Naledi Raptou is taking over the role of Kathleen-Angel McQueen in Hollyoaks <\/a>as the character is set to feature in a big storyline next week.<\/p>\n Kathleen-Angel, who was previously portrayed by Kiara Mellor, will unexpectedly grow close to Ant Hutchinson (Brooke Debio)<\/a> and the two will have unprotected sex. <\/p>\n With Diane Hutchinson<\/a> (Alex Fletcher<\/a>) away with Tony (Nick Pickard<\/a>) in London for a second opinion following her diagnosis<\/a>, Ant and Ro (Leo Cole) bunk off school for the day. <\/p>\n Kathleen-Angel does the same, with Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) covering for her. Later, while in the park, Ro invites her over to game.<\/p>\n Ant, meanwhile, apologises to Trina for how he treated her previously and Kathleen-Angel is tasked with finding out if he still likes her \u2013 though she berates him in the process. <\/p>\n An upset Ant subsequently leaves the party. <\/p>\n Kathleen-Angel arrives at the flat to find him playing computer games and then both berate each other this time over their behaviour. Ant says to her that if he\u2019s really such an awful person then why doesn\u2019t she leave. Kathleen-Angel, however, decides to stay. <\/p>\n \t\t Later, Dom \u2013 who had been tasked with looking after the teens while Diane and Tony are away \u2013 finds out that they\u2019ve bunked off and he\u2019s not pleased. Ant claims he\u2019s unwell, which prompts Dom to leave and after he\u2019s gone, it\u2019s revealed that he and Kathleen-Angel have slept together. <\/p>\n In need of the morning after pill, Kathleen-Angel accidentally sends a text to Dodger instead of Dee-Dee. <\/p>\n Determined to delete the text before the policeman can see it, Kathleen-Angel grabs Dodger\u2019s phone but he spots her and subsequently reads the message. She urges Dodger to keep quiet and not tell her mum but Theresa McQueen<\/a> (Jorgie Porter<\/a>) walks in, overhearing the end of the conversation. <\/p>\n Theresa is horrified to learn that Ant is the person her daughter slept with, given his previous behaviour, but Kathleen-Angel urges her not to make a scene because she likes him. <\/p>\n \t\t Discussing her new role on Hollyoaks, Naledi said: \u2018I\u2019m really grateful for the opportunity to join the cast of Hollyoaks, it\u2019s a great place to work and a very nurturing environment to grow.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tDon’t miss a Soaps scoop!
