Bailey's character loves his best friend Tony's girlfriend Michelle (also known as Nips) and cannot get her out of his head. Sid's college coursework suffered due to the distraction with Michelle which made his parents angry. Sid's mum left his dad a short time later which upset Sid greatly.

Bailey is currently studying 'Performing Arts' at a college in Bristol and told BBC Radio 1's Jo Whiley at the NME awards that he still works at Topshop during the daytime.
