Taking to her stories, Stacey Solomon told fans of the Channel 4 show: “So many are you messaging me saying, ‘Was that Zach and Leighton I saw in Hollyoaks?’ I know it’s so random but it was!

“It’s the funniest story. So when me and Zach went to the NTAs, we ended up meeting, on the red carpet, the exec of Hollyoaks and Zach is the biggest Hollyoaks fan. He’s obsessed.

“When he was little he used to get so excited for Sundays to watch the Hollyoaks Omnibus.

“And he was like, ‘Oh my God, I love Hollyoaks!’ and he was talking to her and she was like, ‘Why don’t you come down and see the set?’

“He was just over the moon and so excited. Zach wants to be a mechanic when he’s older, there’s no interest in acting.

“Neither Zach or Leighton want to do anything in that industry but he was just so excited to go and see the set.”

The singer added: “So the lovely lady from Hollyoaks invited them down and said, ‘If you want, you can be a little extra in a scene!’
