She said: “I got three A*s and I’m now off to drink some champagne!” Phoebe is to head to Cambridge University to read theology, philosophy and religion at Murray Edwards College.
Hongye Guo will also be joining her at Cambridge after she achieved three A* grades and an A. She will go onto study natural sciences at Queen’s College.

“I’m very pleased,” he said. “I’m heading up to Manchester for a gap year and then I’ll be reading music at Cambridge.”
