Speaking about joining the cast of the Channel 4 soap, Curtis explained: “I’ve felt so welcome at Hollyoaks, the cast and crew feel like a real family. My first day was so exciting and I’m ready for the fans of the show to see the new Lucas."

He added: "You can definitely expect drama, emotions, and everything in between.”
