Meet the insanely fit cast of the BBC’s adaption of Noughts and Crosses

The BBC’s adaption of Malorie Blackman’s Noughts and Crosses starts tonight on BBC1 at 9pm. The Noughts and Crosses cast is full of a lot of talented and fit individuals including a Peaky Blinder actor, the fit guy from Mamma Mia and Stormzy. What a lineup.

The six part series is based on the iconic series of books from our childhood and is set in an alternate reality where Aprica colonised Albion hundreds of years ago.

Black people are the ruling elite and known as “crosses” and white people are the disadvantaged class called “noughts”. The series follows the relationship between Callum, a nought, and Sephy, a cross and the challenges they face.

Here is the full cast of Noughts and Crosses:

Jack Rowan as Callum McGregor

Jack plays Callum McGregor one of the noughts who has grown up in Albion. As part of a lower class family he works with his mother in one of the upper class cross houses. But he attempts to escape his situation by joining the Aprican army.

Jack has previously been in Peaky Blinders as Bonnie Gold, but left the show to take the lead role in Noughts and Crosses.

He won a Best Actor Bafta Cymru award in 2018 for his role in the film Born To Kill. Jack has nearly 19k followers on Instagram. He uses his Insta feed for promo of various projects he’s in but does occasionally post a cute pic of his girlfriend.
