EastEnders - Emma Barton´s ´Hollyoaks´ love

24 January 2008 - Emma Barton lusts after 'Hollyoaks' hunks.

The 'EastEnders' star - who plays Albert Square's Honey Mitchell - admits she tunes in to the rival soap because it boasts "a lot of attractive men".

Emma, 29, told Britain's Soaplife magazine: "I am a big fan of 'Hollyoaks'. I haven't been able to watch it for a while because I've been so busy, but there are a lot of attractive men on that show!

"Having good-looking men to watch certainly doesn't harm your enjoyment of the show!"

'Hollyoaks' boasts a string of hunks including Chris Fountain, who plays Justin Burton, and Ricky Whittle, who plays police officer Calvin Valentine - who have both previously been nominated for Sexiest Male at the British Soap Awards.

Emma is not the first 'EastEnders' star to lust after a 'Hollyoaks' cast member.

Rob Kazinsky, who plays 'EastEnders' bad boy Sean Slater, recently split from 'Hollyoaks' beauty Jennifer Biddall. They dated for eight months after meeting at the TV Now Awards in Dublin.
