Wallace: 'I'll really miss Jen Metcalfe'

Hollyoaks star Glen Wallace has paid tribute to his screen wife Jennifer Metcalfe following the end of his stint on the teen soap.

Last night, viewers of E4's first look screening saw Wallace's final scenes in the role of Malachy Fisher, who had been a permanent fixture on the show for two and a half years.

After the episode was broadcast, Wallace took part in a Facebook webchat with fans, where he was asked to name the cast members he became closest to during his time with the programme.

The actor replied: "I'll really miss having Jenny Metcalfe in my life. It's been a weird month without her moaning and joking all the time.

"But I'm also a season ticket holder at Old Trafford, so there's a few of the lads that I go with that I'll miss like Tony Hirst, Jamie Lomas and Anthony Quinlan."

He added: "I was very fortunate that I was paired with Jen. I've spent a lot of time hanging around in the canteen with Jen for which I was very lucky. She's a superstar and I'm really proud of her."

Metcalfe's character Mercedes reunited with Malachy on screen earlier this month, but the devastating Il Gnosh blaze resulted in their happiness being short-lived.
