'Hollyoaks' cast member in "shocking" accident

Filming of Hollyoaks was thrown into chaos today after a member of the cast was floored by a fence.

Actor Chris Fountain - Justin Burton in the Chester-based soap - injured himself on location when he touched an electric fence despite clear signs warning him not to.

A Hollyoaks insider told DS: "Chris really hurt himself. It catapulted him backwards. He's gone to hospital and he'll be off work until he recovers."

The on-location scheduling was hit for six after this second incident involving members of the cast. Only yesterday Kevin Sacre (Jake Dean) was sent home from filming after contracting the Hand Foot and Mouth disease.
