Hollyoaks will be going Comic Relief mad on March 10.
Gearing up for the fund-raising event, which climaxes the following night on BBC1, would-be tycoons Max and OB hatch a money-making scheme that's sure to succeed: the sale of Hollyoaks-themed red noses. However, their activities soon catch the attention of village busybody Tony.
Convinced the chancers are lining their own pockets with the enterprise, he investigates further, but is quickly deflated by the appearance of a certain celebrity.
DIY SOS star and Fame Academy student Nick Knowles decides to drop into Chester at the behest of the restaurateur, but quickly proves the duo's intentions are indeed honourable, and all the money is going towards the charity.
The presenter is perhaps an odd choice to cameo in a teen soap like Hollyoaks, which has previously boasted appearances from the likes of supermodel Caprice and Big Brother winner Nadia Almada. However, over the years the show has featured a surprising array of guest stars that would perhaps have left some of its younger viewers scratching their heads in bewilderment.
Celebrity chef Kevin Woodford made a brief appearance as the cunningly named Kelvin Watkins in a calamitous cook-off in Gnosh in 2003, and, in 2001, It's a Knockout's Stuart Hall presided over the show's suspiciously similar silly sports tournament, Game for IT.
Most unusual of all was an appearance by pop artist Peter Blake - who'd created the legendary cover to the Beatle's Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.
He arrived in the show under the guise of an art critic, but, Hollyoaks being Hollyoaks, he was quickly mistaken for Dumbledore from the Harry Potter films.
