Not content with giving fans just one hunk – in the shape of former Emmerdale actor Adam Woodward – Hollyoaks are also introducing a second handsome young man into the fold. Yay!
So, without further ado, meet Jacob Roberts. Jacob will be playing Damon Kinsella, the best mate and "wingman" of fellow new arrival Brody Hudson (Woodward).
Aren't we spoiled, eh?

The latest heartthrob to move to Chester is said to be on the lookout for "Mrs Right", but Damon may have more of a connection to 'Oaks than fans first realise...
After a previous connection to a village resident quickly becomes clear, the question is: are they pleased to see him? (We can't imagine why they wouldn't be.)
Of his first TV role, Jacob admitted that he was "really excited" to be joining the Hollyoaks team.
"I really enjoy playing the role of Damon and I am looking forward to the fans discovering who he really is and who he is connected to in the village," he added.
Jacob and Adam's first scenes on the Channel 4 soap will air as part of the Six Weeks of Summer storyline, which will see some of the Hollyoaks cast hanging out in Ibiza.
Damon and Brody are described as being best mates since childhood, so they'll no doubt be revelling in the sun, sea and drama in Ibiza where they've been living it up on the ultimate lads' holiday before they swap the Spanish beaches for the streets of Chester.
Sure, we're a little jealous that their day job is taking them to the beach, but we can't wait to see how the results unfold.
