Hollyoaks actor Chris Fountain, has ruled out any off screen romances between himself and any of his Hollyoaks colleagues.
Although he admits that some of the cast do date, the star who is currently competing in ITV’s Dancing On Ice has said that it just wouldn’t work for him.
Speaking to The Sun Chris said:
“Er, a couple of the cast are having proper relationships, but it’s not the big orgy everyone expects it to be.
“I’ve had a couple of kisses with people whose names I won’t mention, but I don’t think (an off screen romance) would work for me personally.
“If you had an argument, it’d be awkward.”

Jake Dean sinks to new levels of sickness next month, as he attempts to rape Nancy, just hours after they are married.
After the wedding the pair go back to their flat. Jake finally flips, and launhces a sex attack against Nancy in the kitchen. She is only saved by a surprise visit from Jakes sister, Steph.
A show insider told The Daily Star: “These scenes were pretty horrible to film.
“Jessica and Kevin are really good mates, which makes it easier, but they were both left feeling pretty drained afterwards.
“This devastating twist in the tale will show fans just how low Jake has sunk.
“Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life but that couldn’t be further from the truth for poor Nancy, who is left feeling completely violated.”
Jake Dean has undergone a real soap makeover during this last few months. He has turned from a sap who would look after another man’s child and yearn for his dead ex-girlfriend, to a psycho who imprisons and now almost rapes his new wife. It’s just lucky that people don’t usually change their personalities that quickly in real life or we would all be in trouble.

Hollyoaks actress, Zoe Lister, who plays Zoe Carpenter in the Channel 4 soap has said that she believes ITV soap Coronation Street needs serious spicing up!
“Hollyoaks is easily the sauciest. I love it. Emmerdale isn’t too bad. They have sexed it up recently,” Zoe told the Daily Star.
“But Corrie needs some work. It needs some lesbian action. I reckon Samia Smith as Maria and Tina O’Brien as Sarah would have made a great gay couple.”
“I’d definitely do a lesbian love scene in Hollyoaks,” she added. “That would be a really good story.”
