Nick Hoult has revealed that he decided to quit school when a second series of Skins was commissioned.
The 17-year-old actor, who plays lothario Tony in the teen drama series, realised that his grades would suffer if he attempted to slot school work around his Skins filming schedule.
He told Heat: “The (Skins) viewing figures were good, so they said they were going again. I decided to leave school at that time because I realised I would never get good grades working so much. I can always go back and do my A-levels.”
The second series of Skins, which began shooting in Bristol earlier this summer, is expected to air on E4 in January.
