First new 'Skins' casting emerges

Effy

Little-known This Is England actor Jack O'Connell has become the first casting made public for Skins series three.

All the show's characters are being dropped in favour of a new batch, with the exception of Tony's sister Effy.

O'Connell, who played Pukey in the Shane Meadows film, will play a "lairy" character named Cook, according to the Daily Mirror.

"The rest of the cast are unknowns," a source told the paper. "Some of the scenes are hilarious - the new batch will start as well as the old ones left off."
