Hollyoaks star Ayden Callaghan has admitted there can be a bit of competition between co-stars when they go to the gym together.

The 33-year-old actor plays the eldest of the Roscoe brothers, and revealed that he and Fabrizio Santino and Charlie Clapham, who play his brothers Ziggy and Freddy, sometimes work out together.

Ayden revealed: “We all go down the gym together. Me and Fab, the two older ones. The boys are quite young so, you know, I’m the big bloke.

“So there might be competition, but as far as I’m concerned there isn’t! If there was competition it would be for second place! We’re all keen fitness fanatics.”

But the actor revealed he and the actors who play his brothers, all get on really well, and have started to feel like a real family.

He said: “We all started at the same time. We’re all very different but we obviously clicked on a casting basis and that’s part of it, making sure you put people together with chemistry that can work together. They’re all lovely lads.

“I work a lot with Charlie Clapham who plays Freddie so we’ve got a nice relationship. As I do with Fab and Alfie [Browne-Sykes who plays Jason], they’re all nice, genuine lads.

“We have fun but we’ve also all got our own separate lives. But they’re great guys so it’s nice working with them most days.”
