Sex Education star Connor Swindells has responded to fans' praise for the 'mind-blowing' performance he gave alongside on-screen dad Alistair Petrie - with the duo proving so convincing that some viewers thought they were related in real life.

Swindells, 25, features in the popular Netflix series as Adam Groff, first introduced as Moordale's archetypal school bully, who also just so happens to be the son of Moordale's stern headmaster, played by Petrie.
