Hollyoaks' Jack Osborne fakes his own death

Hollyoaks' pub landlord Jack Osborne faces financial ruin, and in a bid to avert disaster, takes drastic action.

Jack, played by James McKenna, is at an all-time low and after stumbling across a dead body dead body behind a rubbish bin, he decides it is too good an opportunity to pass up.

Along with Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson), he swap the dead man's identity for his own so they can claim his life insurance.

An insider has said: "Darren's then left with the formidable task of telling step-mum Frankie (Helen Pearson) of the 'death'.

"As Darren's tangled web of lies continues to grow, he's left in an extremely tricky position when he learns that Kris (Gerard McCarthy) and brother Malachy (Glen Wallace) are searching for their father.

"It's only when Jack turns up at his own funeral that Darren realises that the situation has truly spiraled out of control."

Hollyoaks airs every weeknight on Channel 4 at 6.30pm.
