Chef Tony Hutchinson lands in hot water when he is arrested for having sex with a schoolgirl.

Devastated after his break-up with Jacqui McQueen, the lad is thrilled when a hot mystery newcomer makes a play for him.

He takes the gorgeous blonde, called Theresa, back to his flat for sex.

He is thrilled when he wakes up next to the beauty (Jorgie Porter, 20), who is keen to carry on the romance.

But Tony – played by Nick Pickard, 29 – decides things are moving too fast after his break-up with Jacqui (Claire Cooper, 25) and he tells her he does not want to see her again.

Tony does not realise he has been seduced by a minor, and also has no idea she is actually a McQueen.

Theresa is the cousin of Jacqui and part of the wacky family who have come to Chester to offer comfort following the death of Tina last month.

She soon proves she is just as feisty as the rest and is quick to tell everyone her new fella is treating her badly.

When Jacqui discovers an older man has taken advantage of Theresa, she is furious.

She then explodes with rage when she finds out it is Tony, and calls the police.

A show insider said: “This could ruin Tony’s life. Jacqui’s a scorned woman after he slept with her sister Mercedes, so she’s out for revenge and this could be it.”

or Nana? haha sorry too far how many times has Tony been arrested now??

[StarsOfCCTV]

Ah but this could actually be serious. If she's a minor couldn't he be technically charged with rape? Or something along those lines. Even if it is consensual.

[moonstorm]

What is it with Tony, he used to be very quiet, now he is a sex crazed maniac!

[*-Rooney-*]

Wow jacqui really is someone not to be messed with.

IT’S the single life again for loser-in-love Tony Hutchinson after he catches his girlfriend Cindy Cunningham snogging Darren Osborne.




He’s gone through more women than he’s served hot meals in his restaurant Gnosh.




And once again he’s all alone after dumping unfaithful Cindy. But this time he’s only got himself to blame.





Our insider revealed: “Tony starts getting cold feet when Cindy practically moves into his flat along with her daughter Holly.




“He tells her to back off but a few days later they end up having a big fight at work and Cindy runs off crying.




“Feeling guilty, Tony goes round to apologise, only to catch her kissing Darren.”




A furious Tony, feeling like a fool, tells Cindy they are finished and storms off.




At first Cindy is convinced she’ll be able to win him back.




But when it becomes obvious she’s got more chance of *winning the lottery she turns her attentions back to Darren.




Our insider added: “Cindy and Darren are perfect for each other.





“They are both greedy money-grabbers and it isn’t long before they are looking for a way to fleece Tony for all they can get.”




Cindy gets caught out on Wednesday August 5 at 6.30pm on Channel 4.

Hollyoaks businessman Tony Hutchinson will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in a forthcoming storyline.

Nick Pickard, who plays the long-standing character, has already begun filming the emotional plot and viewers will see Tony receive his diagnosis in early May.


Show bosses and the Hollyoaks story team have thoroughly researched the illness in recent months, and are hoping that Tony's storyline will help to raise awareness among the public.

Pickard commented: "I am really excited and hugely honoured to be involved in this upcoming storyline for Tony. As an actor you really want to portray dramatic stories that you can really get your teeth into and that strike a chord with the audience.

"Tony's diagnosis will certainly challenge me as an actor and I hope will raise awareness of this particular type of male cancer."


According to Cancer Research UK, around 2,090 men in the UK are diagnosed with testicular cancer each year.

The illness is one of the most treatable types of cancer, with research suggesting that over 95% of men will be cured if diagnosed and treated in the early stages.

Tony has been part of Hollyoaks since the first episode in 1995 and viewers can expect him to be prominent on screen as the storyline plays out over the next few months.

Pickard told Digital Spy this week: "It's a very big year ahead for Tony, which is very good for me. I'm really looking forward to it. It'll actually be one of my biggest years, this year."

Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
