Speaking about reading the script for the first time, George, 22, said: “I sort of understood the character and knew how I wanted to play him.

“I think there’s a sense that he enjoys being straightforward and if people don’t like that, that’s fine - I’m quite similar to that.

“We are quite similar in the way we deal with things.”

After the success of the first series of Sex Education, the second, which is available from today, embraces the full diversity of the characters and looks deeper into their lives.

George, who lives in Stamford, said: “I love the show - I knew I wanted to be a part of it.

“The whole thing was pretty amazing.

“The first day on set I was sort of in awe of everything happening around me.”

In July 2015, George suffered a serious spinal injury while playing rugby on a school trip to South Africa.

The accident left him paralysed below his shoulders, but with the support of friends and fundraisers working under the banner #teamgeorge, equipment, treatment and resources can be provided.

With this sort of support behind him, the injury has not stopped George from pursuing his dreams.

“With my injury people were aware of who I am, but now they will be aware because I’m on a Netflix show,” he said.

“I want to say a huge thank you to the Stamford and Rutland community for being so lovely and for their support and generosity.”

A film about a Rutland woman's epic journey around the world will be screened on Thursday
