Ellis Hollins & Matt Littler Tom & Max Cunningham 2006

Aw – just look at how little Ellis is! These days Tom is a strapping lad at the heart of some of Hollyoaks’ biggest storylines, but back then he was the orphaned boy whom the village residents took to their hearts. While Tom may be all cuddles here with brother Max, he learned not to get too attached to his guardians – Max died on his wedding day in 2008, and Tom’s sister-in-law Steph perished three years later.
