Ever since the second series of Skins came to an end, we've been mourning the loss of the super-sexy Maxxie (Mitch Hewer) from our screens. The 19-year-old made us swoon with pleasure with his topless shots and amazing dancing sequences, so we were upset when it was announced that he wouldn't be returning for the next series. However, this morning we've discovered that Mitch will indeed be returning to our screens – in brand new ITV1 drama Britannia High. The show, which has already been dubbed "the new Fame", is based on the lives of students Danny, Lauren, Claudine, BB, Jez and Lola at a performing arts school. As well as Mitch, the series will also star lots of upcoming young British talent including Georgina Hagen (Tracey Beaker) and Sapphire Elia (Dream Team). Mitch has ditched his blond locks in favour of a darker curlier do for the show, and we think he looks hot, in a Danny McFly-type way. As the series is based at a performing arts school, there's sure to be plenty of opportunity for Mitch to show off those impressive dancing skills we all got so excited about. Britannia High will begin in the autumn – and we can't wait to see more of sexy Mitch in action.
