Chris Fountain has revealed that people still shout out "Hollyoaks" to him, despite his two-year turn on Coronation Street. The 25-year-old previously played rebellious teen Justin Burton on the Channel 4 soap, before taking on the role of Tommy Duckworth on the ITV show. "I get 'Hollyoaks' shouted at me in the street more, which is quite strange, as I've been with Coronation Street for nearly two years now," he told Star magazine. Chris said the two shows are quite different: "Corrie is more challenging as you don't have as many chances to nail it. It's more, 'Get it done in one take'." The actor - who took part in Dancing On Ice in 2008 - also said he has no intentions to join a reality TV show like Celebrity Big Brother or I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! "No, definitely not. Reality shows and entertaining shows are very different," he said. "With Dancing On Ice or Strictly [Come Dancing], you're learning something new and working with professional people. I've still got a passion for ice-skating. "Saying that, if they didn't show I'm A Celeb... and Big Brother on TV, I'd do them, just for the experience. Imagine that on a stag do? It would be amazing to properly rough it in the jungle with the lads," he added.
