Student celebrates A-levels swigging from hip flask live on Good Morning Britain
A-level results day is here and one student decided to start the celebrations very early by swigging Amaretto from a hip flask on live TV this morning.
Good Morning Britain was speaking to students from Winstanley College in Wigan about their A-level results when he was spotted drinking behind the reporter at 7am.
Teenager James White admitted it was him on TV, joking on Twitter: “Thanks you everyone. I needed it.”
He added: “Proudest moment all day.”

While some Twitter users speculated he may have had disappointing results, the student told The Telegraph he was actually celebrating results of AAB - plus a B in his extended project.
“I knew it was going out live, and was filmed opening my results live on air,” he said. “It was all planned.”
He added: “The flask was full of Amaretto - my favourite drink.”
The student is going to study law at the University of Liverpool - once celebrating his A-level results is over.

That lad on GMB with his hip flask just in case his A-Level results didn't go so well. Love it!
