Hollyoaks star Stephen Beard has become embroiled in a row with a Liverpool shop over a Nazi costume. The 20-year-old actor, who plays Archie Carpenter in the Channel 4 soap, hired a replica SS uniform from fancy dress store Lili Bizarre three months ago for a "non-politically correct party" in Leeds. Beard then reportedly failed to return the outfit on time and is believed to be refusing to pay an extra £180 charge which the shop claims he owes. Store co-owner Gary Wakefield told the Liverpool Echo: "He hired the costume from us on September 22 and it was due back the next day. He did not bring it back so I made numerous phone calls. He said he did not have the boots but agreed to return the uniform. Then he stopped taking our calls. It is really popular and we needed it back for Halloween. I could hire it out another 10 or 20 times.
