Jeremy Clarkson boasts he owns his personal pub on A-level outcomes day

Jeremy Clarkson has broken his silence on A-Level results day as tens of thousands of students anxiously await their results this morning.

The presenter and Clarkson’s Farm star’s annual results day tweets have become a traditional tenet for worried teenagers as they find out what grades they have achieved throughout the morning.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday Clarkson wrote: ‘Don’t worry if your A level results aren’t what you were hoping for. 

‘I got a C and two Us, and here I am, 46 years later, with my own pub. It opens next weekend if you fancy dropping in.’

The presenter typically takes to social media to reassure students who didn’t get the results they were hoping for that there are still plenty of opportunities they can take advantage of.

It comes as Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said A-level results are expected to be ‘broadly in line with last year’, as she revealed that she achieved four A grades in her own exams.

Earlier Clarkson posted: ‘Morning everyone. Anything going on?’ 

Clarkson’s long-standing tweets have lightened a tense day for many students in recent years.

In 2021, he told his followers he has ‘loads of friends’ despite achieving poor A-Level results in his own exams. 

And last year the Diddly Squat farmer wrote: ‘It’s not the end of the world if your A-Level results aren’t what you’d hoped for. I got a C and two Us and here I am today with my own brewery.’

The Top Gear presenter’s most popular variation came in 2016, when he revealed his results and added: ‘I’m currently on a superyacht in the Med.’

Other tweets have boasted of having a Bentley and renting a grand chateau in France for the summer. 

Social media users last night speculated on what his message might be, with one fan writing: ‘Happy Jeremy Clarkson #ALevelResults tweet Eve everyone. I hope Father Clarkson brings you exactly what we expect.’

The Education Secretary was also keen to reassure students early this morning.

Ms Phillipson said there are ‘plenty of opportunities’ for A-level students who fall short on results day.

In previous years, Clarkson’s annual sharing of his A Level results have always been coupled with a boast of his success

She told Sky News: ‘To our young people receiving their results, there are lots of great options out there in terms of what you can go on to do next.

‘For those young people who get what they need and move on to their destination of choice, that’s brilliant.

‘For those who perhaps fall slightly short, there are lots of options out there. There are lots of people that can be there to provide advice and support, whether that’s the school or college, UCAS through clearing, or the National Career Service.

‘So I want to wish them all the very best, but to reassure them that there are plenty of opportunities that are there.’

Speaking to BBC Breakfast about her four A grades, she added: ‘I had to overcome quite a lot of my life to get to that point, but it was [not] a straightforward journey.’

Ms Phillipson also said she was ‘really surprised’ to hear that students with T-levels are not being accepted by some universities.

She added: ‘I think T-levels are an important part of our system. I think they provide really high quality options for young people around technical and vocational education.’

‘What we’re doing at the moment is looking at the other options that sit alongside T-levels to make sure that we’ve got a good mix, so that all of our young people are able to study for a really high quality qualification,’ she continued.
