A HOLLYOAKS legend has announced a huge career move a year after being sensationally axed from the show.
Last year Hollyoaks underwent a huge shake-up which saw 20 cast members fired in a brutal mass cull.

Even original characters weren’t safe from the chop, with Steph Waring – who made her first appearance as Cindy Cunningham in 1996 – losing her job on the Channel 4 soap.
Now it seems Steph, 47, is ready to spill the beans on life on and off screen as she’s announced her debut autobiography.
Sharing the news with fans on Instagram, she said: “It’s nearly time…
“My memoir Breaking the Script is coming June 4th.
“This is the story I’ve never told, until now.”
Steph added: “Most of you know me for playing Cindy Cunningham in Hollyoaks but in real life I’ve lived a very different story – one that I haven’t told until now.
“It’s very raw, unfiltered – very unfiltered – real, honest… the hardest but most rewarding thing I’ve ever done in my life and I can’t wait to share it with you all.”
After finding out she would be leaving the show last year, Steph confessed she was devastated by the news.
She told The Sun: “In the meeting they read from a script and a tear fell from my eye because I could just feel it in the room.
“They got to the end and said ‘And with that, we will be losing Cindy from the show’. I just kept saying ‘I don’t understand’.
“I was very distraught, I didn’t take it well – I was probably the most dramatic person they told.
“I just kept telling them ‘I’m an original character’. I was clutching at anything – telling them ‘but I was the first person to give birth on the show!’
“I could see the distress I was causing them because they were upset that I was so upset.”
