Alison Hammond makes ‘exciting’ visit to Hollyoaks set

Alison Hammond felt "like a star" when she appeared on the ‘Hollyoaks’ set on Monday (25.03.19).
The ‘This Morning’ roving reporter was "very excited" to visit the fictional village – which is based in Liverpool, but set in Chester – and appeared to hint she could be making a cameo on the Channel 4 soap soon.
Speaking on Hollyoaks’ Instagram Story, she said: "I’m on ‘Hollyoaks’. This is so very exciting. I feel like a star!"
Alison appeared on set alongside Niamh Blackshaw (Juliet Quinn), Jacob Roberts (Damon Kinsella) and Nikki Sanderson (Maxine Minniver).
And she was delighted to be clutching a fictional £5,000 cheque mysteriously addressed to Maxine.
She added: "I’ve got a cheque for £5,000, which you can’t win."
One message on Hollyoaks’ Instagram Story also hinted Alison may have landed a cameo in the soap, as the comment "new cast member??" was written alongside a clip of her filming a piece to camera.
Jacob took Alison on a tour of Price Slice, but she was left "disappointed" to discover the fictional eatery was full of fake food.
He said: "We’ve got some Heck sausages here. There’s nothing in it, it’s false food."
Alison added: "There’s nothing in it? It’s fake? That’s so disappointing."
‘Hollyoaks’ declined to comment further on Alison’s potential cameo, but fellow ITV stars Linda Robson and Janet Street-Porter, who are regular panellists on ‘Loose Women’, made a joint ‘Oaks’ cameo in November.
The pair were among the guests at Russ Owen (Stuart Manning) and Mercedes McQueen’s (Jennifer Metcalfe) wedding.
Linda said: "We were wedding guests at ‘Hollyoaks’. It was very explosive. I can’t reveal anything else."
Janet added: "We do make an impact. We’re featured."
And Janet certainly did make an impact on set.
When asked by Linda what she ate at the pub on her lunch break, she said: "I just had chips."
Linda asked: "Oh yeah, what did it give you?"
Janet replied: "Wind."
