Yahoo News Jeremy Clarkson shares snap of chateau as he insists A-levels aren't everything
Jeremy Clarkson has told students not to worry if they flunk their A-levels – saying he didn’t do brilliantly and can still afford to rent a lavish chateau in France.
The Grand Tour host, 59, shared a picture of the luxurious pad on Twitter, as thousands of youngsters nervously opened their results.
“A level results a bit rubbish? Don’t worry,” said the TV presenter.

Ulrika Jonsson was also bursting with pride as her daughter won a place at Norland College, which trains people in childcare.
She wrote on Instagram: “So. Oldest female Ungrateful managed to get herself in to @norlandcollege ! For which: hoorah!!
“Very, very proud mamma.
“But equally, there will be kids and parents out there who will feel the painful sting of disappointment today which saddens me because we know our kids are so much more than a number or a letter or a grade).
