Hollyoaks legend Gemma Merna, who played the beloved role of Carmel McQueen on the Channel 4 soap opera, has opened up about her career after the show.

This comes as fans and cast members (past and present) take part in a very special celebratory screening to mark 30 years of Hollyoaks.

The "unforgettable" evening will include a preview of the highly anticipated anniversary week episodes, followed by a live panel Q&A featuring the stars and creative talent behind the show.
