Mahnoor Cheema, 18, has an IQ of 161 – higher than Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein – and received an unconditional offer to study medicine at the University of Oxford.

After sitting 34 GCSEs, Ms Cheema, who attended Henrietta Barnett School in north-west London, decided she wanted to study 31 A-levels.

But she settled on doing less, after worries from teachers that she was taking on too much.

She completed four A* in her first two months at the sixth form, and this week learned she had achieved A*s in law and history as well as grades in French and physics, according to the Mail Online.

The teen studied psychology, sociology, law, business, accounting, economics, Latin, German, computer science, film studies, politics, classical civilisation, maths, further maths, geography and media studies, physics, chemistry, biology, English literature, film studies, French, statistics and accounting. 

She says she has no regrets and would be “bored and understimulated” if she only did the standard three A-levels – and said burnout is “a choice”.

Speaking previously, the grammar school pupil, from Slough, Berkshire, said: “Absorbing content and analysing and evaluating things comes naturally to me.

“I’m busy, but I don’t take on so much that it’ll cause me stress or pressure – I try to do everything within my capabilities.

“I have loads of interests; that’s why I wanted to do so many subjects – it doesn’t take that much time or effort.

“I think if you have the capability to do more, it should be explored – I would be bored doing only three subjects over two years.

“Burnout is a big thing for some people, but I’m just motivated and driven, and it doesn’t affect me.

“I see burnout as a choice – it’s not burnout if you enjoy what you’re doing.”

Ms Cheema was born in the UK before moving to Lahore, Pakistan with her parents in 2010.

Her family then moved back to the UK in 2016, and mum Tayyaba Cheema, 44, a full-time mum with a master’s in economics, said Ms Cheema was “quite different” from a young age.

By the age of six, Ms Cheema had read all seven Harry Potter books, and, by 11, had learned the entire Oxford English Dictionary “by heart”.

Ms Cheema, who dreams of doing a TED talk one day, said last year: “I just read the book and it goes into my head.

“I don’t really take notes – I find them to be a waste of time. I don’t think my memory is photographic, but it’s good.”

Her favourite subjects were maths and sciences.

Speaking previously, she said: “The main enjoyment for me is studying the subject and the rich knowledge – the exam is just the qualification.

“A big misconception is I’m just an exam robot, but loads of the subjects I do require analysis too.

“For film studies, I have to create a film, edit, write the script. And with English you have to develop your own critical stance.”

Ms Cheema has an unusual sleep routine, going to bed for three hours after school, getting up at 7pm, and going back to bed at 2am, she said previously.

Tayyaba creates a study timetable for Ms Cheema to keep her on track, making sure she makes time to see friends, travel and enjoy hobbies.

But Tayyaba said there is “no pressure” from her or her husband, Usman Cheema, 49, a barrister, for Ms Cheema to do anything more than what she wants to.

Tayyaba said: “I have given her the choice, I just say ‘whatever you do in life, do it the best you can’.”

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are set to return to Prime Video’s The Grand Tour, according to The Sun.

The three stars, known for presenting BBC’s Top Gear, will join YouTubers Thomas Holland and James Engelsman in series seven, which will debut on September 4.

The petrol enthusiasts are expected to help ensure the show’s reboot gets off to a smooth and welcoming start, according to co-creator and TV producer Andy Wilman.

Mr Wilman, who is also executive producer of Clarkson’s Farm, told The Sun that the guys will do cameos as they “pass that baton on”.

This will be the first time in almost two years the Top Gear originals, who went their own ways professionally, will be seen together, after the final Grand Tour episode aired on September 13, 2024.

The 61-year-old dancer was on holiday in Madrid when he claims to have been stabbed, had jewellery stolen and strip searched for drugs on his way out of Spain.

Speaking on the Judgemental podcast, which he hosts with fellow Strictly judge Anton Du Beke, Mr Revel Horwood said: “I went on holiday in Madrid and got stabbed, that was nice, and it was stinking hot.

“My jewellery was stolen as well, they ripped my necklace off my neck and gave me a big burn mark…

“It was a razor blade… I was slashed… (in the) stomach coming home from a club, it was probably two o’clock in the morning, but that’s sort of normal, you go out for dinner at 10 or 11.

“But I remember I was dancing at the Lido in Paris, and we went to Madrid for a holiday, so that ended up pretty bad.

“And then when I got back, I got strip-searched. I hadn’t shaved, so I did look a bit of a wreck, I’d been stabbed, I had burn marks all around my neck from where I was, like, attacked.

“And then the French strip searched me down to literally nothing…. they were looking for drugs.”

Revel Horwood went on to say that disaster also struck during a trip to Mombasa in Kenya, where he found out his hotel had burned down when he arrived at the airport.

He added: “I remember flying to Mombasa in Kenya. It was all fabulous, I thought, ‘oh yeah, I’m going on safari, that’s going to be nice’.

“Got out there, arrived, all the hotels and everything were paid for in advance, they’re giving us a like a bus from the airport to the hotel, and they said on arrival, ‘your hotel has burnt down’…

“The hotel was burnt down, and no one bothered to tell us until we actually arrived.

“Anyway, they found us another one, they just shoved us in there, (and) I went on, you know, a very romantic cruise down the River Nile…

“Then the next day we all had to go to the airport and leave all the crews, and one by one, when we’re standing in the queue at the airport, people just were falling to the ground, literally dropping, like boom.”

He went on to say that the sickness was later revealed to be salmonella poisoning from “off chicken” those on the trip had eaten the night before.

Mr Revel Horwood has several links to Oxford, having visited The Jolly Farmers multiple times during his Annie run, earning praise from the owner as being very “charming”.

He has also starred as Miss Hannigan in the production of Annie in April 2023, and directed/choreographed Now That’s What I Call a Musical, slated for March 2025 at the New Theatre.

The new series of Strictly will air on BBC One and iPlayer this September.
