The Traitors star Maddy Smedley is set to join Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.
Maddy rose to popularity starring on the BBC reality show and was quickly suspicious of many of her fellow stars, especially the ones who ended up being Traitors. Following on from her stint in BBC soap EastEnders, Maddy will now be joining the cast of Hollyoaks.
Maddy is set to work alongside Hollyoaks couple Owen Warner and Jemma Donovan, who play Romeo and Rayne. Things have been growing tense on the programme, as Rayne's sinister side is slowly been revealing itself. She has made enemies with Peri, whilst also criticising and condemning Prince for a crime which he had nothing to do with.
Maddy's arrival as Faye will no doubt cause chaos
Faye Fuller is a talent agentMaddy arrives as Faye Fuller, a talent agent with some tricks up her sleeve. Her arrival causes trouble for the residents, as her judgemental nature doesn't seem to bode well for Rayne as she tries to help grow her followers with more fireworks.
Faye is keen to see Rayne on the next series of Love Cave, Hollyoaks' resident's favourite reality show, but will this be possible with her waning social media popularity? Maddy will make her debut on Friday August 18th on E4 and Monday 21st August on Channel 4.

Speaking about her new role on the Channel 4 show, she said: "I’ve had a blast filming, everyone at Hollyoaks has been so kind and accommodated me and bump so well. Faye Fuller is trashy, sassy and a bit cutthroat. I used to watch Hollyoaks and chat about it before school on the radiators. I'm chuffed now to be a part of it."
Maddy was a popular star from The Traitors (BBC)Back in January, Maddy teased she'd love to make a return to EastEnders one day. She played a homeless woman called Rita in for one episode in EastEnders and also starred as Jasmine Madbury in Casualty in the last two years.
"I’d love to be in EastEnders again, I loved working with them," she explained after shocking her fellow stars with her admission that she'd starred in two huge soaps, "It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me, I grew up watching the show."
Maddy ended up missing out on a place in the final - and in a chat with The Mirror, she described the programme as "very intense" and admitted that everything was "heightened" on the show, but she enjoyed taking part.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: "Yeah, I think it was very intense. I think everyone threw themselves into it. So I realised I'm more of a method actor cause I felt like I was on death row, but then I think everything's heightened. So even you as a person, you're like, who was that? Or did I say that? And then each time I was like, oh my God. Very intense."
