Find out what Joe Thomas, Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and James Buckley have starred in and what they're up to now.

This week saw The Inbetweeners star Simon Bird explain why he thinks there will "never" be an Inbetweeners reunion.

The 35-year-old actor, who starred as Will McKenzie in the hit coming-of-age sitcom, told Lorraine that he didn't think the show should return with the original cast because of the "awful" things the characters said.

When it comes to leaving things well in the past, Bird might just have a point.

2019 saw the cast members - who also include Joe Thomas (Simon), Blake Harrison (Neil) and James Buckley (Jay) - cause a stir when they reunited for a 10th anniversary reunion show.

Despite their good intentions, Channel 4 was slated for their choice of format and presenter in Jimmy Carr, while some fans were just angry because they thought it would be an actual episode.

Shortly after, James Buckley took to Twitter to apologise for upsetting the fans while Blake Harrison laughed it off in a hilarious Instagram video.

Though a new series of The Inbtweeners isn't looking likely any time soon, it's not to say to co-stars aren't busy working on other projects.

Find out what the stars who played Will, Simon, Jay and Neil have been up to lately and what they've got planned for 2020.
