She explained: “I applied for Oxford as I was like the swat at a school, the one who had done the best in their A-levels and all that jazz, beaten the statistics and stuff.
“I went for my interview and I was the only one there who didn’t know what we were going to be asked.”
Despite her best efforts to impress the interviewer, she later discovered she had been rejected from the university.
Recalling the moment, she added: “Do you know what they said to me when I didn’t get in?”
“My headteacher – who was just proud I had got the interview – read me the letter, ‘She’s perfect on paper, but not in real life’. How harsh is that?”
Steph’s Packed Lunch airs weekdays from 12.30pm on Channel 4.
