Hollyoaks' upcoming stunt week is just around the corner – and it's been confirmed that in amongst all the drama, chaos and practical effects, two familiar faces will join the cast for guest appearances.
Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan will cameo in the Channel 4 soap next month as stunt performers, as part of their Rob and Romesh Vs series.
Their scenes will feature as part of Warren Fox's explosive exit storyline, and photos have been released showing them alongside Hollyoaks stars Jamie Lomas, Jennifer Metcalfe and Louis Emerick.

"It was a real pleasure working with Rob and Romesh; the duo did us proud and their acting chops are not to be missed!"
Jamie Lomas, who plays Warren, described working with the comedians as "a real pleasure and lots of fun".
He added: "They switched into their characters when they needed to though and smashed it! I can't wait for everyone to finally see the episode."
Rob and Romesh's appearance will air on E4 on Friday, September 6 as part of a one-hour special. A short Hollyoaks recap show, hosted by Rob, airs on the channel immediately after the special.
The double bill is the last episode before the new era of three 20-minute episodes a week kicks off with the traditional autumn stunt week starting on September 9, followed by a 12-month time jump which takes effect in the week of September 16.
Meanwhile, the stunt performer-themed episode of Rob & Romesh Vs will premiere on Sky Max this Wednesday, August 28 at 9pm.
As well as the Hollyoaks segment, it will also see the duo meet The Fall Guy's Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt for some stunt work tips, and be trained by the film's director David Leitch.
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
