Nico Mirallegro quotes:

My dad lives in Sicily, so I'm half Italian and half Irish - it's a fiery combination.

I'm definitely a morning person. I wake up dead happy, looking forward to having my cereal!

When I was six, I entered a talent contest. I dyed my hair blond, had a chainsaw and pretended I was Eminem. The old folk weren't expecting that.

I love film, and I think it's so important for kids to be educated about films and real life subjects that films cover.

When you do 'Mad Fat Diary' or 'The Village,' you always learn about the particular time period, and that's always nice for an actor.

I've really enjoyed my three years at 'Hollyoaks.' I worked with the most amazing people.

Hollyoaks' is where I learnt a lot of the craft, being in front of a camera six days a week. That's certainly an experience you don't get in drama school. It invites you to be comfortable in front of the camera.
