Jeremy Clarkson

Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has dropped his annual "inspirational" tweet as hundreds of thousands of British students receive their A-Level results. The tweet reads: "Don’t worry if your A level results are disappointing. I got a C and 2 Us and I’m currently holidaying on this boat". The boat in question is the 64.4 metre classic superyacht Shemara and Clarkson has been spending time on board cruising the Ionian islands in Greece. Visible in the picture is the aft deck with a wooden Jacuzzi and classic tender.
