TV fans might recognise Zoe Lister from her time spent on the much loved soap Hollyoaks but she's also the voice of the famous advert.
Who is Zoe Lister?
Zoe, 43, is an English actress and writer who played Zoe Carpenter In Hollyoaks from 2006 to 2010, with a brief return in April 2017.
She also served as a writer on the show from 2014 to 2024, penning 56 episodes.
As an actress, Zoe has appeared in shows such as Midsomer Murders, Crime Stories and Staff Room.
And as a writer, she has contributed scripts to shows such as The Worst Witch, The Dumping Ground and Zero Chill.
Zoe also appeared as a guest on Big Brother's Little Brother and also presented at T4 On The Beach.
She also toured the UK in the comedy play Teechers and she played Lady Macbeth at the Liverpool Royal Court for which she received critical acclaim.
The Jet2 advert
Zoe is also a voice over artist and has revealed on TikTok that she is the voice behind the "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" campaign.
She explained in the video post that it isn't art, she just basically sits in a chair and records the words that somebody else has written.
Fans flocked to comment on the revelation and one said: "I just hear your voice now and two old blokes fighting over a sun bed!"

Another added: "Honestly thought it was Holly Willoughby's voice!"
"Omg wasn't she is hollyoaks?!!" exclaimed another poster.
While a fourth added: "Mind blown never knew it was Zoe from Hollyoaks!"
Why has the advert gone viral?
The jingle has been used as the audio sound to use on holiday videos, often when things go wrong, on TikTok.
And it has gone viral all over UK TikTok, with over 100M views and 36,000 posts.
The audio also features Jess Glynne's hit song 'Hold My Hand'.
This catchphrase and Zoe's narration are often associated with dangerous travel mishaps and weird holiday experiences.
There has been a video post of a camel attacking a person while the Nothing Beats a Jet2 Holiday meme audio plays in the background.
There have also been memes of people fighting on a plane or people throwing towels off a sun lounger into a swimming pool.
TikToker's have also been dramatically lip syncing along to the advert when things go wrong in everyday life.
Most of these incidents don't appear to have taken place on Jet2 holidays, and there's no allegations of wrongdoing on Jet2's part.
Meanwhile, Jet2 will launch exclusive new flights from the UK to two affordable Spanish cities.
And passengers flying with TUI, easyJet, Ryanair or Jet2 this summer are being urged to check the full list of banned food and drinks before heading to the airport.
Plus, she has made history as the British female solo artist with the most UK No1s – an impressive total of seven.
But even that hasn't been enough to save Jess Glynne's record deal, as she has split from her label after just one album.
