Chelsee Healey calls for more ‘fitties’ in Hollyoaks

Chelsee Healey has called for ‘Hollyoaks’ to cast "some new fit boys" for her character Goldie McQueen.
The former ‘Waterloo Road’ star cannot see her alter-ego hooking up with any of the current crop of male characters on the Channel 4 soap, so she has appealed to the show’s bosses to introduce "some new fitties" to the Chester village.
She said: "I can’t see her with anyone there at the moment. I think ‘Hollyoaks’ needs some new fitties.
"What Goldie really needs is someone who’s on her level, who she can have a laugh with.
"Someone cheeky, a bit of a charmer, but also someone she can rely on.
"So, come on ‘Hollyoaks’ – get some new fit boys in."
The 30-year-old star admits she and Goldie are quite similar, and she particularly likes it when the "cheeky" character gets up to no good.
She said: "I love that she’s so cheeky – which I can really relate to in real life.
"We’re not all that different. I love how Goldie is always getting into mischief, and I think she’s such a funny character.
"She’s definitely very loyal, like myself, and her sons always come as her priority."
Despite there being similarities between the pair, Chelsee has to wear a wig to portray the red-head, and is glad to take the hairpiece off at the end of a day’s filming.
She added to Inside Soap magazine: "Past a certain point in the day it starts to get itchy, but I’ve gradually got used to it.
"I love it for the character – it’s just right – although I’m always glad to take it off at the end of the working day."
