Hollyoaks has announced that television newcomer Haiesha Mistry will be joining the cast as schoolgirl Yasmine.

Yasmine will cause a stir when she arrives at Hollyoaks High and immediately clashes with Peri Lomax by posting about her family dramas online.

However, Yasmine gets more than she bargained for when Peri decides to play her at her own game – leaving viewers to wonder if this is the beginning of a brand new feud.

"She swaggers through school acting like the coolest of the cool kids – but it's all just bravado. I also love working alongside side the amazing cast and crew at Hollyoaks."
