Corden - who has children Max, five, and Carey, 22 months, with wife Julia - thinks much of the information he learned in the education system was useless and he’s revealed he spent a lot of time being “terrified” of bullies at school because of his size.

He ranted: “(School) was just f***ing pointless to me – I don’t need to know how glaciers separate.“

He added to Rolling Stone magazine: "If you’re big at school, you’ve really got two choices. You’re going to be a target. If you go to school and you’re me, you go, Right, I’m just going to make myself a bigger target. My confidence, it will terrify them.’ That’s how I felt in school.

"Inside, you’re terrified. But if you’re a bit funny, if you’re quicker than them, they won’t circle back on you again.”

The British comedienne grew up to host one of the most popular chat shows in the world and spends his days interviewing his favourite celebrities on his way to work - during his Carpool Karaoke segment.

Meanwhile, Corden, 38, finds it frustrating that “heavy” people’s relationships are depicted as “kooky” on screen. Though he doesn’t name names, Shallow Hal springs to mind.

Corden said: “I could never understand when I watch romantic comedies, the notion that for some reason unattractive or heavy people don’t fall in love. If they do, it’s in some odd, kooky, roundabout way – and it’s not. It’s exactly the same. I met my wife; she barely owned a television and worked for Save the Children. We sat down one night and we fell in love and that was it.”
