Jamie Lomas is not planning to swap Hollyoaks for Hollywood. The 31-year-old actor - who plays bad boy Warren Fox in the Channel 4 soap - is considering going over to Los Angeles to look for roles, but doesn't want to move there full-time as he wants to stay near his family. Jamie's fiancee Kym Marsh wrote in her New magazine column: "Jamie has a five-year-old son, Billy, and moving country would mean he'd never see him or Polly. Jamie wouldn't put his career before his children." She added: "Jamie may go over for a little while but has no intention of moving to LA." Kym, who has two children from a previous relationship, gave birth to Jamie's daughter Polly in March. The 35-year-old mother-of-three is also encouraging her Coronation Street co-star Michelle Keegan to start a family with her fiance, The Wanted's Max George. She said: "Max George has talked about wanting to have children with my friend and Corrie co-star Michelle Keegan. "I know they've not been together very long, but when you know, you know. They're great together and seem very much in love."
