Hollyoaks – Chris Fountain's charity party
Wednesday, 28 May 2008
The stars of Hollyoaks have raised £20,000 for charity by playing in a celebrity football match and holding a special charity ball.
The Soapstar Football Challenge saw Hollyoaks stars Ricky Whittle, Jamie Lomas, Chris Fountain and Nick Pickard compete against a team made up of stars from Coronation Street, Emmerdale, The Bill, Shameless and Casualty.
The money raised will go to the Alder Hey Imagine Appeal and Claire House Children's Hospice.
Hollyoaks captain Nick Pickard (who plays Tony) told the Liverpool Daily Post: "Not only was the day and evening great fun, it's also a fantastic opportunity for us to raise money for two worthwhile charities."
The charity ball attracted a huge host of soap talent. Coronation Street's Kym Ryder helped entertain the audience during the event.
The newly single actress wowed the crowd in her black backless dress. She has recently been linked to Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas who plays bad boy Warren Fox.
Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe looked very happy during the event with Liverpool player Jermaine Pennant on her arm. It looks like they are back together after splitting earlier on in the year.
Chris Fountain fans will be pleased to know that his date for the ball was his mum Lynda.
Coronation Street's Ryan Thomas was there with his pregnant girlfriend Tina O'Brien competing against Hollyoak's Ricky Whittle and Carley Stenson in the style stakes. The McQueen sisters, played by Leah Hackett and Gemma Merna also showed their support at the charity event.
