Hollyoaks star Malique Thompson-Dwyer was ‘rusty’ after I’m A Celeb break

OHMYGOSSIP — Malique Thompson-Dwyer felt “rusty” when he got back on set after a break from ‘Hollyoaks’.
The 21-year-old actor spent some time away from the Channel 4 last year as he jetted to the jungle for ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’, and he admitted it was difficult to immediately “settle” back into his day job.
Speaking to Inside Soap, he said: “When I first came back on set, I was a bit rusty with my acting! I don’t know why, but when I returned for my first scene, I felt as if I’d been out of work for ages. I’ve settled in again now, though.”
Despite not being able to slip right back into the groove on set, Malique – who is still in touch with former camp mates like Harry Redknapp and Emily Atack – insisted it was an amazing experience worth taking a break for.
He added: “The whole experience was so good. There were ups and downs, and most of the time I was just really hungry! It’s one of those amazing opportunities that you rarely come across.”
While the actor himself has had a nice time away from the show, his character Prince McQueen fleed down south after finding out his wife Lily – played by Lauren McQueen – wanting to leave him.
He heads back to the village without realising she has been rekindling her romance with his best friend Romeo Quinn (Owen Warner) behind his back, and while Prince won’t react well when he discovers the affair, Malique thinks he is “better” for her.
He said: “Prince is better for Lily. I mean, Romeo and Lily have a lot in comon and they’re both really clever, but Prince is the one who makes Lily Happy.
“He’s just such a charmer! All Prince cares about now is getting Lily back, and get one over on Romeo.”
