EXCLUSIVE: Hollyoaks hunk Jamie Lomas has been signed up for a villainous role in upcoming spoof movie Jackie the Stripper – which is set to see Katie Price make a starring feature
A soap legend has been signed up to star alongside Katie Price in a new horror comedy title.
Jackie the Stripper is being released towards the end of the year and will see the Pricey sink her teeth into acting as she takes on a matriarchal role. Alongside her in the movie, is soap legend Jamie Lomas.
The Hollyoaks hunk spoke exclusively to Daily Star about his new role as he takes on the murderous character Jack the Ripper.
Speaking to Daily Star, he said: “How can you possibly get into the spirit of the role of Jack the Ripper? Exactly! It’s a strange one but to play a character like that is so iconic, but the advantage of it is nobody ever knew who he was, so you can put whatever spin on it that you want.
“You can see from my look, I went full in with it,” as he pointed to his moustache and bears, and added “I’ve had real fun. And it’s always nice to play a baddie.”
Jamie shared: “I kill a couple of people, all in a days work, then disappear off into the night. It’s like the movie within a movie, the start of the film is a period, then it comes into present day and turns into the blood line of Jack the Ripper etc. It’s going to be a good one.”
We also sat down with talented director Michael Head, who has been putting the horror-comedy film together with a star-studded cast.
However, another star was lined up for the project – but unfortunately didn’t make the cut, as they passed away before filming began. In a twist of events, this left the door open for Katie to land a last-minute part.
Michael told us: “Paul Danan was supposed to be in the film – I was talking to him on the Monday and then I found out he passed away on the Wednesday. I was speaking to his agent as obviously he couldn’t be in the film, and she said ‘How about Katie Price?’
“I said there’s not a part for her, I’m already cast, but I said ‘Let me think about it’. But I went away and wrote her a part in, if she’s interested. She was absolutely fantastic. I knew she would nail it. I know how professional she is, and I knew she would be able to play this role. As a person she was great as well.
“She was so professional but she was hilarious, she’s unbelievably funny but also professional. if you look at her career, she was a model very pretty lady but how many other people are incredibly pretty? She’s had the career she’s had because she’s persistent, talented and got the drive.”
