As Hollyoaks gears up to celebrate its 30th anniversary this autumn, the long-running Channel 4 soap is marking the milestone in spectacular style — by inviting one lucky fan to join the show in a truly unforgettable way.

In a soap first, Hollyoaks has launched a nationwide competition offering a die-hard fan the chance to appear on screen — only to be killed off by none other than gardening-obsessed serial killer Jeremy Blake.

The exciting announcement was unveiled by series favourites Nadine Mulkerrin and Anna Passey, who play Cleo McQueen and Sienna Blake, in a special video shared across the show’s official social media channels. In the clip, fans were given a sneak peek at Jez’s chilling, crime-laden allotment — a hint of the twisted fate that awaits the winner.

To enter, hopefuls were asked to submit a short 30-second video pitch, explaining why they deserve the title of ultimate Hollyoaks super-fan. The submission form was available online for just seven days, making it a truly limited-time opportunity.
