His triumph at the Emmys made history - but away from the TV screens, Adolescence star Owen Cooper's life is still far removed from the glamour of Hollywood.

The 15-year-old - due back at school in his home town of Warrington, Cheshire tomorrow after flying back from Los Angeles with his parents - has the acting world at his feet following his acclaimed performance in the Netflix drama.

But the teen acting sensation won't be taking his Emmy into school - out of fear it will be stolen.

As he held the gong at the official press conference, he was asked if he would be showing it off to his classmates, and replied: 'This will get robbed in my school. No chance. I am definitely not taking it to school. No, no, no.'

While his salary for the role of schoolboy Jamie Miller, an intelligent, outwardly ordinary, teenage boy accused of murdering a girl in his class, has not been made public, he is thought to have earned less than £40,000 for the four-part mini-series.
