Skins cast bonded through nudity

The new 'Skins' cast bonded over getting naked.

Sebastian De Souza - who plays mysterious Matty in the E4 teen drama - joked that the eight new cast members formed friendships so quickly, they ended up missing work because they were "having massive orgies".

He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "We often missed work purely through having massive orgies! Friendships were certainly formed pretty quickly."

Meanwhile, Sean Teale - who plays popular rugby player Nick Levan - admitted he became very close to his on-screen girlfriend Freya Mavor (Mini McGuinness) as they were forced to get naked together on only their first day on the 'Skins' set.

He said: "Getting naked is certainly an ice-breaker. I mean, you can't turn around and laugh at someone's weird body but it does help. Freya and I were chucked in at the deep end and had to get naked on the first day on the job.

"It does make you closer but in a really weird way. You're just comfortable with one another in a platonic way, it's definitely a bonding experience. There can be no reservations and you become totally comfortable in the company of your fellow cast members."
