From Cheryl to Gemma Collins, these celebs got rubbish GCSEs but went on to become millionaires
IT'S that fateful time of year again - students across the country will receive their GCSE results after two years of hard work.
It can be a stressful time for many, especially if your results don't match up to your expectations.
If you were hoping for straight As and ended up with far worse or missed out on a place at sixth form or college because of your results, it can be difficult to know what to do next.
Luckily, there are loads of famous faces who have been in the same situation and went on to achieve great things, eventually becoming some of the UK's most beloved stars.
These are the big names who didn't pass their GCSEs with flying colours but went on to be successful anyway.

Scarlett Moffatt
Scarlett Moffatt is a beloved television star with presenting credits including the National TV Awards, a best-selling fitness DVD and two books under her belt.

In 2016, she tweeted: "Good luck everyone! Don’t panic, it took me 3 attempts to finally pass Maths to get into University. Just don’t give up!"

Simon Cowell
Before he created some of the most successful singing competitions ever, including The X Factor, Pop Idol, America and Britain's Got Talent, Simon flunked his school exams.

Olly told his Twitter followers: "Wow it’s GCSE results today! Don’t be scared, Don’t be worried!
"These results will not define you as a person or predict your future! To make you feel better check mine out if you believe you can achieve!”
Estimated net worth: £4.5 million
Kate Moss
The high-flying super model is worth an estimated $80 million, making her one of the highest paid models in the world.
