Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson appears to have defended her co-star as he appears in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here. The actress, who is known for playing Maxine Minniver in the Channel 4 soap, appeared on ITV's Lorraine to chat about her latest storyline on Thursday (November 10).
Nikki is currently being applauded for her latest work as her character was subject to a violent attack while walking home after a night out. Hollyoaks' latest storyline is highlighting the issue of women’s safety. In the initial episode aired earlier this week, viewers saw Maxine separated from her friends while out at a club.
As she ended up leaving alone, Maxine's experience was paralleled to that of a man's experience, showing Romeo Nightingale, played by Owen, making his way out of a venue in a jovial manner, speaking to the security guards before heading home. The incredibly emotive and important scenes featuring Nikki and Owen have aired while the latter takes part in I'm A Celeb.
