Hollyoaks bosses have announced that rapper Lethal Bizzle will feature in the soap's E4 spinoff Hollyoaks Later.

The musician will be performing on the late night show's upcoming fifth series, which airs in the autumn.

On Tuesday, July 31, Lethal will perform a special VIP gig in Liverpool which is to be filmed for the programme.

Hollyoaks fans are also being invited to watch his performance and feature in the series themselves.

Show chiefs have confirmed that the filming will feature Hollyoaks sixth formers Jono (Dylan Llewellyn), Neil (Tosin Cole) and Bart (Jonny Clarke).

Lethal Bizzle's appearance comes after hip-hop star Wretch 32 and singer-songwriter Maverick Sabre both recently featured in the main 6.30pm show.

Hollyoaks Later was officially recommissioned for another series in May. As well as the sixth form boys, this year's series will feature Brendan Brady (Emmett Scanlan), Walker (Neil Newbon) and Mitzeee (Rachel Shenton).

Full details of how to apply for tickets to the Lethal Bizzle gig can be found on the Hollyoaks website.

Hollyoaks star Carli Norris has admitted that she sometimes finds it difficult to have sympathy for her troubled character Martha Kane.

Martha, who was introduced to screens in January, has an alcohol problem which has often adversely affected the lives of her children Ash, Callum and Lacey.

Speaking on Channel 5's The Wright Stuff today (July 26), Norris explained that she has been researching the storyline during filming with help from Hollyoaks bosses.

Norris commented: "I did as much [research] as I could. Fortunately for me, I haven't had that kind of lifestyle - I'm not a big boozer myself, and it wasn't a big thing in my family.

"But I was really lucky, while we were filming, to come into contact with somebody who was a teenager with a mother who had a serious alcohol problem. He shared some stories with me, and nobody should have to go through that, particularly at that age. And unfortunately she did pass away and left the family in devastation.

"I'm trying to have sympathy for the character as much as I can, and then I suddenly get another script and I'm like, 'Oh my God, what have I done now?'"

The actress also joked that life can be tricky as one of Hollyoaks' older cast members.

She said: "I feel like a granny! I thought I was quite young and funky, and I got there and in all the production offices there's a list of all the characters and their names. There's under-18s, over-25s, and there's an over-40s one!"

Oh dear Phoebe. I like the Rhys and Cindy scenes.

Will is spiralling out of control big time.

Brendan and Walker scenes are interesting as usual.

Omg! The way Brendan was staring at Walker lips! Aaaaaaaah! I love them! :amazed:

I am liking the Kane family. I hope Martha's storyline is a long term one and not one of those that finish quickly.

That was rude of Jacqui not thanking Cindy for finding Phoebe.

:nono:
Brendan needs to get back with Ste

Maybe Brendan can use Walker to make Ste jealous? :joker:

I much prefer Brendan/Walker to Stug.

Me too! Brendan and Walker would make the best couple ever! :dance:

Stug>>>
Doug is one of my favourite characters.

Good to see Tony and Cindy back on screen. I hope they get some storyline soon and that Hollyoaks use the older characters more.
