Digital Spy exclusively revealed that Ross was writing an episode of Hollyoaks in June, after he shared the news with us on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards.
Ross told us at the time: "I think my episode is going to go out in September. I'm almost at the shooting script stage.
"I've got a really good episode as well, I can say that! I can't tell you what happens but it's a really good episode."
He added: "I'll give you this – he is in costume as a very famous pop princess. You can guess who that is!"
Ross is no stranger to behind-the-scenes work on the soaps, as he served as a storyliner and script editor on Emmerdale before landing his Hollyoaks acting role in 2015.
From Monday, September 25, Hollyoaks will stream first online via Channel 4 each weekday. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
