    Shane (Lanre Malaolu)

    Prince and Hunter McQueen will be getting the surprise of their lives when their "wheeler dealer" dad suddenly reappears.

    The latest edition of Hollyoaks' popular YouTube show #HollyGoss introduces us to Goldie McQueen's (Chelsee Healey) former husband Shane, played by Lanre Malaolu.
    "I'm coming in to play Shane - Goldie's ex fella," Lanre teases. "Shane's recently released from prison and he's headed to Hollyoaks to make up with the missus. He gets straight back to business!"

    He's also the first to admit that Shane might not have his sons' best interests at heart when he turns up to surprise Prince and Hunter.

    "Shane is a bit of a wheeler dealer," Lanre admits. "He's very money-driven. He loves his family, but when it suits him."

    Hollyoaks bosses have recast the role of Prince and Hunter McQueen's father Shane, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.

    The twins' wayward dad will be returning to our screens next month, but he'll be looking a little different as Lanre Malaolu isn't coming back to play the character.

    Michael Salami has now taken over the role of Shane and Hollyoaks fans will see him in action for the first time from the week commencing Monday, May 8.

    Show chiefs recast the part after promoting Shane from a guest character to a more regular role, meaning that Lanre couldn't return.

    A Hollyoaks insider told Digital Spy: "There were long term plans for the character that did not fit with the original guest actor's schedule."

    Shane made his first appearance on Hollyoaks in January, when he reunited with his family in the village after a stint in prison.

    Prince, Hunter and their mum Goldie were cautiously optimistic to see Shane back, but it wasn't long before he fell into old traps and let them down.

    Shane also became embroiled in Joel Dexter's dark storyline by threatening to reveal that he was responsible for Katy Fox's death.

    With Shane now coming back, could he expose the truth about what happened to Katy? As Warren has just murdered Bart McQueen for his role in the tragedy, the timing really couldn't be any worse for Joel.

    New cast member Michael's previous credits include roles in BBC Three sitcom Just a Couple and Sky Living's Venus vs Mars.
