Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Former EastEnders star Matt Lapinskas will be part of Hollyoaks' Mallorca episodes.
Digital Spy can confirm that Lapinskas has been part of the soap's on-location filming that is currently ongoing at the holiday destination this week.
While the soap has yet to reveal firm details about who Lapinskas will be playing, we can reveal that he'll be causing trouble for the Chester crew as a gangster-type who interrupts their stag and hen dos.

Lapinskas teased he was on the way to a new job earlier on Tuesday (April 5) by sharing a video on his social media from the lounge at Gatwick Airport.
"Fun times. Let's go. Peace," he told fans in his Instagram Story.
New Hollyoaks addition Matt Lapinskas will be a familiar face for soap viewers, having played bad boy Anthony Moon in EastEnders between 2011 and 2012. The actor has also memorably competed in Dancing on Ice, finishing runner-up to winner Beth Tweddle.
As we previously reported, the Hollyoaks cast would be in the Balearic Island to film scenes for Luke Morgan and Cindy Cunningham's big blowouts before they tie the knot.
The destination stag and hen dos have already caused controversy when a confused Luke used the money raised in his recent fundraiser to book the expensive holiday.
As viewers will know, Luke's dementia is progressing so Cindy is determined for the pair to get married while he is still capable of appreciating the big day.
Hollyoaks now streams first on All 4, with new episodes dropping each weekday morning. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, and at 7pm on E4.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video.
