Hollyoaks reveals it wants This Morning’s Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to cameo in the soap, after we revealed how she wants to play a saucy teacher
The presenters could be about to try their hand at acting if they accept the Channel 4 soap's offer
HOLLY Willoughby and Phillip Schofield could be about to join Hollyoaks.
The This Morning presenters were offered parts in the Channel 4 soap on Tuesday's This Morning, after The Sun exclusively revealed that Holly loves the idea of playing a teacher who has an affair with a student.
Referring to our story, the show's soap queen Sharon Marshall told Holly: "I opened the papers this morning and they were saying you'd be quite up for playing a sexy teacher."
Holly - who said she had discussed the potential move with Sharon in the past - replied with a laugh: "Hang on, this was your story, your creation, totally your fault!"
Undeterred, Sharon said: "I texted the boss this morning and the news back from Hollyoaks is they would love you to come and play a role."
As Holly grinned with delight and said thank you, Sharon added to Phil: "And they want you as well, they have always wanted you to come and do it."
Holly added: "It's a pairing."
As Phil absorbed the news he added with a laugh: "I met the boss in the loos at the NTAs and he offered me a part."
The trio then dissolved into giggles before moving on with the TV segment.
The news comes after Holly told The Sun: "I’d love to do soaps.
“I did speak to This Morning’s soap expert the other day because she writes for Emmerdale and I said ‘what would you cast me in’ and she said she would cast me in Hollyoaks as the teacher who has an affair with one of her pupils.”
She added: “That would be a dramatic role – it would be great, I should do it.”
Alongside a potential soap career, Holly also admitted that once she has some more time on her hands she would like to go into documentary making.
The Celebrity Juice captain revealed: “Documentary-wise I would like to do something like that one day but I think it’s something you need to invest a lot of time in.
“At the moment time is not something I have tons of so eventually I think that would be a nice place to go.
“Hopefully This Morning doesn’t end any time soon but eventually once all that time is finished I can focus on things like that and do passion projects and focus on things you really like and travel a bit when the kids are older.”
