An A-Level student promised to go boozing after finding out on live television his exam results were not good enough.

The deflated student, from Winstanley College, in Wigan, looked crushed after opening up the envelope and finding out he got two Bs, a C and a D.

This was not enough to get into his first choice, which was Queen’s University, in Belfast, and he may now have to go to Hull University instead.

‘At the end of the day it’s win or lose we’re on the booze isn’t it?,’ Liam told a Good Morning Britain presenter after coming to terms with the exam results.



But one of his fellow students looked like he had beaten him to the drinking after appearing to take a swig from a whisky flask during another segment.

We didn’t find out what his exam results were but we could only assume they weren’t good.

Meanwhile, it was revealed boys had moved ahead of girls this year in terms of top A-Level grades.

Male students scored more A* and A grades than their female classmates, according to UK figures published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).

In terms of A*-A grades, boys were ahead for the first time, with 26.6% of entries handed one of these results, compared to 26.1% of girls’ entries – a 0.5 percentage point gap.

Girls were ahead by 0.3 percentage points in 2016.

Experts had previously predicted changes to A-Levels, which put a greater focus on the second year, would benefit boys.
