Other famous faces have also sent messages of support to students receiving their A-level results today, reassuring them that it is not the end of the world if they do not get what they hoped for.
British Olympian Samantha Quek told followers waiting to receive their grades that ‘time is on your side’ – and highlighted her own achievements despite receiving ‘crap’ results from her exams.
The 29-year-old, who won gold with Team GB at the 2016 Rio Olympics, said told one sleepless Twitter follower: ‘I cocked up my A-Levels & within 10 years had an Olympic Gold Medal and ended up in Buckingham Palace receiving an MBE.
‘I assure you, on neither occasion was I thinking about my crap A-Level results.
‘No one moment in time defines you. Relax. Best of luck, & go back to sleep! X’
Quek said that she was ‘not a fan of telling students that A-Level results ‘mean nothing”, but added: ‘If they aren’t what you hoped for, time is on your side & these results WON’T DEFINE YOU!’
ITV news anchor Alastair Stewart also wished students good luck and offered a few words of wisdom.
He tweeted: ‘However you do, remember: in 5 years they won’t matter too much; in ten, not at all; in 20, they’ll probably be called something else.’
Labour MP David Lammy tweeted: ‘Best of luck to those receiving A-level results… Even if they aren’t what you hoped for, keep your head up and dream big because the world is just about to open up for you.’
‘I bought you tissues for tomorrow… thanks mum’: A-level students joke as they face sleepless night before exam results today (but at least there are still thousands of Clearing places)
By Mark Duell for MailOnline
More than 500,000 students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland received their A-level results today.
Sixth-formers faced a nail-biting night ahead of the release time of 9.30am, when they learned if they have gained the grades they need to secure a university place.
Some pupils took to Twitter to share tongue-in-cheek memes as they spoke of their fear, while others reassured them that there are always options whatever they get.
Students searching for a last-minute degree place on results day are likely to find a buyers’ market with tens of thousands of courses still available.
Virtually all universities – including three quarters of the UK’s most selective institutions – are listing undergraduate courses in Clearing on the UCAS website.
Law, languages, engineering, astrophysics, maths and English are among subjects with availability, amid huge competition between universities to attract candidates.
It has also been suggested that top A-level pass rates could drop this year in part due to the rising numbers of unconditional degree offers handed out by universities.
There are warnings that the hike in these guaranteed places could mean students have ‘taken their foot off the pedal’, leading to lower overall A-level results.
In total, almost 68,000 of these offers have been made to 18-year-olds in England, Wales and Northern Ireland this year, up from less than 3,000 just five years ago.
It has sparked concerns from ministers and school leaders, who say the practice undermines the university system’s credibility and puts youngsters’ futures at risk.
There have been major changes to A-levels in England, with a move away from coursework and modular exams throughout the course.
Last year the first grades were awarded in the first 13 subjects to be reformed in England.
