A SCHOOLBOY actor from Horsley Woodhouse is set to become a familiar face on our screens this spring as he stars in the new series of BBC1's hit drama Prisoners' Wives.

Jack Mitchell, who is in Year 3 at The Elms Junior School, in Long Eaton, plays the role of Reece Haines. He is one of three sons of Kim Haines, a new character for the second series, played by Sally Carman, who previously starred in Shameless.

Having been awarded a place at the Television Workshop, in Nottingham, last August, Jack landed the role of Reece after auditioning for series director Harry Bradbeer in Sheffield in September.

He received permission from The Elms to have time off school. The talented youngster said he very much enjoyed his first foray into the world of television.

Mum Laura said: "When we arrived on set in Sheffield each morning he went to wardrobe for clothes, a quick visit to make-up and then to his trailer until he was called for. On set he had his own private tutor and carried on with his schoolwork from The Elms."
