Hollyoaks' Angus Castle-Doughty pays birthday tribute to girlfriend Niamh Blackshaw

Hollyoaks actor Angus Castle-Doughty has posted a cute birthday tribute to his girlfriend Niamh Blackshaw.

The two actors played Eric Foster and Juliet Nightingale on the Channel 4 soap, before their departures. Eric was imprisoned, while Juliet tragically died.

Angus and Niamh confirmed their relationship right at the start of this year.

On his Instagram, Angus shared a series of photos and a video of the couple enjoying a birthday weekend away in Paris, complete with essential trip to Disneyland.

In his caption, he referenced John Travolta's infamous Idina Menzel/'Adele Dazeem' moment, writing: "Happy Birthday to the Whhick-ed-ly talented, one-and-only Neville Blackbeard.

"In a tough year, you’ve been a non-stop bright spark. Happy Niamh day, you deserve it all ya absolute rocket."

When Angus confirmed his exit from the soap after Eric's final scenes, he told fans: "When I came to Hollyoaks, I didn't know what to expect, at all.

"I've learned to work, here, and be an adult which is not something I ever wanted to do.

"The other people I'm going to miss are [the cast and crew]... From the bottom of my heart, thank you all very much. I love you all and I will continue to root for this show for the rest of my career."

Niamh called her exit scenes "the best work I have done on the show" and stated that she is now "excited to find the next right thing while also studying part-time at the University of Oxford".

Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.

Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
