British actor Kaya Scodelario has revealed that the cast of Skins were paid the “absolute bare minimum” during the show’s run, due to the majority of the cast being unknown names without previous acting credits.
Speaking on the Really Good Exposure podcast with fellow Skins star Megan Prescott, who played Katie Fitch in seasons three and four, Scodelario described how the popularity of Skins didn’t always match up with the cast’s paycheques.
