'Hollyoaks' Xmas Show: Professor Green, Matt Cardle, more - Pictures

Hollyoaks stars recently welcomed Professor Green, Rizzle Kicks, Wretch 32 and X Factor winner Matt Cardle to the set of the soap for this year's Hollyoaks Music Show Christmas special.

The musicians filmed exclusive performances at the programme's base in Liverpool earlier this month, as well as taking part in various features with the cast behind the scenes.

Wretch 32's appearance on set came just a few weeks after Hollyoaks characters invaded one of his real-life gigs in a live stunt for the drama. He has also appeared in a previous Music Show episode.

Wretch commented: "It is good to be back! I knew where my changing room was and everything, I remember it all well."

Asked where he would like to be in a year's time, the rapper replied: "Back here again!"

Other performers on the day included Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts and Hollyoaks' in-house band Daytona Lights.

The Hollyoaks Music Show's Christmas special airs on Saturday at 8.55am on Channel 4. Browse through our gallery below for pictures from the filming day.
