Props to Reeeksie for giving us our first fan photo with a member of the Skins 5 cast. Here he is with Laya. Well done sir.
Got a photo with one of the new Skins cast? Share it with us! Upload your Skins photos here and we'll show them on the homepage.
So, you've met the new cast... and judging by your beautiful (ahem) comments, you obviously love them all to pieces already!
But based on what you've seen of the actors that will play them, what do you reckon'll happen with their characters?
Who looks like they'll play a trouble maker? Whose characters will be getting it on in the first five minutes? Who's going to be a die-hard raver, and who'll be stuck indoors worrying about resits?
We want to know what you think the new characters will be like and what you think is going to happen in series 5 - tell us below. No prizes for getting it right, except the opportunity to show off to some complete strangers, of course.
Freya, Jess, Laya, Will and Alex from the Skins 5 cast were plucked straight out of the open auditions. Were you there too? Do you recognise any of the chosen five?
We want to hear your stories... did you meet them? What were they like? Did they share their last bit of Kit Kat? Or perhaps you saved their spot in the toilet queue.
Maybe you even got a pic of them - if you did, don't forget to upload them in our Skins photo challenge.
Tell us your Skins 5 audition stories below.
So, if you haven't seen them yet, have a peek at the brand new Skins 5 cast.
And guess what? 5 out of the 8 lovely new actors came straight out of the open auditions back in April this year. Freya, Jess, Laya, Will and Alex were chosen from over 7000 of you that turned up in London and Bristol to try out for the show.
Executive Producer John Griffin was certainly impressed with all you auditionees:
"More people than ever turned up this year for the open auditions in London and Bristol and the standard of young talent was as high as ever. It was a huge process but incredibly rewarding and we hope that the auditionees had as much fun as we did. We are really excited about the talent that has come through and we now have brilliant cast of actors helping to create the exciting new characters for Skins Series 5."
Cheers John - we're excited too!
Thom
