Shock, horror! Totty-filled Chester soap Hollyoak is set to kill off one of it's sexy McQueen Sisters (probably soapland's hottest family) in dramatic bomb-blasting-style.

In typical soap craziness the girls get abducted one by one, along with their brother and mum, by "secret brother" Niall, and get held prisoner in a disused church - you following this?

Here's the important part, mad-hat "secret brother" then blows up the church with all the TV babes inside it and one of them does not get out alive. But which McQueen beauty we'll be seeing significantly less of has not yet been revealed.

Whichever hot sibling is scheduled for the chopping board, it'll be a huge blow for Hollyoaks fans, and the rest of us that like looking at the girls in their undies.

Confirming the murder plot, a source from the show said: "All that can be revealed at the moment is that there is plenty of blood and a huge explosion. And one of the McQueen clan is murdered."

Touch wood it's not the case, but rather than wait till October (as the soap would have us do) to mourn the loss of one of our favourite TV babes, here's a gallery of the super hot Mercedes to cry over - just in case.
