HOLLYOAKS star Jessica Fox has revealed Anna Passey will be her bridesmaid – despite characters Nancy and Sienna’s feud on the soap.
Jessica said she and her on-screen rival “get on so well” while Anna said the pair are “excellent friends in the real world”.
Jess – who is engaged to long-term boyfriend Nicholas Willes – told Digital Spy: “I love Anna. We get on so well – I don’t think there is a day we don’t exchange a text, meme or song.
“She’s one of my bridesmaids! So when we actually get to work together we are just very naughty. We laugh a lot. I wish I could do more of it!”
Anna added: “We are excellent friends in the real world, so working together is a treat.”
One of Hollyoaks’ most infamous feuds saw Nancy and Sienna go head-to-head over Darren Osborne. Their rivalry came to a climax when Nancy almost drove off the side of a car park before going on to expose Sienna’s fake pregnancy.
Anna says it was one of her “favourite storylines”.
She said: “Jess is such a fantastic actress and it was so much fun playing the villain that broke up one of Hollyoaks‘ most iconic couples.”
Meanwhile, Jamie Lomas – who plays bad boy Warren Fox – has revealed the cast are set to work overtime and cancel holidays to get the soap back on air after its shutdown.
The actor is currently on a break from the E4 show after production came to a halt due to the coronavirus in March.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun Online, Jamie reassured viewers it will be “all hands on deck” to ensure the show is back on air once lockdown is over.
In fact, some cast members may even be asked to work weekends.
The 44-year-old said: “With everything that’s going on who knows what is going to happen because we’ve had to put filming on hold.
“It’ll be manic, I imagine, when we get back. But I’m sure they’ll have a plan. They know what they’re doing and I’m sure it’ll be all hands on deck.
“One thing about Hollyoaks is everybody works their backsides off. They’re really invested in the show. We’ll see what madness occurs.”
Jamie made his soap comeback earlier this year after disappearing with Sienna’s twins in 2017 shortly after she gave birth.
