Darcy Isa cast as Cleo McQueen:

Darcy Isa who was best known for her role as Lauren Andrews has joined the cast of Hollyoaks set to play Cleo McQueen. Cleo who is the younger sister of Celine and Porsche will make her first appearance at the start of next month ready to make her mark on the village. Cleo has been described as 'Loud, brassy and arrogant she thinks she's way above her years when really she's just a mouthy little girl with a mouth way to big for her age. Cleo however is an academic and clever student but her involvement in other situations holds her back. Cleo's a big hit with the boys in the sixth form when she joins and she isn't shy of any attention she thrives in confrontation and attention even if the attention isn't for the right reasons.' It has been confirmed that Cleo will turn up in Hollyoaks four months pregnant and demanding answers from Porsche after she sent her away.

Darcy said on her casting 'Im thrilled to be playing Cleo and also to be a part of the iconic McQueen family. I've always been a huge fan of Hollyoaks so getting to play Cleo is a dream for me. She's got a long road ahead of her after she arrives in the village she wants answers from Porsche she wants to know why she sent her away but also she wants her revenge on her sister. Cleo's entrance storyline is pretty big that's all I can say because we're trying to keep it under-wraps all I can say is she needs to act her own revenge on Porsche to save her own skin! She needs to act fast if she wants to see the baby she's carrying in her womb. I'm utterly thrilled to be joining and I can't wait to get stuck in.'

EP Lucia said on the casting 'From the minute Darcy walked through that door we knew she fitted the role of Cleo perfectly she had the right amount of sass however the right amount of charisma for the audience to connect with her when we see her vulnerable side due to the trouble she is facing. Cleo will have some great interaction with the McQueens but also with the new Hollyoaks high sixth-formers. I can see a bright road ahead for both Darcy and Cleo in Hollyoaks.'

Darcy will make her first appearance as Cleo on Thursday 4th December
