Alison Hammond ‘very flirty’ with Jacob Roberts on Hollyoaks set

Alison Hammond was "very flirty" with Jacob Roberts when she was a special guest on the ‘Hollyoaks’ set.
The soap star – who plays Damon Kinsella – had a great time with the ‘This Morning’ roving reporter when she appeared at the studios of the Channel 4 soap in March, and says she was "great fun".
He said: "Alison is such a great fun girl she was having a crack on set with me. She’s very flirty."
Jacob’s co-star Nikki Sanderson (Maxine Minniver) also had an "absolute scream" with the former ‘Big Brother’ star on the set.
She said: "Alison was an absolute scream she was brilliant we loved having her on set it was just a really fun day we thoroughly enjoyed it."
As well as the 44-year-old star, the ‘Hollyoaks’ actors were also recently treated to a visit from 107-year-old Jack Reynolds, who became the world’s oldest soap actor after landing a cameo in ‘Oaks’.
Nikki said: "I was honoured to have Jack on set and to meet him what a wonderful man and what a fantastic thing he’s doing at his age going out and breaking all the world records.
"I just think good on him it was bloody wonderful."
Jacob praised Jack – who became the oldest person to ride a zip wire above a 1,312ft-long drop after turning 106, and was the oldest person to ride a rollercoaster in 2017 aged 105 – as "brave" for appearing on the show.
He added: "Jack is 107 years old, and it’s a really difficult thing to come in and learn lines for anybody and the fact that he’s done it is so brave and great for him."
Jack – who is raising money for Alzheimer’s Dementia Support with his soaps challenge – also became the oldest person to get a tattoo aged 104.
