The NME awards happened the other night (23rd Feb) and guess what? We won Best TV Show!

Big, BIG thanks to everyone that voted.

We were up against some stiff competition: we beat our label-mates Misfits and The Inbetweeners to the award - sorry guys, we love you really!

Sean, Alex, Freya and Laya went along to pick up the gong - here are some pics for you to look at...

And in true red carpet tradition they all looked amaze. But what were they wearing? Freya has a Bolongaro Trevor Dress and Angel Jackson Bag, Laya, jump suit by Paul and Joe, jacket by Bolongaro Trevor, Clutch by LiLiFi and shoes by Topshop. And both the guys have got full suits, shirts and ties by Topman. All hair and make-up by Oscar Alexander, with special fanks to Flutter by Daisy and Rivkie Styles. 

Watch the NME awards on Channel 4 on Saturday (26th Feb) at 11.20pm.

THANKS AGAIN!

Go on with your bad self Nick! We all knew there was a real soul under all that rugby bravado, locker-room, soggy-biscuitness banter, jock fakery - it just took is brother coming back to let it all come out.

When it did it was really good weren't it? Mr Sean Teale certainly knows how to take a golf club to a kitchen cabinet - that is quite a niche skill.

So what does this mean for Nicky? Will he stay with Mini? Are they both messed up enough to work out? Hey, she just can't get enough of that good ol' 'Nick Nuzzin'. Niiiice.

Elsewhere, Matty and Liv are getting cosier by the minute - does that mean that Matty and Franky are off the cards? We saw the way you looked at him in the common room Franky!! You don't fool us.

And their dad, Leon Levan - he's not winning any prizes for dad of the year, sure. But he's probably the funniest/least appropriate life coach we've ever seen. Don't forget to check out his website - it's hilarious.

Anyways, as ever - we want to know your thoughts, predictions, reactions, blahblahblahs. Please. Until next time...

Ok losers, it's time to stop, erm... losing? And Leon Levan is the man to help you do it.

Well, maybe not, he's a horrible human being as we saw in Nick's ep. But if you want to know how NOT to give advice, head over to Leon's very own site and MAN UP!

Man up with videos. Man up with advice. Man up with phonelines. And man up with posters like the wickedness below.

Go to Leon Levan's website. NOW!

Ok, ok, thanks to everyone that pointed out our broken/incorrect videos over the last day, some internet gremlins booted their way into our system and caused as right ruddy mess. Seriously, you should've seen it in there, i'm still recovering.

The good news is they're gone and the videos are all squeaky clean and working correctly again. Hooray! To make up for the trouble, have another video too...

 



And that incorrect Levan-household clip...

So, we're half-way done already - I know, time flies, right? And we've already had lots of hook-ups, potential ships and sexual tension... but we all want more!

Who?

Look at our gallery of relationships and potential hook ups thus far... here it is. We want to know who you're backing, who you ship, who you want to split, who you think will last the distance etc etc. Get commenting, get prediciting - we love hearing what you think, you know? It's really nice.

*rubs eyes in shock*

So, did you see that coming? Reckon you did? Sure? Remember, it's bad to lie - even on the internet.

The big news of tonight then: looks like Nick isn't the only Levan in town. What are these new family revelations going to mean for Mr Rugger himself? Will Teddy Sextramp stick around? Or is he on the next bus out of Bristol?

Don't forget to check out Matty's Myspace

And that's two Levan men in 24hours for Liv - talk about keeping it in the family.

Who smells a rat with this whole Mini "wanting to be mates" thing as well? Not sure I'd be entirely as trusting as Ralo & co. We'll see.

So many questions... what do you think? Love to hear what you thought tonight - spill your ideas down there in the little box, hit the button, sit back, relax.

Whoa, ok, let's take a minute to breathe... Matty? Nick? Liv? Mini? I think we're going to need a bit longer than a minute.

In the meantime, fancy knowing a bit more about the mysterious Teddy Sextramp? If you haven't found it already, Matty's got a Myspace (pffft, he's got to be different, eh?). Take a look, there's stuff he has made plus a load of things that get him excited:

In the meantime, watch this, it's a chat we had with Mr Jamie Brittain about how he writes Skins. Probably good inspiration then, eh ;)

Are you following Liv on twitter? If you are, have a trawl through her photos from last night: looks like she had a properly messy one. Luckily for you... we grabbed all the pics from her night out – follow it with our gallery.

Click here or the pic below to start the gallery

Liv's night this way

It all ended this morning in Stokes Croft by the looks of things at about 8am with Liv making her own addition to the street gallery created by the very talented humans at The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft. Liv’s ‘Liv Life’ work is just one of many amazing pieces around Stokes Croft: the PRSC make some incredible stuff – look at it.

So, you thought you knew Mini? What do you think now? It was beautifully emotional to watch everything crumble around her. With her Queen Bee control taken away from her (with the show, with Liv and with Nick) and her frailties starting to show, she was a completely different person.

Personal highlight? MM X FF outside the party. They ain't all that different, those two. Franky and Mini share loads of insecurities, it's about time they had each other's backs. Long may it last. What was your highlight tonight?

Also, who's that bloke that keeps turning up. Ok, ok, we know he's Matty, but how does he keep turning up? Your theories please...

As ever, we love to know what you think, so fill that little comments box like there's no tomorrow. Don't worry, there is a tomorrow.

Nick and Mini

\m/ \m/

Yeahhhhh, more metal than you can shake a metal stick at. Were you feeling the uber-heavy soundtrack tonight? Don't forget to check out the tracklists to get your RAWK on again later, plus exclusiveness from Napalm Death themselves - yeah, that's right.

Come on, let's be honest, we're all a little bit like Rich aren't we? Who actually likes being told what to listen to? But it is a brave music snob that puts down their headphones and tries out something like ballet for the evening. Even if they are deaf while they do it.

What do you reckon - was that Rich compromising his metal values? Or learning?

Either way it certainly impressed our amazing Gracy. Cute. Ship ship ship, what will become of them? You predictions, please.

And there's one relationship that you know will stand the test of time. Rich, Alo, Ralo, bromance of the century.

As ever, we really love hearing what you think - predictions, reactions, theories, thoughts, confessions, declarations, randomness etc. etc. Go crazy down there all over the comment boxes.
