Young Hollyoaks star Ellis Hollins has bonded with Coronation Street's Craig Gazey over a shared interest in scooters.

Hollins, who plays Tom Cunningham in the Channel 4 drama, told PA that he enjoyed getting to know Gazey when they met for the first time in July.

The 9-year-old actor revealed: "When we went to the Inside Soap Awards launch I met him there. We got on dead well.

"We have stuff in common. Me and my mum love scooters - not motorised ones - and he does as well. So we have stuff in common."

Gazey, 27, made his screen debut as Weatherfield's Graeme Proctor in April 2008. The eccentric character went on to become a permanent fixture in November.

Hollins recently discussed his desire to play James Bond in the future.
