Former Family Affairs star Ash Newman is the latest hunk to join Hollyoaks.
The handsome star, who played Arlo in the Channel 5 soap, takes the role of Jessica's boyfriend Mark Jury.
Ash, whose real name is Asier Cebeira, was born on July 28th 1980. After working as a model in his mid teens, he turned his attention to acting in the late 1990's.
He was short listed for the role of Jamie in the BBC soap Eastneders, but eventually lost out to actor Jack Ryder.
However, not long afterwards, he landed the role of Arlo Dean in the Channel 5 soap Family Affairs.
In 2004 Ash was awarded the Grand Jury Prize for Best Actor at the New York Film Festival for his lead role in the movie Shem. Ash is the youngest person ever to be given this prestigious award, previously won by the likes of Guy Pearce (2001) and Rod Steiger (2002).
