Hollyoaks Does Come Dine With Me / E4
E4 is to air a special week of Come Dine With Me episodes to mark Hollyoaks‘ 30th anniversary next month.
The soap reaches its landmark birthday in late October and a number of special events have been planned for the occasion, including shock character comebacks, a Brookside crossover and the return of Hollyoaks Later.
Hollyoaks Come Dine With Me will also be back, having previously aired in 2015 and 2020 for the 20th and 25th anniversary respectively.
Taking on the competition this year are Nicole Barber Lane (Myra McQueen), Anya Lawrence (Vicky Grant), James Redmond (Rory ‘Finn’ Finnigan), Isabelle Smith (Frankie Osborne) and Charlie Wernham (Robbie Roscoe).
C4 commissioning executive Barry Agnew said: “With Come Dine With Me celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, we think it’s perfect for these two giants of Channel 4 history to team up once again for an extra special treat to mark the much-loved Hollyoaks on its 30th birthday. A silver and pearl celebration!”
Hollyoaks exec producer Hannah Cheers added: “We at Hollyoaks are delighted E4 will be extending the party for our big birthday with this Come Dine With Me special.
“Airing alongside the explosive anniversary episodes, we’ll see Hollyoaks faces representing every era of our show cooking up a treat. There are more exciting surprises up our sleeves.”
Hollyoaks turns 30 on Thursday, October 23.
