AN EX-HOLLYOAKS star has revealed what her life has really been like since she quit the show to become a journalist.
From people shouting her name in the street to being given career advice, the actress said she’s surprised by the interactions she has 10 years after leaving the show.
Cassie Powney played Mel Burton on the show alongside her twin sister Sophie Burton until her character died in 2006 because of the dog in the pond pub explosion.
Cassie says people randomly shout HOLLYOAKS in her face when she is out in public.
She told Cosmopolition: “I’ve come to the conclusion it’s just a nervous thing, but still haven’t worked out the best way to respond. If I knew what their job was perhaps I could just shout that back… NATWEST! BURGER KING!”
