Wretch told The Sun that his lack of acting experience meant he had to “style it out”. He said:

No-one had any idea, there were a lot of priceless looks. I’ve only ever acted in school so I couldn’t really ask for tips or the stars would have laughed at me.

It’s not the first time a star from the music world has aligned themselves with the duff Channel 4 soap – bands such as The Courteeners and The Guillemots appeared on spin-off The Hollyoaks Music Show back in 2008.

Meanwhile, [a]Wretch 32 has gigs in Liverpool and London lined up for next month, before supporting Example on his UK arena tour in April 2012.
