They’re TV royalty on our screens almost every night of the week, celebrated for their memorable portrayals and relatable characters. But even when the cameras are off we can’t get enough of them, following what they get up to in real life.
And when things go Horribly Wrong, the soap star bubble can dramatically burst. We’ve got the biggest stories, featuring the biggest stars from our best-loved soaps, with many on the show to give us their lowdown.
There will be less-than-perfect moments from the likes of Coronation Street’s Marc Bannerman, Katie Jarvis, Jack P Shepherd, and the nation’s sweetheart Martine McCutcheon. Plus, some never-seen-before bloopers from the soaps including Neighbours and Home & Away.
We have an exclusive with Bruce Jones who opens up about how he struggled to find work after being typecast as Les Battersby in Coronation Street. Hollyoaks’ Kieron Richardson talks about how a slip-of-the-tongue regarding a plot twist on the soap left fans open-mouthed. And former soap star Jason Hain talks about how he found fast-fame in Emmerdale through TV reality show Soap Stars only to see it taken away months later.
Plus, EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney proves he’s far from Well ‘Ard when he takes part in an I’m A Celebrity Bush Tucker Trial live to the nation and Coronation Street’s Vicky Entwhistle takes a nasty tumble on Celebrity Stars in their Eyes! Other highlights include the much-publicised firing of veteran actress Donna Reed from her role as Miss Ellie in Dallas and Desperate Housewives’ Felicity Huffman’s recent fall from grace over an exam-fixing scandal which rocked her career.
Contributors include Michelle Collins, Patsy Kensit, Scott Wright and veteran soap producer Mal Young.
