Teen shows are notorious for bumping up the ages of the actors. Who doesn’t remember being shocked to find out that 16-year-old Lane Kim from Gilmore Girls was played by a 27-year-old Keiko Agena?

Yep, teen shows always leave you wondering… ‘but what age are they really’, as well as laughing thinking back to how young you looked in secondary school, compared to TV’s portrayal of buff, bearded, car driving, nice clothes wearing *17-year-olds*.

So, to help demystify things for you, we’re spilling the cast’s ages of Sex Education; without a doubt the most popular teen drama on the telly right now.

Asa Butterfield
