Kingston: 'Hollyoaks plot is upsetting'

Beth Kingston has warned that there are "upsetting" scenes in store on Hollyoaks as her character departs the soap in a dark internet danger storyline.

As announced earlier this month, the actress's alter ego India Longford is to be murdered by a man she meets on an online dating website this Christmas.

Speaking to Holy Soap about the shock plotline, Kingston explained: "It's going to be very upsetting because it comes as such a shock in the episode.

"She is in such a happy mood, she thinks she's found the one and she's talking about the future and is really hopeful about everything. And it's such a horrible thing that happens."

India's attacker is an older man named Cameron (Jeff Rawle), who remains undetected after he dumps her body in the woods - leaving viewers to wonder whether he could strike again.

Kingston added: "My tummy did go slightly when I was filming the final part when he goes to attack me and when he slams the boot down, which is supposed to have my body in it. I did feel a bit sick, just because it's a horrible subject, but I really enjoyed the challenge."

India's murder takes place in a double bill of Hollyoaks airing on Thursday, December 23 from 6.00pm on Channel 4.
