Skins cast 17 years on from Hollywood fame and Only Fans career change to near fatal crash

Skins was an iconic E4 series which explored the raw and messy lives of teenagers growing up in the UK - but where are the cast now? Those who grew up in the 90s and 2000s will fondly remember the iconic E4 series Skins which was unlike any other show at its time with its unfiltered portrayal of life growing up as a teenager in the UK. The groundbreaking British teen drama, which ran for seven seasons and 61 seasons - from 2007 until 2013 - was created by father-and-son television writing duo Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain. Skins was a hit with viewers, thanks to its raw and gritty nature as it explored the lives of a group of teenage friends who struggled to navigate complex issues such as substance abuse, mental health and eating disorders, identity crisis, sexuality and unhealthy relationships during their time in sixth form. The programme had three different 'generations' of characters and was known to change its cast every two years, so it's hard to believe that it's been almost two decades on since we first saw the original Skins gang altogether on screens. Many of the stars in Skins were just starting off in the industry as young teens but several of them have now reached international stardom with their acting credits. In fact, you are sure to have seen quite a few of them in either Hollywood blockbusters, Netflix original titles or hit shows such as Game of Thrones. While some of the cast have gone on to receive Golden Globe nominations for their acting talents, others have gone down completely different career paths.
