Scarlett Moffatt has faced down a troll who questioned her academic reputation.
As teenagers across the country received their GCSE results, Moffatt joked on Twitter that anyone worried should remember that US rapper Pitbull “rhymed Kodak with Kodak and he is a millionaire”.
To anybody worrying about their GCSE results today remember that Pitbull rhymed "Kodak" with "Kodak" and he is a millionaire #GCSE

One follower hit out at the I’m A Celebrity champion and former Gogglebox star, labelling her “brain dead”.

Moffatt silenced the troll as she flaunted her 13 GCSEs, three A-levels and university degree.
The presenter wrote: “I have 13 A*-C GCSEs, 3 A levels and a 2:1 bachelors degree mate. But if you work hard & be kind you can achieve anything.”
Fans loved the response, with one posting she had “battered” Hodges.
She's absolutely battered you there, just walk away
