Joe hit the big-time in 2008 as he burst onto our screens as the hapless, hopeless romantic in comedy series The Inbetweeners.
Starring alongside Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and James Buckley, the quartet earned an army of fans who tuned in every week to see what embarrassing situations the sixth-form students had got themselves into this time.
The show ran for three series and they also hit the big screen with two movies, which saw the lads go first to Malia, and then to Australia - but sadly, a reunion is not on the cards after Buckley exclusively told Radio Times earlier this month that to do one would be "sad and pathetic".
Aside from that, Joe has also played Kingsley Owen in university sitcom Fresh Meat alongside Jack Whitehall, and teamed up with Buckley again in White Gold - a comedy series about UPVC window salesmen in mid-1980s Essex, which also starred Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick.
Joe has also appeared on popular game shows including Taskmaster and Richard Osman’s House of Games.

Who will Joe Thomas be competing against?
Joe has stiff competition in the Bake Off tent this year, as he faces opponents such as Loose Women star Coleen Nolan and actress and comedian Ellie Taylor - who most recently strutted her stuff in the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom, so knows a thing or two about competition!
As usual, Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding will be around to lend a hand (or be a hindrance more like!) to the celebs - although this will sadly be Lucas’ last series as he announced last year he is quitting the main show - and will instead be replaced by fan favourite, Alison Hammond.
At the end of the episode, judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will reveal who is this week's Star Baker - and we for one can’t wait to see who wins!
The Great British Bake Off: Stand Up to Cancer continues on Channel 4 on Sunday 9th April. If you're looking for something to watch, check out our TV Guide or Streaming Guide. Visit our Entertainment hub for all the latest news.
