Jeremy Edwards is to reprise his role as Kurt Benson for Hollyoaks' upcoming 25th anniversary episodes.

The 49-year-old was one of the original cast members when the soap launched in 1995 and left in early 1999, with Kurt subsequently being killed in a jetskiing accident off screen.

Kurt last appeared in 2013 as a vision to best friend Tony (Nick Pickard) but when he shows up at the restaurant in episodes airing in a few weeks, will it be another vision or is he actually alive?

Tony's current storyline has seen him manipulated - and drugged - by his evil dad, leaving him on the brink of divorce and living alone in a caravan.

Edwards will be seen as Kurt in a new Hollyoaks 25th anniversary trailer being released tomorrow.
