Footballers’ Wives to make a return

Gary Lucy has teased that ‘Footballers’ Wives’ is making a return.
The 35-year-old actor played Kyle Pascoe in the glamorous ITV drama – which ran from January 2002 to 14 April 2006 – and has hinted fans may soon be able to find out what their favourite characters have been up to in a reunion special.
Asked if the show will ever come back, he teased: "Maybe in some form… watch this space is all I can say.
"It was an outrageous and a fantastic thing to be a part of, so a reunion may be on the cards, you’ll have to wait and see."
And though Gary insists he has "no idea" what could have happened to his character after he departed in the third season of the show, he suggested fans won’t have to wait too long to find out.
He said: "Kyle was last seen running from the police, so I have no idea what happened to them. Just sit tight and everything I said will make sense."
In the meantime, Gary has returned to ‘Hollyoaks’ after 15 years away as Luke Morgan and though he’s thrilled to be back, he was a bit anxious about posing alongside the younger members of the cast.
He told Now magazine: "I had a mix of emotions really. The doubts and fears were only because I’m 16 years older and I haven’t got the eight-pack, sorry six-pack, I had.
"All the other whippersnappers have got them, so hopefully I won’t be sharing the screen too often with these young characters – especially if they’ve got their tops off. But to be perfectly honest, it was lovely. It’s like being home because I moved up there when I was 17, straight from school and did a lot of growing up there. They were very good to me and it’s still a fantastic place to be."
