THE end of the academic year approaches – and so does the second series of Fresh Meat. But there’s still a number of loose ends to tie up Josie, having spent the past few weeks concealing that she’s been kicked off her course and separated from the rest of the group, must come to terms with the fact that her secret is now out.

At least there will be no more need for her disappearing every morning to attend ‘seminars’, but it’s clear she’s not in a very good place following her expulsion. Will her friends be able to come to her aid in her hour of need?

Kingsley, meanwhile, is in a tight spot of his own, as he realises that he’s managed to accidentally move into a one-bedroom flat with Heather. Are things moving a little too fast for the budding geologist?

The rest of the housemates are facing their own dilemmas, including Vod, who decides it might be time to turn her life around. Having already had her own future as a student put in jeopardy thanks to her reckless ways, she might just be right.

Howard is in for a shock when Sabine delivers some surprising news, and Oregon’s relationship with Dylan looks like it’s coming to a head. And in the middle of it all is loveable toff JP, who is desperately trying to keep the whole house together as he valiantly fights off the forces of change.

This series has been full of surprises, but it’s been Jack Whitehall’s character JP that’s really proved to have come the furthest and developed the most.

Whitehall, meanwhile, looks at his character’s newfound acceptance of his peers somewhat differently: "It’s a bit like people with psoriasis, where it builds up and comes back, but they learn to live with it. Even though sometimes in public it can be quite embarrassing, and a hindrance if they’re trying to get the ladies."
