expressed her excitement over their new venture and how they secured the roles after Channel 4 Instagram's account offered fans a glimpse behind the scenes, showing the boys enjoying

their first experience on set. Fans' curiosity led them to question Stacey about the sudden appearance of her children, prompting her to reveal the details on Instagram Stories. She

said, "So many are you messaging me saying, 'Was that Zach and Leighton I saw in Hollyoaks? '," admitting with surprise, "I know it's so random but it was!

" Stacey, aged 35, explained it was the "funniest story", detailing how they got spotted. At the National Television Awards, she and Zach met the executive producer of

Hollyoaks on the red carpet. As a huge fan of the show, Zach's admiration for the soap began in his youth when he couldn't wait for Sundays to watch the Hollyoaks Omnibus. READ
