HOLLYOAKS star Billy Price has gone Instagram official with his stunning new girlfriend after quitting the soap for a normal job.

The former actor cosied up to brunette beauty Pearl Beaney during a night out in Covent Garden, as seen in an end-of-year Instagram dump.

Billy shot to fame when he starred in Hollyoaks as Sid Summer in 2019.
Although his role on the show was originally meant to be a guest appearance, his character was promoted to a series regular.

Billy was involved in a drug dealing storyline with the troubled youngster having one of his legs amputated after being run over by Peri Lomax.
But nowadays the actor has set up his own business which specialises in socks and other clothing items.
Called Pasii, a pair of Billy's premium sock range will cost you £9.99 before shipping.
He also sells T-shirts, jumpers, tracksuits and even sports towels.
Before starring in Hollyoaks and becoming a businessman, Billy worked on a number of big projects.
He started his career when he was just a youngster, treading the boards in a series of theatre productions.
The talented star took on the role of a lost boy in Peter Pan, before landing a part in popular show To Kill A Mockingbird.
Billy had even eyed up another part in rival soap EastEnders.
He confessed: “I actually auditioned for EastEnders. I auditioned for Bobby Beale.
The actor added that he’d also been seen for the role of Hunter, as he continued: “I’ve been for so many EastEnders auditions! They’re so lovely over there.”
