On Nick:
"I got linked to Nicholas Hoult when he was in Skins. I was 14 at the time and played his sister! For the record, I’ve never been married to Nick Hoult. I did go out with Jack [who plays Cook] for a year and we were open about that in the press. Filming is an intense environment so it’s natural that relationships happen. We had a good time and I loved him a lot. He was a great first love and we’re still good mates, which is amazing considering most people hate each other when they split up. I was nervous about working with him after we split but it was amicable so we slipped back to being friends very easily."
On body image:
"Being on screen means we’re forced to scrutinise ourselves more than most women. I had terrible self-confidence when I was younger. I was paranoid about being too skinny, I had no boobs and looked like a boy. It got to the point where I wouldn’t wear short sleeves because I hated my skinny arms. I remember filming my first scene in a bikini and I cried and cried. But, as I’ve got older and met some new mates who helped boost my confidence, I’ve accepted that everyone is beautiful in different ways. And a padded bra works wonders!"
On her ex-boyfriend, Jack O'Connell:
"I really could have married him, but it was much too young. And then it broke my heart. I spent a week in my bedroom crying thinking it would never get better. But i’ve learnt so much from it and i’ve gotten so much stronger."
On the character of Effy:
"She's speaking now, which is an improvement! Effy's always trying to help people but in her own weird way which I like about her. She's grown up over the past two years. She's starting college so she's got a new bunch of people to play with; she's working out who she wants to be friends with and who she wants to sleep with..."

If I see another person saying 4x05 was the best Skins episode ever, I'm gonna go insane, so I thought I'd share with you the enormous mistakes the writers have made with Effy's character.
According to the symptoms Effy had in her episode, she is not only psychologically depressed, she is schizophrenic.
Here is the diagnosis for schizophrenia:
People diagnosed with schizophrenia usually experience a combination of positive (i.e. hallucinations, delusions, racing thoughts), negative (i.e. apathy, lack of emotion, poor or nonexistant social functioning), and cognitive (disorganized thoughts, difficulty concentrating and/or following instructions, difficulty completing tasks, memory problems).
The reason I bring this up is not to start a shipping war, I am only doing this because Effy Stonem is my favorite chracter and I think it's a shame they're treating her like this.
