Chris Fountain is about to leave Hollyoaks in fiery fashion and he says he's looking forward to playing anything other than Justin Burton. Justin, 21, told whatsontv.co.uk at the British Soap Awards on Saturday: "I've been playing Justin for five years and I'm just concerned they're going to run out of ideas for him and I'm going to end up playing a transvestite or something." The 2008 Best Actor winner at the awards is looking to expand his career after he takes a few months off. "I'd like to do film, but that's what everyone says... Maybe a comedy period drama film," he joked. CLICK below to watch the full interview with Hollyoaks star Chris Fountain
