'Skins' stars support new cast at auditions

Former Skins cast members are supporting hopefuls by turning up at auditions for the new series.

Actors including Lily Loveless, and Kathryn and Megan Prescott will be present to provide moral support later this week, while Ollie Barbieri attended the auditions yesterday to see the first round.

Taking to his Twitter account, Barbieri, who played JJ on series three and four, wrote: "Let me just say a big thank you and well done to everyone who auditioned in bristol today. Good luck to you all."

Skins returns next year with a brand new cast for series five and six. The show's executive producer has promised fans more fun in the next run.
