A-Level student spotted taking cheeky swig from a hip-flask live on Good Morning Britain

The pupil started celebrations early and on camera 

One A-Level pupil kick-started his celebrations early by taking a cheeky swig from a hip-flask.

Unfortunately for James White from Winstanley College in Wigan, the furtive sip after he opened his results was broadcast live on Good Morning Britain.

As presenter Katy Rickett chatted to two girls about the pressures of their final exams, Mr White could be seen in the background lifting a hip-flask from behind his results envelope and taking a gulp.

Plenty of GMB viewers were amused by his cheeky behaviour, calling him a ‘lad’.

“A guy on Good Morning Britain just opened his A level results then pulled out a hip flask yes lad [sic]”, wrote Kizzy Blackburn.

Despite his results apparently turning him to drink, the 18-year-old revealed he was successful in his exams and amaretto is his tipple of choice.

White said: "I did well. AAB, plus a B in my extended project. Heading off to my first choice of university - The University of Liverpool, to study law. I'm thrilled with my results".

"The flask was full of Amaretto - my favourite drink," he confessed.

The student certainly saw the funny side and rewteeted praise from viewers on his Twitter page.

White wasn’t the only Winstanley pupil to have an embarrassing moment on camera. Liam Scroggie opened his results live on air only to discover he hadn’t achieved the A and two Bs he needed to secure a place to study politics at Queen’s University.

When asked if he was happy with the results he replied: ” No, I got a B, a C, a B and a D. I don’t know what will happen now.”
