The Hollyoaks girls let their hair down, and got playful at a photo shoot for their new calendar.

Straddling a space hopper, blonde Zoe Lister messed around in the sun with fellow soap babes Roxanne McKee, Jennifer Metcalfe, and Gemma Merna, and Zoe Lister.

The Hollyoaks babes took time out while shooting the 2009 calendar at Thornton Manor in the Wirral, Merseyside.

Dressed in an assortment of lacy underwear and stilettos, the girls revealed their stunning figures in the grounds of the country house, as they enjoyed some downtime.

Luckily for us a photographer was on hand to see the scantily-clad girls at play.

Meanwhile Hollyoaks fans will be pleased to see some familiar faces returning to the Chester-based soap in the coming weeks.

Long-time stars Sarah Dunn and Darren Jeffries return for the on-off marriage of Steph and Max.

Jeffries played OB for 10 years, and only quit the teen soap in February, when his character followed girlfriend Summer to London.

Dunn left for pastures new in 2006 after playing blonde bombshell Mandy Richardson for more than a decade.

Mandy fled when her marriage to Tony (Nick Pickard) broke down following their daughter Grace's death.

The stars are both to return in two weeks' time, when Max and Steph finally put their differences aside to tie the knot in a hastily arranged ceremony.
