whether I've got a stoma, or I have a disability, I've got one leg, or I'm in a wheelchair, whatever happens to be, or I'm a trans person on my journey, all of us deserve to be loved and accepted for who we are.' The programme hit our screens in 2016 and went on to air 65 episodes across seven series. More and more shows are now focusing on sex, with the likes of people losing their virginity on Virgin Island, and couples opening up their relationships on Open House: The Great Sex Experiment. Anna thinks that Naked Attraction has paved the way for those kind of programmes to exist. 'Everybody had a breakdown when Naked Attraction was announced, she told us. 'And, you know, the press went absolutely crazy... "This is a new low for, you know, new low and moral standards on British television". 'And of course, we were trailblazers, so now we've paved the way to things being more open and talked about and accepting. 'I've watched both Open House and Virgin Island, and I think they're both incredible formats. 'In terms of Open House, what they're doing, very cleverly there is just merely reflecting the fact that polyamory is on the rise, people are sexually open and curious. 'And Virgin Island? I think that's an extraordinary idea, that there are sex therapists out there that ultimately are prepared to have sex with people who have psychological issues around their virginity. 'Again, what you're dealing with here is issues of being vulnerable and people being human. Yeah, so I think they're both fantastic formats.' Many are desperate to know if the show will ever make a return, and Anna is hoping that it does happen in the future. 'I am desperate for it to come back,' Anna told us. 'I want a male campaign that basically says "Bring back Naked Attraction." 'It is wildly popular. People absolutely love it. It is funny. 'It's about acceptance. And I think at the moment, in a world where we're all actually a bit p***ed off and we feel ground down in this country, you know, there's a huge amount of division and anger.' She added: 'So the fact is, the truth is, I have no idea whether it's coming back. 'I really hope so, because it's a fun show to do, and it does very well, but I have no idea about about the politics of whether it is or not, but let's keep our fingers crossed.' The telly star has helped people try and find a suitable partner by stripping down and baring all on Naked Attraction, but there appears to be a more popular way of meeting people these days - and it includes being in a hotter climate. Anna has joined forces with iD Mobile, who have recently found out that more Brits than ever are dating abroad. She told us: 'The [dating] landscape in the UK is becoming more diminished, and people are going abroad, and off the back of that, they are then offering inclusive Data Roaming to 50 different countries that people can find love worldwide, basically with ease, without landing a huge bill at the end of it. 'But the the survey results are very, very interesting, just just given the fact that we know that 45% of people say that their best romantic experience happened abroad. 'Most of us have had a holiday romance. 'We know that around a third of people use dating apps when they go abroad to hook up with locals, but also because they're saying that actually, they get a more authentic experience of the town or the city that they're in if they use a language app or dating app.' Anna Richardson has partnered with iD Mobile to explore the rise in overseas dating and highlight how roaming charges are preventing millions of Brits from making meaningful connections abroad. With inclusive Roaming in more destinations than any UK network, iD Mobile is helping holidaymakers stay connected for love, fun and everything in between. Visit for more information.
