HOLLYOAKS ANNOUNCE SPECIAL DOUBLE EPISODE WHERE SECRETS ARE EXPOSED

During a special double episode set to air next Wednesday (8th July), newly returned Leah Barnes and her fiancé Imran Maalik invite their closest friends - Vicky Grant, Prince McQueen, Frankie Osborne, and Caleb Keane to an elegant dinner party that will leave them facing life-changing decisions.

Leah and Imran welcome their guests aboard their newly refurbished houseboat for what appears to be a glamorous evening of fine dining. But once the hired staff depart, the real reason for the gathering is revealed.

With plans already in motion for her latest business venture, Leah presents her friends with a big proposition - confess a secret you've been carrying and receive £100,000 in return, all in the name of scientific research with Leah opening up about her own experiences in America revealing that things initially failed to live up to expectations until a university lecturer recognised her potential.

The pair are now collaborating on research exploring whether a digital confessional booth app could have genuine benefits by allowing users to anonymously unburden themselves of the secrets they carry.

As part of the study, her friends are asked to record a private video confession, securely encrypted and accessible only to them, before taking part in monthly follow-up sessions to assess the emotional impact.

With the aim of research to examine whether simply voicing a secret aloud, even if nobody else ever hears it, can improve a person's emotional wellbeing. Despite Leah's assurances that their confessions will remain completely confidential, not everyone is convinced…

The special double episode sees Vicky, Frankie, Prince and Caleb wrestle with whether to take part in the experiment forcing them to confront the truths they've kept hidden some even from themselves.

As the night unfolds, viewers are taken deep inside the minds of all six characters as dark truths emerge, buried secrets resurface and lies continue to spiral out of control.

With relationships pushed to breaking point and loyalties tested like never before, one question remains: Will any of their lives ever be the same again?

Viewers can watch the special double episode on Wednesday 8th July airing at 7pm and 7.30pm on E4 with both episodes available to stream from 7am on Channel 4.
