Janet Street-Porter’s windy Hollyoaks cameo

Janet Street-Porter got wind on the ‘Hollyoaks’ set after chowing down on too many chips in between takes.
The ‘Loose Women’ panellist and her fellow star Linda Robson are to appear on the Channel 4 soap as wedding guests at Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) and Russ Owen’s (Stuart Manning) wedding this week, and journalist Janet was blown away by her own performance.
When asked by Linda what she ate at the pub on her lunch break, Janet said: "I just had chips."
Linda asked: "Oh yeah, what did it give you?"
Janet replied: "Wind."
She wore a fascinator to play a wedding guest, but Linda admitted the ‘F-Word’ star was initially reluctant to don the head gear.
The ‘Birds of a Feather’ star said: "It took a while to get her to wear it, but once you got it on you loved it."
Janet added: "Yeah, I wore it to lunch in the pub. I was in character."
But she was shocked to see the cast also in the pub in their costumes.
She said: "I couldn’t believe it, everyone from the cast was sitting in the pub in their costumes.
"I was terrified I was going to drop my chili con carne down me."
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’, Jennifer added: "It just takes that long and that hour that you get, you want to make the most of that hour."
This comes after Linda previously joked former ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ star Janet was acting like a diva on the set by refusing to wear various accessories.
She said: "She was going all through the handbags going, ‘Is that designer? No, I’m not using that, I’m not wearing that.’ "
