'Hollyoaks' actor spent night with BB star

Hollyoaks star Chris Fountain spent the night with former Big Brother contestant Sam Heuston after losing out in a TV awards ceremony.

The actor, who plays Justin Burton on the Channel 4 soap, was consoled by Sam after missing out on the Most Popular Actor gong at the National Television Awards in 2006.

The pair met at the Funky Buddha nightclub in London, before Chris took Sam back to his room at the Hilton Hotel in Kensington.

"When I saw him in the club I thought he was gorgeous. He was with his co-star Devon Anderson and Antony Cotton from Coronation Street," Sam told the News of the World.

"I know Antony so I went over to say hi. I'd never spoken to Chris before, but I was in the mood for sex and feeling confident after a few glasses of rosé wine so I just walked up and asked if I could bed him.

"I know it's not very romantic, but I wanted him and it turned out to be a good move. He laughed, and made it clear he was up for it too, although he said it was the first time anyone had been so blunt with him.

"I didn't want to end the night alone. And I think he was a bit gutted that he hadn't won the TV award so he needed cheering up - I guess I was the consolation prize!"

Sam has revealed that an "embarrassed" Chris asked her to leave the next morning because he had to rush out to do an interview.

"We didn't swap numbers. I just grabbed my clothes and headed off to the Tube," she said. "I think the age and experience gap was too much, but it was a nice night."
