Yahoo News Jeremy Clarkson tweets annual brag about failing A-Levels
The star told youngsters that bad results were 'not the end of the world'
Jeremy Clarkson has shared his annual brag on A-Level results day, reassuring students that you can fail exams and still live a luxury lifestyle.
The 63-year-old former Top Gear presenter — who now runs his own farm in the Cotswolds featured in Amazon Prime show Clarkson's Farm — has made a tradition of boasting about how great his life is, in spite of disappointing exam grades.
This year he tweeted: "It’s not the end of the world if your A level results aren’t what you’d hoped for.

Referring to Clarkson's recent warning that a manufacturing issue meant that some bottles of his cider could "explode”, one fan joked: "Brewery which sells exploding ale."
But the star replied: "The beer, mercifully, is fine.
"I’m having some now, with my breakfast in the south of France."
Clarkson went to a fee-paying school and trained as a journalist at a local newspaper.
He has carved out a successful career as a writer and broadcaster, landing his first presenting job on car show Top Gear in 1988.
His latest effort is reminiscent of his 2016 message when he wrote: "If your A level results are disappointing, don't worry.
"I got a C and two Us, and I'm currently on a superyacht in the Med."
The Grand Tour star also once shared: “If the teachers didn’t give you the A level results you were hoping for, don’t worry.
“I got a C and 2Us and I’ve ended up happy, with loads of friends and a Bentley."
In 2020 he tweeted: "A level results not great?
"Don’t worry, I got a C and 2 Us and I’m currently building a large house with far reaching views of the Cotswolds."
Past boasts have also included: "If your A level results aren't great, be cheered by the fact that I got a C and two Us.
"And I'm currently sitting in a villa in St Tropez."
