'Hollyoaks' newcomer unsure of romance plot

Hollyoaks newcomer Richard Winsor has revealed that he is unsure what direction his character will take in an upcoming plot for the soap.

Winsor joined the Channel 4 series as Father Francis last month, and will first appear on-screen in July. Father Francis is said to make an impression with Carmel McQueen (Gemma Merna), who is training to become a nun.

The actor has said that he looks forward to exploring whether his character will give in to temptation or respect the rules of his religion.

"Basically they're tempting each other, more and more and more. There's a lot of sexual tension which could just suddenly erupt. So we don't know if they're going so leave that place behind and just suddenly jump on each other, or just hold onto it. I can't really let too much go!" he told BANG Showbiz.

"It's quite a nice, budding, 'Will-they-won't-they?' kind of relationship - obviously they have constraints so they can't just jump in despite their attraction so they're just working through that."

Winsor revealed that Father Francis may also win the affections of Cindy Longford (Stephanie Waring), which he says may greatly upset Carmel.

He said: "I think Father Francis would break Carmel's heart if he suddenly just upped off and got interested in someone else - so we'll just have to see! Though I think Cindy has a bit of a crush on him, regardless of whether anything will happen!"

Richard Winsor is best known for playing Tomas in Streetdance 3D, and won the Elle award for 'Sexiest Dancer In The World' last year.
