Jeremy Clarkson recycles A-level post with helipad brag

Jeremy Clarkson's A-level results post has returned once again. Despite achieving a C and two U's in his own examinations, this hasn't stopped the formerTop Gearstar. His post dates back 11 years and has become an annual tradition for the broadcaster.

Today, as millions across the nation celebrate their results and getting into university, Doncaster-born Jeremy returned to social media with his famous post. "If your A-level results are disappointing, don't worry. I got a C and two Us," he said on X, formerly known as Twitter. But he later went on to reveal that he was making a huge change to Diddly Squat Farm – one that not many could have expected.

The 65-year-old went on to add: "Here I am today, installing lights for a helicopter landing pad in my garden." One fan responded: "Was patiently waiting for this…"

"You boy! What day is this? A glorious annual tradition," said a second. Meanwhile, a third typed: "Sometimes your genius.... it's.... it's almost frightening.." Another follower went on to respond: "Here he is! Ding ding ding ding!" But Cancer Research UK also revealed that some of their top researchers secured a place at a university via the clearing process.

Responding to Jeremy's tweet, the charity said: "We're happy for you, Jeremy (not so much your neighbours). Meanwhile, some of our researchers (who went through clearing, btw) are turning their findings into life-saving treatments for people with cancer. Head to our profile to read some of their stories."

This includes their Chief Laboratory Officer at the Manchester Institute who on results day discovered he had a D and two Es, but now manages a lab looking at the role of viruses that cause cancer.

Last year, Jeremy used the date to boast about his pub, The Farmer's Dog, in the Cotswolds, which opened in the same month. The year before, he revealed that he was also the proud owner of his own brewery.

But while the Cotswolds now appear to be a theme for him, in 2016, he revealed to fans that he was holidaying on a superyacht in the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, other posts in the past have included Jeremy boasting about owning expensive cars, including a Bentley and multiple Range Rovers, having a dedicated chef to prepare truffles for his breakfast, and renting a huge chateau in France for the summer period.

This year, the proportion of A-level entries awarded the highest grades continued to rise, remaining above the grades pre-Coronavirus, figures have revealed. More than a quarter of entries (28.3 per cent) were awarded the top grades, A* and A –, which rose by 0.5 per cent from last year, which saw 27.8 per cent of people awarded those grades.

According to figures from the Joint Council for Qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, boys outperformed girls for the first time in seven years. The overall pass rate of grades A* to E has risen to 97.5 per cent, up by 0.3 per cent from last year.

The number of students accepted on to UK degree courses has risen to a record high, Ucas figures show. For 18-year-olds in the UK, 255,130 applicants have been accepted on to a university or college course – up 4.7% on last year.

Overall, 82% of UK 18-year-old applicants awaiting a decision on results day secured their first choice – which was the same proportion as last year. In England, 11,909 students received their T-level results in the fourth year that the qualification has been awarded and 91.4% achieved at least a pass.
