Hollyoaks star James Sutton has revealed that he is working on a brand new "thought provoking" project away from the soap.

Sutton, who plays John Paul McQueen, shared on Instagram that he is "thrilled" to be launching a new podcast called Male Mind Matters.

The actor has described the podcast as "a series of thought provoking conversations with incredible men from all walks of life".

Each episode will feature a different guest and will explore "career journeys, relationships, personal growth, values, vulnerability, mental health, the evolving role of men in today's society, and much more".

It has not been confirmed when the new series will debut, but Sutton has teased that the podcast is "coming very soon".

Several of Sutton's current and former co-stars have shared their excitement over the news. Tamara Wall, who plays Grace Black, commented: "Love this! Can't wait!" and Erin Palmer, who played Ella Richardson, writing: "I'm so excited."

Natalie Anderson and Lucy-Jo Hudson also shared their excitement for the podcast launch.

Sutton spoke publicly about his mental health earlier this year, sharing that getting into fitness training, journaling and meditation transformed his life.
