Several Educating Manchester stars are claiming the show is ‘so fake’ years after it ended
'It was quite staged'
Educating Manchester stars are speaking out with claims on how “fake” the show was, years after it first aired in 2017. It didn’t come to Channel 4 for two years after filming, which meant students like Faye and Melody no longer wished for their episode to be on TV.
Melody claims it was ‘quite staged’
@twistedspinez
Melody has been really open about her Educating Manchester experience. She commented on Faye’s video claiming the show was “so fake” with: “I’ve literally wanted to say something about this for so long, I asked them not to put my episode on aswell 🤦🏽♀️ it’s so mad.”
She also told someone who commented on her videos that it was “quite staged” after they asked if she’d be allowed to wear white socks in the end. During the show, Melody launched a campaign to allow girls to wear white socks, which was against the school rules.
Faye speaks out to say the show is ‘fake’

Faye claimed that she didn’t want the episode she appeared in with her boyfriend, Kieran, to go ahead, “because we were nothing like that.” She then added that they “basically begged for the whole week to put us in and told me they’d edit out my eyebrows.”
She said the show was “so fake” and that she “would have said no straight away” if she could go back. Faye added that the “iconic photo of her and Kieran crammed in the corner was so fake,” which took two hours to get the photo taken for the main promo pic.
Billy says Educating Manchester wasn’t scripted

Billy, who is now an actor, claims that the show wasn’t scripted at all. He does, however, claim that being filmed was “distracting” and that the classrooms being filmed were “made classrooms,” which weren’t usually used for the school on a typical basis.
Twofour Productions, the filming company behind the show, write on their website: “Ultimately we pride ourselves on two things – the quality of the shows we make and the relationships we build with everyone we work with – on and off screen.
“We constantly strive to be a fair and inclusive company, as we know the individuality and breadth of everyone who works for and with us makes the company better,” it adds, while the series “aims to follow drama of teenage life over the school year with student characters.”
