Hollyoaks stunner Jennifer Metcalfe has revealed that she would love to play a prostitute or a drug addict in the future.

Jennifer plays the role of glamourous Mercedes McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, and says that she would relish the chance to play someone a bit more rough.

Jennifer told The Sun:

“Getting up and going into make-up everyday, being in there for an hour-and-a-half ain’t fun at all,” she said.

“My ideal role would be like a prostitute or a smack-head or something so I could go in looking so rough

“Everyone thinks it’s amazing getting your hair and make-up done everyday but it’s awful. I suffer from quite bad skin sometimes and if it nakes it worse when you are caked in make-up all day.”

She continued: “I’d like to play a character that doesn’t have to get her body out all the time so if you’re having a fat day like all women do then you don’t have to get your flesh out.

“Some of the clothes Mercedes wears are hilarious. If I’m having a fat day, I’m like I don’t feel comfortable in this today – but if I’ve already been filmed wearing it then for continuity I just have to grin it and bear it.

“When that happens I just wear a dressing gown permanently when I’m there so I’m covered from head to toe and I don’t feel uncomfortable and when I have my dinner I can let it all out.”
