Hollyoaks' Jamie Lomas utterly transformed in role worlds away from Warren Fox
Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas is taking on a new role away from bad boy Warren Fox – and he couldn't look more different!
The actor is playing notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper in new comedy movie Jackie the Stripper.
The film tells the story of Jackie and a group of female assassins as they plot to take on The Court – a secret organisation once led by Jack The Ripper.
Jamie isn't the only soap star to appear in the movie, with Emmerdale icon Patsy Kensit taking on the role of Carlita.
Also in the cast are Ocean's Eight's Charlotte Kirk, Harry Potter's James Phelps, Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, and model Katie Price.
Taking to Instagram, Jamie shared a shot in character, garnering plenty of reaction from his followers.
'Had a lot of fun playing this character,' he wrote alongside the picture, in which he was sporting an impressive moustache and classic Victorian attire.
Sister and Emmerdale star Charley Webb was a big fan, writing 'Love this', followed by a top hat emoji, while Hollyoaks co-star Jennifer Metcalfe simply wrote: 'Yessss.'
'Woah warren's changed lol,' one shocked fan added, while another wrote: 'Nice picture.'
Michael Head, writer and director of the film, shared his joy at working with the actor. More Trending
'You [were] great to work with and class act in the role. An honour to work with you mate,' he enthused.
Jamie left Hollyoaks last September when character Warren went on the run after after a showdown with Dave Chen-Williams (Dominic Power), who was revealed to be gangster Blue.
