Les Sutton's daughters, Anna and Emily, now 23 and 20, say their dad did better than he thought.

Anna was really nervous ahead of her results coming out, and spent the morning in front of her computer waiting for them to drop.

Les drove her to college to collect them in person, which Anna says made her feel really supported.

Anna narrowly missed out on the offer Salford University , but admissions staff decided to show leniency and accepted anyway.

Emily got a place to study criminology at Salford University , but a few months in she realised the course wasn’t for her and decided to leave.

Les says he wishes he had known more so he could have offered more advice.

Stevie says parents need to make sure their teenagers know that things can work out fine.
