Producers of the hit Channel 4 soap, Hollyoaks, have denied claims that a Take Me Out contestant has been given a guest role on the show.

Leigh Booth, whose date can be seen on Saturday nights ITV dating show, Take Me, claimed today that he had been approached after his first performance last week, the first of the new series, to star in a guest role on the award-winning show, according to the Sun newspaper, as a postman, which incidentally is his day job!

“Leigh was really disappointed when so few girls showed an interest in him. But it seems like his particular cloud has a silver lining.”

“His experience may not have been much of an ego boost but at least we managed to get him a job.”

However, today a spokesperson for the Liverpool based soap has denied that this job had anything to do with the week day teen drama.

Take Me Out can be seen Saturday evenings at 7.05pm on ITV1/ITV1 HD.
