An award-winning vegan doughnut shop launched by two of Hollyoaks ' favourite faces has announced it will close next weekend blaming the "economic crisis" - although they hope it will only be temporary. Film and TV actor couple Emmett J Scanlan and Claire Cooper launched the Doughhnut Whisperer in Cheshire with baker Stephanie Reid last year.
The business, based in Rufus Court, off Northgate Street in Chester, made the shock closure announcement in a post on its Facebook and Instagram pages at the weekend. It prompted a huge response from "gutted" customers.
It specialises in 100 per cent plant-based, luxury doughnuts. Earlier this year the treats were even awarded the title of ‘best vegan doughnuts’ by non-profit animal rights organisation PETA in its eighth annual Vegan Food Awards.
