The Daily Mail thinks Chester is a fictional town

In a recent article about ex-Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter, the Daily Mail referred to Chester as a ‘fictional town’, despite it being both actually a place and also granted city status in 1541.

The DM has since corrected the caption and removed comments about Fakechester, but this has still angered the the Chester Chronicle, who point out that The Mirror made the same error in a Hollyoaks story they ran back in February.

What also adds salt to the wound is that fact that despite being set in Chester, all filming for Hollyoaks now takes place in Liverpool – even the titles no longer feature shots of Chester. It’s almost as if… Chester isn’t real.
