Heartstopper star Connor plays newcomer Tommy, hitting home how young the soldiers were - he's just turned 21, the same age Tommy was at the time.

In real life, there is one school day in Year 9 that Heartstopper fan Sharan, who uses the pronoun they, will never forget.

James believes the Heartstopper storyline might encourage those who are struggling in the community to reach out for help.

Heartstopper’s author, Alice Oseman, was heavily involved with the Netflix show and was keen to illustrate that the route to getting better isn’t always clear - but is possible with the right support.

Sharan says Heartstopper has become a real talking point among friends.
