Jamie Prince



Jamie Prince is a 16 Year old, who has just finished his exams.

Series 1
Exams are over and Jamie's determined to make the most of his summer. He frankly can't believe his luck. He's crashed a sixth form party, expecting to be chucked out, but instead, thanks to a combination of inebriated reckless abandonment on Laura's part, plus bad lighting, he's about to lose his virginity and finally use that condom he's been optimistically carrying around in his wallet.

However, the next morning, worried that a now-sober Laura may react badly to the revelation he's only 16, he leaves before she wakes. But not before scribbling his number down in the unlikely event she wants to see him again. He's therefore doubly stunned when Laura does eventually call him a few weeks later with the news that he is going to be a dad.

But Jamie's a good lad and he's determined to do the right thing. He's just not sure what that is yet.
