Huge earnings of Netflix’s Sex Education stars revealed as final series airs
NCUTI GATWA may have been the latest to reach millionaire status from the Sex Education cast.
But he’s been firmly joined by his co-star Asa Butterfield – thanks to his £1.4million earnings after completing filming for the show’s fourth and final season.
Asa, 26, rose to fame as schoolboy sex therapist Otis Milburn in the Netflix series in 2019 – alongside Ncuti, 30, and Emma Mackey, 27.
And while they’ve all celebrated huge success, with Emma winning a BAFTA and Ncuti announced as the new Doctor Who, Asa has raked in the cash.
The latest windfall for the Netflix star has driven his fortune to more than £3 million, accounts reveal.
Asa’s company, ASA BFB Limited, has more than £2 million in cash, plus investments including a property, which totals to almost £1.6 million.
The figures, which follow the 12 months up until June this year, show a whopping £3million left over for the young actor after £600,000 in creditors fees.
It puts him ahead of new Dr Who actor Ncuti, who was previously revealed to have made a £1million fortune.
Figures in July showed that the actor, who also recently starred in the Barbie movie, had amounted a seven-figure sum.
Accounts for his business Gemini Moon Limited show that he has £915,000 in cash in the bank and £44,000 in other assets.
A TV insider said: “Under normal circumstances becoming The Doctor is the career move that ensures you never have to worry about money again.
“It’s an incredibly lucrative position and leads to all sorts of spin-off work and acting opportunities.
“But Ncuti has already racked up a small fortune through sheer hard work and some shrewd choices of roles.”
Sex Education is available to stream on Netflix now.
Vito gives Ellie a lift
EX-Corrie actress Ellie Leach and her Strictly partner Vito Coppola are having a ride laugh in the back of a cab.
The duo rubbed shoulders on the red carpet before posing for photographers outside the Pride Of Britain Awards at London’s Grosvenor House hotel this weekend.
Ellie was in fits of giggles as the Italian stallion pulled faces through the window as they set off together in a taxi.
It came just days after Ellie joined Vito at the seaside for a well-deserved break from their Strictly training.
And she gushed over Vito earlier this month, saying: “You are the most genuine and loving person ever, ever. You give the best cuddles and I’m excited to see the bonds that we build over the course of our Strictly journey.”
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One.
Buzz at pictures of nudes
NEVER Mind The Buzzcocks is about to get saucy with a life-drawing session.
Team captain Noel Fielding leaves Greg Davies blushing when he unveils his erotic masterpiece, which looks just like the show’s host.
The group is tasked with creating the pictures after guest Ashnikko admits selling drawings of naked women to other kids at school.
While rival team captain Daisy May Cooper doodles a muscly man, the Great British Bake Off host Noel opts for Greg – but with a naked woman’s body underneath.
Greg says: “Noel, let’s have a look?” to which Noel responds: “Are you sure?”
It’s safe to say Greg will be left in a stunned silence and grabbing his chest when the Sky Max show airs on Wednesday at 9pm.
GEORDIE Shore star Charlotte Crosby has been revealed as Space Fairy on The Masked Singer Australia.
She went international as the character and told judges as the mask came off: “Do you understand how nervous I’ve been? I have been ripping my extensions out with stress.”
A royal split on Netflix
NETFLIX plans to keep The Crown’s fans on the edge of their seats by releasing the final series in two parts.
The first four episodes, which will cover Princess Diana’s love affair with Dodi Fayed and their deaths, will be released on November 16.
Viewers will have to wait until December 14 for the next six episodes, which look at Prince William’s life at Eton and his relationship with Kate Middleton, and the marriage of Charles and Camilla.
The split season is a Netflix first. I previously revealed Imelda Staunton will return as Queen Elizabeth II alongside her predecessors Claire Foy and Olivia Colman. Elizabeth Debicki reprises her role as Diana alongside Dominic West as Charles.
Stand up to herd of cows
THE cast and crew of Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer challenge Don’t Look Down needed some quick-thinking – when they were joined on set by some cows.
Celebrities including show host Paddy McGuinness were filming in the Austrian Alps, battling the elements as they trained on high wires despite thunderstorms and fog.
But it was the local horned cows causing most trouble.
They had to be lured away from the road and production cars with sea- salt after damaging the on-site branding for the show, on at 9.30pm tonight.
An insider told me: “They love sea salt, so the team had to grab handfuls of the stuff and lead the cows away.”
