An Oxford student who sparked uproar with his gloating reaction to the Charlie Kirk shooting won his place with just ABB grades - and went on to be voted president of the university's famous Union.

George Abaraonye, 20, reportedly posted on WhatsApp: 'Charlie Kirk got shot, let's f***ing go' and added a praying hands 'thanks' emoji.

Another message, said to be posted by Abaraonye on Instagram, said: 'Charlie Kirk got shot loool'.

Now The Daily Mail can reveal Abaraonye, a third year Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) student, made it to Oxford without getting the typically required minimum of three A grades at A-level - after being rejected by at least one less highly-regarded university.

But having won his place, Abaraonye has certainly made his mark at Oxford.
