James Atherton: Kissing Jorgie Porter was my highlight on Hollyoaks

HOLLYOAKS star James Atherton says the highlight of his career was kissing
real-life girlfriend Jorgie Porter in the soap.

James plays Will Savage in the teen drama, with Dancing On Ice star Jorgie as
Theresa McQueen.

While their smooch was his favourite scene, his least enjoyable moment was
locking lips with co-star Joe Tracini, describing him as the “hottest cast
member” as he is “always sweating”.

James, who has played geeky Will for around 18 months, said: “Kissing Jorgie
wasn’t bad… I guess! But kissing Joe Tracini was the worst.

“It wasn’t even scripted. Come on, man!”
