'Skins' star: 'Finale is end of the road'

Jack O'Connell has described the series four finale of Skins as "the end of the road".

The 19-year-old actor, who has played Cook for the past two series, also revealed that there is a "helpless vibe" to the episode.

"Episode 8 for me was about bringing everyone together, finally, amid all the bullsh*t this year's brought for each of them," he said. "It's cool to see that they're all able to come together and have a laugh, like when we first saw them together in episode 2 of series 3 and onwards. Everybody bar one, that is.

"Every character has grown in their own right, and by the end of the episode you will see how each of them have their place within the group. It may be different to how we first saw them, and with Freddie missing, there's definitely a helpless vibe felt by the group."

He added: "But what's clear is that they are a unity, and will stick together no matter what. Hopefully the audience will feel this too, making each laugh more treasurable. It's the end of the road, a proper finale."

Series four of Skins concludes Thursday at 10pm on E4.
