Learning fascinating and unlikely facts about celebs is one of the reasons we love working for heatworld so much – and this new nugget is a particularly good one. Alex Zane – yes, he of wild hair and witty interviews fame – was actually studying to become a doctor before turning to comedy. Clever Alex excelled in sciences at school, and accepted a place studying medicine at UCL because he didn't know what else to do. "Because I got good grades I thought, 'Well, I'd rather do medicine than science'," explains Alex. However, his love of doing stand-up soon got in the way of his studies, and even Alex admits his final year exams were "not a good experience". After doing very little study, Alex bombed his exams and remembers, "I had a meeting with the Dean and we agreed that I should get off his property quite quickly.'
