Former Eastenders star Zoe Lucker has joined the cast of Hollyoaks as a series regular.

The actress will play the character Reenie McQueen, the daughter of Nana and the mother of recent arrivals Porsche, Cleo and Celine.

According to Digital Spy, Lucker has already filmed her first scenes for the soap this week, which are set to air in April.

She said of her new role: "I am really excited to be joining Hollyoaks - especially as a McQueen!

"Reenie is a very complex character and will, in time, have a very interesting story to tell."

A Hollyoaks spokesperson saod: "Reenie is a good-time party girl without an 'off' switch and can be exhausting company although deep down she is the most vulnerable of Nana's children.

"She hasn't set the best example to her three girls, who she raised largely on her own and frequently lets them down. Emotionally she's got issues and sometimes it's difficult to tell just who the mother is and who is the daughter."

Lucker previously played Vanessa Gold in Eastenders in 2010 and 2011.
