Wimbledon takes place over two weeks with the men’s final taking place this Sunday.

So far the tournament has seen the likes of David Beckham, Salma Hayek and Hannah Waddingham attend.

It comes after Kaya revealed there was a lack of safeguarding for young actors when she was rising to fame on E4 teen drama Skins.

The actress rose to prominence on the show where she played teen runaway Effy Stonem alongside Nicholas Hoult who played her brother Tony.

Skins told the story of a group of teens as they embarked on their sixth form education in Bristol, though many of them were more concerned with having sex and taking drugs than actually studying.

The controversial teen drama ran from 2007 to 2013 and it also tackled issues such as mental illness, eating disorders and substance abuse. 

Speaking on the Dish podcast with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Harnett, Kaya recalled being interviewed by Nick when she was 15 and ‘really drunk’ at an underage festival.

She said: ‘You encapsulate that time for me. You were a safe place for us because back then there wasn’t the same amount of safeguarding with young actors, there wasn’t anyone checking if we were okay.

‘Whenever we worked with you, you were always kind and gentle and lovely funny and talented.’ She then jokingly added: ‘That’s enough a** licking for now.’

The cast have kept in touch over the years and Kaya previously enjoyed a reunion lunch with Nicholas and fellow actors Joe Dempsie and Larissa Watson. 

Kaya’s role in Skins came about after open auditions for the show were held near her school in Finsbury Park.

She recalled: ‘So my school had a fax saying they had open auditions for this show called Skins, and they wanted teenagers, but they wanted actual teenagers. 

‘They didn’t want to do what the Americans had done for a long time, which was have twenty-five year olds, or in Grease, like, thirty-two year olds. Yeah. And so I wanted to just see what it looked like. 

‘So I went after school and stood outside the building, just watching the queue of teenagers going in. But so the creator of Skins, Bryan Elsley, came outside for a cigarette, and he came over and he said, ‘Do you want to come in and audition?’ And I was like, ‘Okay.’

Kaya, who is half English and half Brazilian, was shocked to receive the role and didn’t think she would get it given she had no connections in the TV industry.

She said: ‘And I did, and I remember it being a really great experience, but thinking, this doesn’t happen to people like me. You have to have a family that’s really well connected, or you have to be English and I never felt English. And it happened. 

‘I got the part on Skins and that part grew over time and, and I was lucky enough to then get a US agent and, and work over in the US quite a lot, and yeah, it was a weird sort of right place, right time, but it was always a passion.’ 

Kaya’s most recent role was in Guy Ritchie’s Netflix crime drama The Gentlemen where she starred opposite Theo James and Ray Winstone.
