Nikki Sanderson says her new Hollyoaks character Maxine Minniver will be eyeing up the hot men in the village.



Maxine is set to make a dramatic entrance on the soap next week, five years after she nicked her sister Mitzeee's man and ran off to Spain with him.

And Nikki said of Maxine, who arrives single: "Let's just say she's a young lady and she does have an eye for the men and she does have a look, but as to who I will get with or who I will flirt with, I can't say, my lips are sealed."

But she added: "I think because she's just come over from Spain and leaving someone, I actually don't know who and when and what, and if there's going to be a relationship for her."

Mitzeee and Maxine may have a tense relationship on Hollyoaks, but former Corrie actress Nikki said she and actress Rachel Shenton, who plays Mitzeee, are getting on brilliantly.

"I feel very lucky because working so closely with someone for such an extended period of time, if you didn't get on it would be awful, but Rachel and I get on like a house on fire, we get on so well and I would say now that I class her as a friend rather than as a work colleague.

"We're getting on really well off-screen so people will hopefully see the camaraderie between us on-screen."
