At 24, Whitehall has already found fame in the halls of stand-up, on the TV comedy show circuit including Mock the Week, Eight Out of Ten Cats and Have I Got News For You? and in the award-winning Fresh Meat, alongside Inbetweener Joe Thomas.

Bad Education starts on Tuesday 14 August at 10pm, BBC3
