Hollyoaks to kill off FAN in huge competition for 30th anniversary
The Channel 4 soap is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a month of huge surprises later this year and a once in a lifetime chance for a soap super fan to join the cast.

Jez has become Hollyoaks' most prolific killer ever with his out of control antics being covered up by mum Martha.
And he's set to keep on killing - and take at least one other victim - the soap super fan.
The lucky winner will appear on set and meet the cast and crew behind the show and film their appearance later this year for airing in October.
Fans can apply through a form submission and a 30 second video in which they have the platform to tell the Hollyoaks team why they are the ultimate super-fan.
The first round of the competition will be open for just seven days.
The competition is now live, and fans can enter via the following link: channel4.com/hollyoakscompetition
The Channel 4 soap will celebrate its 30th anniversary this October with a huge month of celebrations as well as a trademark stunt.
Show boss Hannah Cheers told us: 'You can't do a Hollyoaks commemoration without some kind of spectacle. So there will be a stunt.'
And more than that Hannah also revealed a huge battle between two Hollyoaks titans will take centre stage for October.
Having recently returned from the dead to the village after 12 years, Clare Devine is back and she's set to clash against serial killer Jez Blake in the run up to the big anniversary.
'Well, yes, obviously we've got two kind of Hollyoaks titans here,' Hannah added.
'We've got kind of very iconic Hollyoaks faces. And it's not an accident that they are both in the show in the run up to the 30th anniversary.'

Celebrity SAS chaos as two stars quit during first episode of new series
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has turned to chaos as two stars quit during the very first episode of the new series, following a gruelling challenge Chaos erupted on the opening episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins as two contestants quit during the first episode of the new series. The Channel 4 military reality show returned Sunday night but the high-stakes challenge quickly proved too much for some. This year's lineup features 14 famous faces including Love Island stars Chloe Burrows, Tasha Ghouri and Adam Collard, X-Factor singer Lucy Spraggan and ex-drug mule Michaella McCollum, among others. The group was pushed to their limits by instructors Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver. From the outset, the recruits were plunged into high-pressure situations. One of the first challenges saw them hooded and lined up on a breakwater, where chief instructor Billy demanded their identities - while he snapped at several contestants warning them not to 'grin' at him. What followed were two intense tasks: a 26-foot plunge into the sea followed by a swim to an intercepting boat and a simulated hostage rescue mission in an abandoned compound, described as one of the most dangerous tests on the course. Pop star Hannah Spearritt, 44, best known for her time in S Club 7, was visibly distressed during the rescue mission. She approached the directing staff and handed in her number tag, saying: "I'm done, I'm sorry, I've reached a point." In a pre-recorded interview played after her exit, Spearritt admitted: "I didn't think I'd go on the first day… I wouldn't forgive myself." Spearritt wasn't the only celeb to give up during the first task, as Louis Spence, best known for his appearance on Pineapple Dance Studio also chose to withdraw. During the same hostage task, Spence prematurely threw a grenade into the building while two "hostages" were still inside. After the mission, he told the staff he wished to leave, despite being offered the chance to stay. Spence said: "I want to do an immediate withdrawal, I just don't have the conviction, and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough." He was told that he "hadn't even started", but Spence replied "that's what I mean." The episode also featured tense moments for other recruits. Former model Rebecca Loos was pulled in for interrogation after struggling in the water-based challenge. During the intense questioning, she was asked about her alleged affair with footballer David Beckham, whom she once worked for as a personal assistant. Before the first task, RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Bimini Bon Boulash claimed the experience would be "a piece of p**s" after growing up as a queer person in Norfolk. Later, ex-Watford striker Troy Deeney was questioned by directing staff after successfully completing the hostage task. In an emotional moment, he opened up about the physical abuse he and his mother suffered at the hands of his late father. Unlike other reality shows, Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins doesn't eliminate contestants through votes. Instead, participants either quit of their own accord or are removed by the directing staff. Those who endure to the end are declared the winners.

Celeb SAS thrown into chaos as two stars quit on very first episode
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has been thrown into chaos as two stars quit on the very first episode of the new series after a brutal challenge led by the instructors Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins descended into chaos tonight as two stars quit on the very first episode. The Channel 4 military competition returned to screens for its latest series on Sunday night, but things did not go entirely to plan. Fourteen celebrity recruits, including the likes of Love Island stars Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri, as well as X Factor legend Lucy Spraggan and footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa amongst a host of others were put through their paces by Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes, and Chris Oliver. One of the first phases saw the recruits turn up at an abandoned compound for a hostage rescue mission, described as the 'most dangerous' any of them can take on. Pop star Hannah Spearritt, 44, who shot to fame as part of S Club 7 before going on to an acting career with roles in shows such as Primeval and EastEnders, was seen struggling. And just moments later, it was confirmed that the Reach singer had become the first to leave the course as her co-stars speculated that she had suffered a panic attack. It comes after Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show. However, in a confessional aired seconds beforehand, Hannah said: "I am pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily but whether I get to the end or not...I don't think I'll go on the first day because I just wouldn't forgive myself." She went onto tell instructors: "Sorry - I'm done. Sorry. I've reached a point." And she wasn't the only star to fall at the first hurdle, as dancer Louie Spence also dramatically left the show as the tough scenes unfolded. "If there was a world war and they decided they were gonna call everyone up, would I be the first to jump up and say 'Yes me?' Being surrounded my thousands of soldiers, I might just jump at it. I'd be the home guard like on Dad's Army. We'll have a gay Dad's Army. "Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with the gays!" But, despite his confidence, just moments later, Chris Fox described the group's effort as "abysmal" after the latest task. He reminded the recruits to think about why they were there and suggested they take things "seriously". Louie piped up: "I wanna do an immediate withdrawal. I just don't have the conviction and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough," he said as he removed his armband. Chris gave him the chance to put his arm band back on, but Louie refused, so Chris said: "Get your kit." In a previously-filmed confessional, Louie, 56, had said: "I'm a survivor, I would keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course would be to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off," but just seconds later, it was confirmed that he had indeed quit the show." Prior to his swift exit, Louie had sung the praises of the directing staff on the programme, as he said: "I actually looked at them and thought, 'oh, my God', because what they do and what they've done is incredible. I could never do that for real. "Do you know what I mean? They are a different breed, like doctors and surgeons and things like that. So I did look at them in that sense and think that what they really did in their day job was incredible." And when asked for asked with what he struggled most with, he admitted: "Definitely the physical side of the course. "Even though I've struggled with my anxiety and depression, mentally I was in a really strong, good place. It wasn't about an individual which they made very clear at the beginning, it was about the group. I love being a group player, I love being with people. But in that scenario, in the reality of it when I was there, I didn't think I was capable of being a group player."

Watch the moment S Club's Hannah Spearritt quits on DAY ONE of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins
THIS is the moment S Club's Hannah Spearritt quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins on day one. Hannah, 44, is one of 14 famous faces taking part in the gruelling Channel 4 show. 5 5 They were thrown in at the deep end - quite literally - straight out the gates. For their first challenge, the celebrities had to jump from a height into the sea before swimming to a buoy in time to be picked up by a speedboat. The Challenge was brutal for all of them, and so when it came to doing the second mission in one day, Hannah didn't look in a good way. As the celebrities stood in line carrying their large backpacks, Hannah wavered, closing her eyes and sighing, having told her co-stars on the journey there that she "felt faint". The famous faces were ordered to move off, but Hannah hung back and told the SAS instructors that she was calling it quits. Pulling off her numbered black arm band, she struggled as she said: "Sorry, I'm done." The special forces officer exclaimed: "You're kidding me?!" but Hannah weakly shook her head and said: "Sorry...I've reached a point." As she was sent away, she was then seen in a piece to camera before embarking on the mission saying: "I am pretty determined. I don't think I give up easily. "But whether I'll get to the end or not? I mean...I don't think I'll go on the first day, I just wouldn't forgive myself." Sadly, that's exactly what happened, but she wasn't the only one, as Louie Spence also quit later in the show. Paul Cattermole's death changed everything… I don't know if I'll sing with S Club again, says Hannah Spearritt Hannah's exit was leaked ahead of the series starting this evening, with a source telling MailOnline Hannah "truly believed" a stint on the programme could "turn things around for her." They added: "But sadly she just couldn't hack it and walked on the first day. It was all rather embarrassing." The Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins line up also include Love Islander's Adam Collard, Tasha Ghouri and Chloe Burrows, Rebecca Loos and former footballer Troy Deeney. 5 5
