Hollyoaks star Jude Monk McGowan is working in a gym seven months after leaving the Channel 4 soap.
Jude rose to fame playing evil Liam Donovan before his character was killed off back in March.
The multi-talented star is now working as a personal trainer for The Sweat Society where he puts punters through their paces with his sweat-inducing workouts.
According to The Sun, Jude decided to seek a different avenue of employment when the coronavirus pandemic left a devastating impact on the entertainment industry, leading to a huge decline in jobs.
After temporarily turning his back on acting, the paper reports that Jude is now teaching Strength and Core fitness sessions for £12 a time among other classes.
Kind-hearted Jude even gave out helpful fitness advice for free to his followers on his Instagram page when the gym shut during lockdown.
He was last seen on our TV screens back in March when his Hollyoaks character Liam was murdered by his sister Grace Black.
Viewers saw Liam plunge to his death into a cellar after goading his enemies during tense hostage scenes at local pub The Dog in the Pond
Following his dramatic exit, Jude paid an emotional farewell to his character on Instagram.
He shared: “Nothing lasts forever. The good and the bad
“(And I’ve had the pleasure of being both on this show!) I am very proud of the work we all did on my final block. Salutations to our wonderful Director Graeme Harper – All of the magnificent cast…and all the brilliant crew – they are special on this show!”
He then thanked fans who had messaged him since Liam’s demise, ‘You are wonderful. All of you,” he gushed.
Recalling what an incredible time he’d had on the show, grateful Jude went on: “Some jobs are just that, others leave marks you can’t or won’t fully appreciate until time has passed. This is one of those. I take with me all of the love I was fortunate enough to gain on this exceptional job.
