'Oaks Zoë 'worried' over lesbian scenes

Hollyoaks actress Zoë Lister has revealed that she was worried when she first heard about her lesbian romp scenes.

The 26-year-old, who has played Zoë Carpenter in the Chester-based soap since 2006, was last month seen in Hollyoaks - Later in bed with her best friend Sarah Barnes (Loui Batley).

The storyline has since seen Sarah questioning her sexual tendencies, while Zoë has tried in vain to brush the encounter to one side in the hope that Sarah's father, who is also Zoë's boyfriend, wouldn't discover the incident.

Speaking of filming the lesbian scenes for Later Lister told DS: "I thought it was hilarious! I thought it'd be interesting, though. I was obviously quite worried about them. Loui [Batley] and I chatted a lot when we found out that it was going to be in the late-night eps and we were wondering 'oh no, what does this mean?!' But in the end, they weren't graphic or anything like that, so it was fine."

She added: "It was completely mental filming them. Loui and I just had a massive attack of the giggles. I think the crew were more embarrassed than we were! We were kind of ignored for the day."
