OHMYGOSSIP — Kiara Mellor has joined ‘Hollyoaks’ as Jorgie Porter’s on-screen daughter Kathleen-Angel.
The character will return to the Hollyoaks village in tonight’s (19.05.21) first-look E4 episode, when Nana McQueen (Diane Langton) picks Kathleen-Angel up from the airport and she reunites with her mum Theresa McQueen.
Jorgie said: “I just have the best fun with Kiara – she’s amazing. I’ve only done one scene with her so far but I really want to work with her more.
“Her attitude and her McQueen-ness is just spot on. I couldn’t have asked for a better little actress.”
But the 33-year-old star admitted the cast haven’t been able to work with some of their younger co-stars as much in the past 12 months due to the coronavirus pandemic.
She added to Digital Spy: “I love working with kids anyway, but because of COVID, we’re not allowed them on set that much.
“Working with kids is really fun because they just look up to you like you know everything!
“I’m like, ‘I don’t know anything, but I’m going to pretend that I do!’ ”
Jorgie announced in September that she was returning to the Channel 4 soap in October to coincide with the show’s 25th birthday.
She said at the time: “I was excited, but obviously a bit nervous. What if Theresa has gone out of my body and my mind?
“And the anticipation of coming back has taken so long because of lockdown, but coming back felt just like home and as if I haven’t even been away for five minutes.”
