Big Brother 8 winner Brian Belo is to appear in Hollyoaks later this month.
The 20-year-old landed a role as an extra after constantly talking about his love for the soap during his time in the house.
He said: "When I landed the role on Hollyoaks, I was so excited I couldn't sleep. The day ranked as one of the top three days of my life. Number one was winning BB and number two was going out with Amanda, of course."
He said the high points of his day were meeting favourite cast member Jennifer Metcalfe (Mercedes McQueen) and pulling a pint in The Dog pub. He also appeared in a scene at Il Gnosh alongside the restaurant's owner Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard).
He revealed: "Jennifer was really lovely, just as I'd dreamed. When she said I could sit on her bed in the McQueens' house, I was like, game on!"
He added: "I nearly fainted when I went into The Dog."
Hollyoaks producer Bryan Kirkwood said: "It was obvious throughout the whole of the last series of Big Brother that he was a big Hollyoaks fan and therefore we thought it only fitting to give the nation's favourite reality TV star a role in our show."
Brian will appear in the Channel 4 soap at 6.30pm on November 20.
