Hollyoaks' actress Jessica Forrest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As the UK’s leading nationwide talent agency<\/a>, we welcome talent in all forms – from models and singers, to musicians and even soap actors.<\/p>\n

That’s why we were interested in what Hollyoaks’ Jessica Forrest, who plays sassy character Leanne Holiday, had to say about the life of a soap star. Read on to help decide whether this line of work would suit you\u2026
\n
\nHow would you describe the character you play?<\/strong>
\nFun, light-hearted, barmy!<\/p>\n

Are you anything like her in real life?<\/strong>
\nA little bit. Although, unlike Leanne I think before I speak.<\/p>\n

How long have you been in Hollyoaks?<\/strong>
\nJust over 2 years.<\/p>\n

What’s been your favourite scene to shoot in Hollyoaks?<\/strong>
\nLeanne and Lee’s wedding.<\/p>\n

And your worst?<\/strong>
\nAny in my underwear.<\/p>\n

What would be your ideal storyline for your character?<\/strong>
\nI think she should crack up and be sectioned.<\/p>\n

Who is the hottest cast member?<\/strong>
\nJeff Rawle, who played Silas.<\/p>\n

Have you ever given anyone a Hollyoaks calendar as a present?<\/strong>
\nI actually don’t think I have… that’s a good idea though!<\/p>\n

Do you ever use your job to jump queues for bars, clubs etc?<\/strong>
\nOnly when I’m drunk – sorry!<\/p>\n

Do you ever get sent any weird fan mail?<\/strong>
\nYeah, I like fan mail when people have drawn pictures.<\/p>\n

Who’s your best mate in the cast?<\/strong>
\nI’ve got a few! Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove (Texas), Anna Shaffer (Ruby), Andy Moss (Rhys) and PJ Brennan (Doug).<\/p>\n

Who’s the worst in the cast for inappropriate laughter?<\/strong>
\nI’m probably one!<\/p>\n

Who’s the worst for forgetting lines?<\/strong>
\nThat would be telling!<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about being in Hollyoaks?<\/strong>
\nEveryone’s young, fun and up for a laugh – suppose they’re all quite hot too!<\/p>\n

What’s the worst?<\/strong>
\nBeing recognised in places you don’t want to be – like when you’re hungover or shopping in Primark!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
