Waterloo Road veteran Chelsee Healey has a new soap role lined up in Hollyoaks.

The 27-year-old Manchester native has not yet revealed who she'll be playing in the soap, but has seemingly confirmed her casting by retweeting supportive fan messages.

Hollyoaks will mark Healey's return to acting, having ended her 11-month stint as bubbly barista Honey Wright in Casualty last September.

Healey is perhaps best known for playing Janeece Bryant for six years, ending in 2012.

The actress has had success in the reality TV arena as well, finishing as runner-up to McFly's Harry Judd in Strictly Come Dancing.

Earlier this week, Warren Fox's dark secret was revealed on Hollyoaks... and it's heartbreaking.
