Who's that boy?

Brace yourselves for a shock... actually, it might be wise to pop that cup of tea down... right, are you sitting comfortably? OK, we'll tell you now... the lad on the left is Mitch Hewer. Mitch Hewer from Skins. Yup, that Mitch Hewer. He's gone curly for his role in ITV1's new musical drama Britannia High, due later this year.

Is it a wig? Is it his real hair? We don't know, but we'd be extremely grateful if someone could enlighten us.

You know, maybe it's going to take time to get used to. Perhaps the curls will look less spaghetti-like when we see them bouncing around on screen. And, let's be honest, we won't care what Mitch's hair looks like during his inevitable shirtless scenes.

Anyway, what do you think of Mitch's new look? Cute or eww? Just use the space below to have your say.
