Top Boy star looks worlds away from her character in stunning holiday snaps

Top Boy fans who are excited about the show's final series may not recognise one of the stars when it returns to our screens.

Saffron Hocking showed off her incredible figure in recently resurfaced pictures from her holiday in Corfu.

The 31-year-old looked completely different to her East London character in the Netflix show where she plays Lauren.

Saffron posted a smouldering Instagram selfie of her wearing a floral skirt and a crop top back in 2022.

It showed off her stunning abs and toned stomach as she captioned the image: "Bit dramatic (I'm on holiday.)"

Fans were suitably impressed with one writing: "Looking good girl!"

Another said: "You are truly stunning!" and another wrote: "Wowww!"

Saffron has previous acting experience on BBC's Doctors and also had a role as Lima in Smalltown.

This week the release date for the final series of Top Boy was confirmed with a dramatic trailer.

Top Boy is a British television crime drama series that originally aired on Channel 4 in the UK from 2011 to 2013.

The show was created by Ronan Bennett and followed the lives of a group of young people living in a fictional housing estate in East London, primarily focusing on the illicit drug trade and the gangs involved in it.

In 2019, the show was revived by Netflix for a new season, which continued the story of the original characters while also introducing new ones.

The new season was produced by Drake and his production company and was praised for its gritty realism and strong performances.

The show has been noted for its exploration of issues such as poverty, violence, and racism in contemporary urban society, as well as its nuanced portrayal of complex characters on both sides of the law.

Its final series will land in September with Sully saying in the trailer: "If we're not monsters we're food... and I could never be food."

Fans were extremely excited by the announcement with one writing: "Absolutely buzzing for this."

And another commented: "I'm so pumped for this, why does it have to be the last?"
