Two Educating Manchester stars were arrested just a few years after leaving the show
They were both found with weapons on separate incidents
Many longtime viewers of Educating Manchester have been wondering what happened to both Mia and Tom, who were both popular students on the Channel 4 series. They were both arrested for separate incidents in the following years after the show ended.

Mia Peers, who has become a mum since appearing on Educating Manchester, was arrested in 2021 for hiding a gun and ammunition. She was pregnant while filming the show, and was due to give birth to her second child while serving a five-year prison sentence.
The former TV star was jailed for hiding a gun for her boyfriend and has since had her sentence reduced to three years and nine months, following a Court of Appeal hearing. At the age of 20, she confessed to her mum that she had been given the self-loading pistol.
She also held onto the 9mm bullets when she was held at knifepoint by people looking for the weapon in 2020. Peers, who was often praised for being dedicated to her studies and her dreams of becoming a hairdresser while pregnant, pleaded guilty to the two counts.
Tom was jailed for ‘controlling behaviour’
Thomas Eastwood, who always referred to himself as a metalhead on the show, was jailed in 2020. He was subsequently jailed for 16 months and handed a restraining order banning him from contacting a victim, who said he showed her controlling behaviour.
Police saw the victim crying on the road after Eastwood, who was 19, followed his ex-girlfriend down the road weeks after they broke up. He was convinced she’d been texting other guys and took her phone from her hands, hitting her hand when she tried to get it back.
Eastwood was found a short while after an officer saw the victim, and found him in possession of a large kitchen knife that he had tucked inside his coat, which he had taken on a supervised visit to see his baby daughter. Police called him “violent and controlling.”
