It has been exactly 10 years since the very first episode of the "coming off age" hit Skins burst onto our television screens.

The programme launched on E4 on January 25, 2007, introducing us to a new wave of controversial teenage comedy dramas.

Skins followed the "messy lives, loves, delirious highs and inevitable lows of a group of raucous teenage friends" going through sixth form in Bristol.

The programme, which ran for seven series, tackled a number of complicated issues such as depression, eating disorders, adolescent sexuality, suicide, substance abuse and bullying.

The show also made stars out of several of its actors, including Dev Patel, Nicholas Hoult, Kaya Scodelario and Luke Pasqualino.

But where are some of your favourite cast members now?

In 2008, he was highly praised for his role in Slumdog Millionaire and won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance.

The 26-year-old Londoner then went on to star in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel alongside Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith.

It was announced yesterday that Patel was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Role for Lion, a drama about an adopted man who is compelled to find his birth family in India.

Hoult went on to appear in Clash of the Titans, Tom Ford's film A Single Man and Mad Max: Fury Road.

Hannah Murray played one of the most complex characters in Skins, Cassie Ainsworth, who battled an eating disorder, substance abuse and suicidal thoughts during the show.

She reprised her role in 2013, starring in 20 episodes during her career - an amount only topped by Scodelario who featured in 26.
