Hollyoaks has launched a jaw-dropping competition in which fans of the Channel 4 show are being offered the chance to become the latest victim of serial killer, Jez Blake

Die-hard Hollyoaks fans are in for a treat after being offered the chance to star in the series in jaw-dropping style. The Channel 4 soap, set in Chester, has amassed a legion of loyal fans, since it started in 1995 and now bosses want to say thank you.

To celebrate Hollyoaks’ 30th anniversary, one lucky fan will get the chance to join the soap and play the latest victim of serial killer, Jez Blake, who is fast becoming one of the programme’s most vile villains.

Taking to TikTok, announcing the competition, Hollyoaks’ Nadine Mulkerrin and Anna Passey, who play Cleo McQueen and Sienna Blake respectively, ask: “How much of a Hollyoaks superfan are you?”

They continue: “To celebrate Hollyoaks’ 30th birthday, we are on the hunt for the ultimate Hollyoaks superfan. You will be invited to the village to film an exclusive scene but there is a killer twist.

“Your character will be killed off by Hollyoaks’ most notorious serial killer.”

Explaining how to enter, they conclude: “All you need to do is tell us why your Hollyoaks’ biggest superfan and you might just be invited to the next stage of the competition.”

Chief Content Officer at Channel 4, Ian Katz, also promoted the competition on LinkedIn, writing: “Later this year the show will celebrate its 30th birthday with a soap first. Fans of the show are being offered the chance to win a slice of TV immortality – by dying on screen for it. One viewer will be selected to become the latest victim of Jez, the latest in a long line of Hollyoaks serial killers.”

Bloodthirsty Jez, played by Jeremy Sheffield, struck again last month, claiming the life of Ian, a social worker who he believed knew way too much.

The crazed killer, as viewers know, has thus far killed Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) and Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti) since rocking up in the village.

His murder spree, however, dates back decades, with the twisted gardener keeping track of all his victims’ names in a notebook which he keeps close.

This week on Hollyoaks, it’s Jez and John Paul’s wedding day, but John Paul gets cold feet, while the walls continue to close in on the serial killer and his affair with Liberty.

At the start of the year, fans were convinced Jez was going to try and kill his groom, John Paul, with one taking to X saying: “Need people to stop saying Jez is going kill John Paul because I can not handle that actually.

Another added: “John Paul better watch out” while a third warned: “Run my John Paul, Run!”
