Stage star Sam Tutty has joined the cast of Hollyoaks as new character Timmy Simons.
The 23-year-old is known for playing the title role in the West End version of Dear Evan Hansen, for which he won an Olivier Award for Best Actor in a musical.
The character of Timmy is introduced as a young computer wizard working for Fergus (Robert Beck) on his 'bluebird' scam, which involves hidden cameras filming teenage girls.
"Working at Hollyoaks is an absolute delight," Tutty said. "Everyone has been so welcoming and have been very supportive whenever I have had any questions.
"This mainly goes out to the wonderful Robert Beck who plays Fergus, Timmy's terrifying overseer.
"I feel so privileged to play a character like Timmy. He's clearly terrified of those he works for.
"His poisoned moral compass has led him down a treacherous path and I'm very excited to see what's at the end."
Timmy makes his debut in E4's first-look episode of Hollyoaks on Wednesday, June 2.
