Hollyoaks star Sarah Dunn has revealed that she developed a crush on Batman actor Christian Bale last year.

The soap actress, 26, who makes an appearance in Batman: The Dark Knight, admitted she fell for the Welsh-born actor while on set.

"Oh my god, he's so fit!" she told the Daily Star. "I think he is the best Batman that there has ever been and it was an absolute pleasure working with him.

"I was starstruck by the whole experience - it was incredible, I loved it. I am not allowed to say too much about it because they want to keep everything a big secret, but I can't wait for it to come out."

Dunn returned to her role as Mandy Richardson in the Channel 4 soap last month following a two-year break from the show.

Commenting on her return, Dunn said: "I've been working quite a lot in the two years since I left and I think I can bring that experience to Mandy, who has also changed a lot.

"I am contracted for six months. Who knows what will happen after that?"
