" Nikki Sanderson has revealed that she was slapped for real when filming her debut scenes on Hollyoaks. The former Coronation Street star was cast as Mitzeee Minniver&amp;#039;s (Rachel Shenton) sister Maxine in September, and makes her debut in the soap next week.  Maxine makes her return to the village five years after running off with Mitzeee&amp;#039;s fianc\u00E9, meaning that she receives a somewhat frosty reception on arrival. Sanderson told MSN: &amp;quot;[Maxine] just turns up and expects a cuddle - let&amp;#039;s just say she doesn&amp;#039;t get a cuddle.&amp;quot; The 28-year-old also claimed that she was at pains to make the confrontation as realistic as possible, revealing: &amp;quot;I said to Rachel to actually slap me, because I feel with a slap sometimes it can look really eggy if you move your head and you&amp;#039;ve not really been hit. &amp;quot;I said to her, &amp;#039;Don&amp;#039;t give it 100%, maybe 50%!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Sanderson also promised fireworks from Maxine in upcoming episodes of the soap, saying: &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;ve given me such a wonderful way of coming into the show, it&amp;#039;s fantastic. She just literally lands in the middle of Hollyoaks and decides to pretty much con everybody that she meets on the way through.&amp;quot; Hollyoaks airs weeknights at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first look screenings at 7pm on E4.
