CAMBRIDGE bound supermodel Lily Cole has revealed she missed half of her classes at school.

The 19-year-old has been speaking about her time at school having finished filming a new adaptation of St Trinian’s. Lily, who was schooled in London, said: “I missed about 50 per cent of my classes.”

However, she was still clever enough to land a place at Cambridge University, where she is set to study social and political sciences.

She added: “I was always the first to hand in my work because I knew if I was late the teachers would come down on me like a ton of bricks. Modelling is great, but studies came first.”

The 5ft 11in model recently achieved three A-levels and two AS-levels and has won a place at King’s College, Cambridge, where she plans to start a degree in social and political science next year.

Talent-spotted at 15, she has been the “face” for leading labels including Hermes, Moschino, Lacroix and Prada.
