HOLLYOAKS has shared the first look of The Traitors star Maddy Smedley as she makes her debut on the soap.
The star, who rose to fame on the BBC reality show, will play a character named Faye Fuller.

It is a clever play on words and nod to Maddy’s reality TV beginnings where she was a ‘faithful’ on the BBC game show.
In her first scene on the show, Faye, a talent manager, springs into action as she arrives in the Chester village.
Donning a hot pink suit, Faye means business and she certainly manages to catch the eyes of those around her with her bubbly personality.
Faye appears alongside Romeo (Owen Warner) and Rayne (Jemma Donovan) in her first scene where she will act as an agent to help Rayne further her influencing career.
Maddy had previously described her character as “trashy, sassy and a bit cutthroat”.
Faye’s main mission will be to help Rayne land a role on a reality TV show.
Viewers of the Channel 4 show were left thrilled to see Maddy appear on screens as they praised her casting online.
One said: “She’s amazing, well done Maddy.”
Another added: “I absolutely love her. From Traitors. So beautiful and funny. Nice to see her on Hollyoaks.”
While a third penned: “BRILL.”
Maddy will appear on the soap in her role across eight episodes.
However, this is not her first time treading the boards in the world of soap operas.
She famously played Rita the homeless woman in EastEnders for one episode- something which came to light during her appearance on The Traitors.
The uncovering of Maddy as a professional actress led many of her co-stars to think she had been ‘faking’ the game all along and her acting abilities were masking her as a traitor.
Although they were eventually proved wrong, the moment helped to put Maddy at the forefront of the show.
Outside of acting, the star is currently pregnant with her first child and is due to give birth later this year.
