Hollyoaks airs unexpected cameo from Strictly Come Dancing star

Hollyoaks has joined forces with radio station Kiss for a very unexpected cameo in the Channel 4 soap. It was revealed on Monday that several hidden clues would be placed in Hollyoaks linked to Kiss as part of its Prize and Seek on-air competition to win a trip to Australia.

Breakfast hosts Tyler West and Chloe Burrows are in on the fun, both popping up in the show in the most unexpected places.

In Tuesday's episode, Chloe's voice could be heard when the radio was playing in a scene in Casa McQueen.

In Wednesday's episode, Tyler made a special cameo appearance being served drinks at the bar – miles away from his radio DJ job and that of hosting Strictly Come Dancing's Lights Up.

In an Instagram video, Tyler spoke about what it was like being on the Hollyoaks set and how welcoming the cast was.

"Walking onto this incredible set is another level," he recalled. "It takes your breath away and then you feel like you're on the TV screen immediately.

"Big T [Tony Hutchinson] serving me up drinks in a pub, that's up there. That's a bucket list moment ticked off.

"Everybody was so kind to me as well. I think it was one of the nicest casts I've ever met in my whole entire life.
