Actor Ben Richards has joined the cast of Hollyoaks.
Ben has filmed his first scenes as police sergeant Ben Bradley and he will appear on our screens from the end of May.
Ben will appear alongside Jason Roscoe (Alfie Browne-Sykes) as he shows an interest in joining the force and his character will also become close to Sienna Blake (Anna Passey).
“We are delighted to confirm that Ben Richards has joined the cast. We hope Sgt Bradley settles into Hollyoaks village – despite becoming unwisely entangled with Sienna Blake.”

Ben will become close to Sienna…
“Ben soon becomes a mentor for Jason when he joins the police force, giving Jason the confidence that he has found a vocation that he can succeed in.
“Never one to miss an opportunity, Sienna immediately sets her sights on him when he arrives in the village.
“Unfortunately Ben seems not to have been completely truthful about his past and is making a big mistake if he thinks this will slip past Sienna”.
Viewers may recognise Ben from his roles in The Bill (Nate Roberts) and Footballer’s Wives (Bruno Milligan).
