Hollyoaks star Greg Finnegan reveals shocking experience on first day

Orders to Strip and Shave

Hollyoaks actor Greg Finnegan, known for his role as James Nightingale, has disclosed a surprising encounter on his debut day while working on the soap opera. The Celeb Report has exclusively unveiled details from his upcoming memoir.

A "Sheep-Like" Experience

In his book, 'The World According to Grog', Finnegan recounts how he was instructed to strip down to his boxer shorts in front of colleagues and then completely shaved and given a spray tan, all before even starting filming.

Baptism by Clippers

He describes the experience as a "baptism by clippers," revealing that he was sheared from head to toe by the new head of make-up, Faye Ward, under orders from executive producer Bryan Kirkwood who allegedly disliked any hint of hair on the actors.

Fit In or Stand Out

After the shaving ordeal, Finnegan was directed to a booth for a spray tan to match the appearance of the rest of the cast. He humorously reflects on starting to resemble an ethnicity he had no connection to.
