First shots of US version of hit UK comedy The Inbetweeners reveals sex pest character Jay is a LOT chubbier stateside

The US version will be launched in August and, like most foreign remakes of British comedies, it’s unlikely to be a patch on the original.

James Buckley, who plays sex pest Jay Cartwright, might not be too happy with his chubbier American equivalent.

Joe Thomas and Simon Bird, Simon Cooper and Will McKenzie in the E4 comedy, will think their characters are a fair reflection â€" but Blake Harrison’s Neil Sutherland now has that barnet.

Writers Damon Beesley and Iain Morris are exec producers â€" and will be blamed for taking “clunge” to America.
