Hollyoaks star signs up for Love Island USA – six years after storyline on Channel 4 soap
A HOLLYOAKS star has signed up for Love Island USA – six years after storyline on the Channel 4 soap.
Former soap star Charlie Georgio, 27, has taken his career in a completely different direction and has become an Islander.
In fact, when his acting worked up dried up during the pandemic he pitched in and worked there.
Working in the chip shop inspired him to write and release a song in 2021 called Lights, which was filmed in the family’s takeaway called Giorgio’s,
Charlie told Birmingham Live at the time: “Back in 2019 I was doing a lot of modelling and I was doing Hollyoaks so it was a really busy time.
“But then 2020 came and things got quiet, so I started picking up more shifts at the chip shop to stack up a bit of cash.
“The shop is quite well-known around the area. It’s been in the family for 30 years.
“The song is just a message to people in a similar situation to stick with it.
