Here's some gossip that'll tickle a few people's fancy.

Former Hollyoaks star James Sutton began filming with Emmerdale yesterday and my sources tell me that he had an extremely hectic day shooting his first block of scenes.

The 26-year-old - who played the ever-popular character John Paul McQueen in the Channel 4 soap - joined the soap earlier this year as Faye Lamb's (Kim Thomson) son Ryan Lamb. And from what I hear, he has some great material on the horizon.

He's due to appear on screen during the second week of June.
