Former Strictly dancer, AJ Pritchard and his Love Island brother, Curtis, are joining Hollyoaks playing twins
Brothers and TV personalities, AJ and Curtis Pritchard, are joining Hollyoaks this spring and will be playing twins!
Former Strictly Come Dancing pro AJ and his Love Island sibling Curtis are the latest additions to the Channel 4 soap and will appear on screen in the coming weeks.
The duo will arrive in the village, as dance teacher Trish Minniver, played by Denise Welch, hosts the grand opening of her brand-new dance school.
AJ, 26, has already filmed his first scenes on the Chester-based programme, and Curtis, 24, will be starting soon.
It’s a first on-screen acting role for both of the brothers, both professional dancers, and will show viewers a different side to the ones fans of Strictly and Love Island have already seen.
Twin role
Talking about their upcoming appearances, AJ said: "I can’t believe we will be featuring on Hollyoaks, we have grown up with the show on TV and it’s always been one of our favourite serial dramas.
"Our characters are fantastic, and we can’t wait for everyone to see how we bring them to life."
Curtis added: "I am so excited to be working with my brother AJ on a show we grew up watching!
"I am also excited to continue our journey together with Channel 4 and E4."
