Jessica Fox: I want a big Hollyoaks wedding!

Hollyoaks actress Jessica Fox has revealed she would love her screen alter ego Nancy to marry Darren in a big soap wedding. Although their relationship has hit a rocky patch on screen the actress - and co-star Ashley Taylor Dawson - told Inside Soap magazine that they were rooting for the pair to patch up their differences as they love working together. "I would love a big soap wedding! Nancy's last marriage was horrible - she deserves a good one," Jessica said.. "We love them together. It was a relationship that came out of nowhere, but the writers and the audience were so charmed by Nancy and Darren together that it's kept going." Ashley, meanwhile, said it was their differences that had brought them together in the first place. "They were complete opposites - he was a male chauvinist pig, and she was a feminist. But somewhere in all the madness, they seem to be on the same page," he said. "It's funny because Jess is a prim and proper lady, but now she's potty mouthed and I've got her buying me coffee. "I've taken her to the dark side and she tries to bring me into the light. It's good fun."
