Robbie Williams is gearing up to go back to school and resit his GCSEs.

If he can fit in his studies around a best-selling world tour and awards season, that is.

Williams - whose single Forbidden Road from his new biopic Better Man, is up for Best Original Song at next month's Golden Globes - has been busy Googling home education options, according to The Sun.

"I've been wanting to set up a university," he said, "but, actually, I wouldn't be able to attend if and when I do, because I didn't get any GCSEs.

"I got nothing higher than a grade D, and everything else I failed or I didn't turn up for. I really want to go back and get them.

"I can't remember my English teacher's name, but I was thinking there might be an interesting TV show in it, where I have to go back to school - obviously in an age-appropriate way!"

Aged 16, Williams was plucked from the classroom and rocketed to superstardom as part of the boy band Take That.

"All my life I've felt really stupid because we didn't know about dyslexia in the '70s and '80s in Stoke-on-Trent.

"I've got dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, but we didn't have those then, so I left school thinking I was a dumb-dumb and it's taken ages to get over that."
