Email [email protected] By Madison Burgess Published:18:39 BST, 10 September 2024 |Updated:18:39 BST, 10 September 2024 e-mail View comments A Hollyoaks star has shockingly claimed he was forced to strip off by Channel 4 bosses on his first day so he could be ‘sheared like a sheep’ in front of his new cast mates. Gregory Finnegan, who has played James Nightingale in the soap opera since 2016, made the bombshell claims in his upcoming autobiography, The World According to Grog, reports The Sun. According to the publication, extracts of the memoir disclose that the 44-year-old actor was instructed to strip down to his boxers to be shaven and given a spray tan. He recalled: ‘As soon as my skin was bared, Faye [head of makeup] started to shave me. All of me. Was this necessary, I asked? ‘Bryan doesn’t like hair!’ was the answer I was given. Exec producer Bryan Kirkwood, that was. ‘This was a baptism by clippers and given that many of my new cast mates came and went in the hour or two that I was in there, an extremely exposing one.’ A Hollyoaks star has shockingly revealed he was forced to strip off by Channel 4 bosses on his first day so he could be ‘sheared like a sheep’ in front of his new cast mates (pictured in 2019) Gregory Finnegan, who has played James Nightingale in the soap opera since 2016, made the bombshell claims in his upcoming autobiography, The World According to Grog, reports The Sun (Pictured in May 2019) Moving on to the spray tan, he added: ‘I was taken to a small booth in a broom cupboard, given a tiny pair of paper pants and darkened by several shades.’ He admitted that he had no idea this was going to happen and instead thought he was getting a ‘hair and make-up test’. But, upon arrival he was immediately told to strip down to his boxer shorts so they could see ‘how’ hairy he was. Gregory’s explosive book is set to be released on Wednesday 12th September, but is available for pre-order now. MailOnline have contacted representatives for Hollyoaks for comment. The claims come just as Hollyoaks is set for a major scheduling shake-up as it will go down from five to just three episodes per week from Monday. It’s set to take a year-long time jump, with 20 cast members sadly being axed due to the ongoing Channel 4 cuts. The channel said that they were making the change because it is the ‘optimum pattern to keep heartland audiences hooked and attract new ones in a highly saturated content market’ based on Channel 4 data. According to the publication, extracts of the memoir disclose that the 44-year-old actor was instructed to strip down to his boxers to be shaven and given a spray tan (pictured left in character on the show) Moving on to the spray tan, he added: ‘I was taken to a small booth in a broom cupboard, given a tiny pair of paper pants and darkened by several shades’ (pictured in June 2022) They claim that their research shows that most regular soap viewers watch an average of three episodes per week. MDs of Lime Pictures, Kate Little and Claire Poyser, said: ‘Given the success of the new streaming-first model, we are delighted that Hollyoaks remains at the forefront of Channel 4’s digital first strategy, bringing authentic, unexpected and untold stories that inspire younger audiences in a way that they want to consume them. ‘Evidently there are implications that will mean we have to reshape Hollyoaks’ production model and amidst the buoying news for the future of the show and its audience, we must also acknowledge that a reduction in cast and crew, will be very difficult and we will support everyone in that process.’ The budget cuts have forced Channel 4 bosses to carry out a mass axing of cast and crew. Earlier this year, Stephanie Waring revealed that she had been axed from the soap after 27 years as Cindy Cunningham. Taking to Instagram Stephanie explained how show bosses had made the decision to axe her from the soap and told her two weeks ago. She said that she was given the option to reveal she quit in a bid to avoid public ’embarrassment’ of her being axed but insisted she wanted to be honest with her fans. Gregory’s explosive book is set to be released on Wednesday 12th September, but is available for pre-order now The claims come just as Hollyoaks is set for a major scheduling shake-up as it will go down from five to just three episodes per week from Monday Earlier this year, Stephanie Waring revealed that she had been axed from the soap after 27 years as Cindy Cunningham Ross Adams also decided to quit Hollyoaks after nine years on the soap, revealing the news in an Instagram update. The actor, who has starred as Scott Drinkwell since 2015, revealed that while he was offered a new contract the crew were ‘having a pretty rough time’ and he felt it best to leave. A source told The Sun: ‘Losing 20 cast members in one fell swoop is eye-watering and devastating news for soap land. ‘In the past, Hollyoaks has seen shock stunts claim up to five lives in a single episode. But the days of soaps having a big cast clear-out with a devastating stunt are long gone, especially on Hollyoaks where the budget has been dramatically cut. ‘The time jump is a way for Hollyoaks to say goodbye to the characters that need to go and give closure to the fans – but it will be controversial.’ SoapsChannel 4HollyoaksTV Shows Share or comment on this article: Hollyoaks bosses forced me to strip to my underwear in front of everyone before shearing me like a sheep, claims star in explosive autobiography e-mail Add comment Bing Site Web Enter search term: Search DON’T MISS Shirtless James Argent packs on the PDA with bikini-clad girlfriend Nicoline Artursson as they share a passionate kiss in the sea in St Tropez Ruth Langsford makes a heartbreaking remark about her looks as ex Eamonn Holmes, 64, moves on with Katie Alexander, 42 EXCLUSIVELauren Goodger reveals broken promise made by Mark Wright before he married Michelle Keegan and claims he ignores her EXCLUSIVELIZ JONES: Kate’s video was so moving, but to me something feels off… and I fear others will see through it Kerry Katona slams schools for teaching ‘pointless subjects like geography when we have AI and Google’ as she calls for kids to be taught ‘real-life skills’ ‘It’s ok not to feel ok all the time!’: New mums talk honestly about the ‘fourth trimester’ and the importance of support and self-care Ad Feature Janette Manrara hits back at Will Bayley’s claims he made him redo a jump that caused a lifelong injury as she speaks out on Strictly scandal amid Aljaz furore EXCLUSIVEHow Eamonn Holmes met his new girlfriend who has a VERY intriguing personal life, as revealed by ALISON BOSHOFF Beyoncé recalls she ‘couldn’t afford calling cards’ to contact husband Jay-Z when they first began dating as she opens up about privacy and family ‘We will be forever grateful’: Mother’s joy as son’s leukaemia stays in remission for five years after he took part in a life-changing clinical trial Ad Feature James Corden dons a wedding suit as he films Gavin and Stacey’s final episode after THAT Nessa proposal cliffhanger… but will the big day go ahead?
