Maddy Smedley stole the hearts of the nation during her stint M on BBC One show The Traitors, where, as a righteous Faithful, she was determined to identify the baddies in the castle.
Despite her admirable sleuthing, she found time to regularly remind her fellow contestants that she'd once had a couple of minor acting roles - her favourite being a one-off appearance in EastEnders playing a homeless woman. Now the former care home worker is heading for the bright lights of Hollyoaks and is showing off her acting chops as a completely different character.
Maddy is making a guest appearance on the Channel 4 soap as Faye Fuller, a talent agent hired to work with influencer Rayne Royce (played by Jemma Donovan). "She's trashy, sassy and a bit cutthroat," Maddy says. "She's a bit more brutal than me in real life. She's like Del Boy mixed with Deborah Meaden."
