oss Adams channels a mixture of "Barbra Streisand, Jane McDonald and his mum" to portray his \'Hollyoaks\' drag queen alter-ego.
The 37-year-old star has relished the chance for his character Scott Drinkwell to take on the persona of Anita Tinkle in the Channel 4 soap, and he admitted the cameramen "treat him differently" when he dons her garbs.
He said: "I feel like a mixture of Barbra Streisand, Jane McDonald and my mum.
"People treat me differently when I\'m dressed as Anita - the burly camera boys look at me in a different way.
"I\'ve never felt that I\'m a very sexy person, but when I have the Anita clobber on, I think, \'Ooh, I\'m fierce.\' "
While Ross is enjoying portraying Anita, his on-screen lover Dr Levi Rochester (Cerith Flinn) isn\'t such a big fan of Scott dressing up as a drag queen.
Ross added to Inside Soap magazine: "Scott is quite tragic, bless him. But I like playing the kind of character for whom things don\'t always work out, because I think it makes the audience root for him even more.
"I hope he does eventually have a perfect romance - it\'s not going to be an easy ride, though."
Cerith recently admitted it had been "great fun" teaming up with Ross for their romantic scenes together.
He said: "Working with Ross Adams who plays Scott has been great fun and an absolute pleasure, he\'s a pure gentleman."
