East tiger! Ricky and Keiron from Hollyoaks are get a bit fruity...


When we found out that Calvin and Ste from Hollyoaks were going to be at the the perfume launch we just had to get our bums down there to interview them, it's a hard life!!! Looking mouth wateringly hot Ricky Whittle (Calvin Valentine) and Kieron Richardson (Ste Hay) talk about their pecs (yum), girls and coping with all that female attention!!


If you had your own fragrance, what would you call it?
R: I think we should all have our own Hollyoaks fragrances – mine would be Calvin Valentine by Hollyoaks! You have to say it with a French/broken-English accent! It would smell of my uniform – steel cuffs and spice! I don’t know! It would smell fresh and clean – because I love clean soapy smells that smell hygienic, not like you’ve just caked yourself with aftershave.

So yours would be called Calvin?
R: It’s a good name – better than mine!

What would yours be Kieron?
K: Romeo by Richardson. It would smell of sweets!
R: So people want to lick you when you put it on your neck!
K: I absolute love Issey Miyake and also the original Calvin Klein, even though it’s a bit old and no one wears it anymore, so it would probably smell like a mixture of the two.



What is your favourite fragrance?

K: What I’m wearing at the moment - Wood by DSquared2 – it’s really nice.
R: Calvin Valentine Steel by Hollyoaks – it smells of steel cuffs and spice and boot polish! haha! I like to play mind games, so I’ve got a girl’s one on it’s a secret so I can’t tell you– it plays tricks as girls come up to me and say ‘I love it’!

So it’s Carly’s perfume - I hope she doesn’t catch you stealing it?
R: It’d be worse if she caught me in her underwear! Good job I have CCTV so I know when she’s coming!

Ricky, does it get cold walking around the set with not top on?!
R: Yes, it does actually and I feel violated when I read my script – I get made to do it - and a lot of my friends take the mick!
K: If I had a body like that I would run around naked! I have tin ribs that’s why I have to wear and shirt and a jumper! It's all about the layers!
R: When we went away to the calendar shoot and he was like ‘No, no I’m too skinny’ but he took his top off and this guy should be a Calvin Klein model - he’s stunning!

Where was the shoot?
R: Majorca
K: It wasn’t that exotic - it rained!
R: There was a lot of working out!

Kieron, do you get hassle off people in the street because you play nasty Ste?
K: All the guys I see in the street love him, big guys I’d normally be scared of, and the girls love bad boys. Even though he’s a wife-beater!

Who gets the most female attention out of?
K: Three of them. Ricky (Calvin), Jamie (Warren) and Chris (Justin).

Which Hollyoaks character do you most fancy?
K: Hannah.
R: Hannah’s hot, but she likes all sorts of random characters.
K: If Eliot’s got a chance so has Ste!

What qualities do you look for in a girl?
R: Sense of humour.
