Hollyoaks stars united to hold an on-set cake sale to raise funds for the Stand Up To Cancer charity, but it soon descended into comic chaos as, true to form, the cast turned on each other...
The innocent bake sale was a recipe for disaster, with Tamara Wall (Grace Black) kicking off the food fight after cheekily planting a cream cake in the face of Jessica Ellis (Tegan Lomax).
The cast of Hollyoaks, including Kieron Richardson, Anna Passey and Alex Fletcher, got together for the on-set bake sale in the Hutch to encourage people to raise as much money as possible for vital research. But things very quickly descended into a Bugsy Malone-inspired mess...
Twinnie-Lee Moore (Porsche McQueen) obviously decided David Kennedy (Dirk Savage) was one cast member who could use a bit more face cream... And she didn't go easy on applying it!
Dirk wasn't going to take that – and responded with a swift coffee cake to the chin.
Kieron, who plays Ste Hay in the award-winning soap, said: “We’re Standing Up To Cancer because it’s something that touches the lives of almost everyone at some point and we want to play a part in beating it sooner. It’s so easy to get involved and help make a difference and as our bake sale shows, it can be great fun when you rope your mates in, too.
“We hope others feel inspired to get their hands dirty and take on a challenge – no matter how big or small – to raise money this October.
