It’s a cracking start to 2019 for MediaCityUK based talent agency Scream Management who are celebrating a finalist announcement for the upcoming NTA Awards.
The National Television Awards will be held on 22nd January 2019 at the O2 arena in London and finalists include Hollyoaks stars Aedan Duckworth, 17 who is in the running for Best Newcomer as Ollie Morgan. The agency can boast a number of young stars who’ve gone on to great success in previous NTA Awards and Baftas including former Dr. Who Assistant, Jenna Coleman, and Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon who both began their careers with the agency.
Aedan’s harrowing grooming storyline as Ollie Morgan reached its crescendo on Monday, January 7th as his father (played by Gary Lucy) was thrown out of court leaving viewers on tenterhooks for the outcome.
Jessica Bell, Head of Talent at Scream Management said
“We are delighted to find out Aedan has made the NTA finalists. He has had such a brilliant year in this role tackling such a difficult storyline and he very much deserves the accolade. We’re now looking forward to seeing the results on the night!”
