AJ Pritchard and Curtis Pritchard have joined the cast of Hollyoaks in their first ever acting roles.

The famous siblings - both trained dancers - will play a pair of twins who arrive in Hollyoaks village to join the new dance school being launched by Trish (Denise Welch).

"I can't believe we will be featuring on Hollyoaks, we have grown up with the show on TV and it's always been one of our favourite serial dramas," said former Strictly Come Dancing pro AJ, who was most recently seen on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

"Our characters are fantastic, and we can't wait for everyone to see how we bring them to life."

Curtis added: "I am so excited to be working with my brother AJ on a show we grew up watching! I am also excited to continue our journey together with Channel 4 and E4."

The pair are in the process of filming their first scenes and will be seen on screen in the coming months.
