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.
