James Corden has revealed one of his filthiest schoolboy memories was a fellow student using a teacher’s desk as a toilet.
The comedian laughed as he recalled the stomach-churning tale of a female pupil at his senior school defecating in a teacher’s desk drawer.
The entertainer, who attended the Holmer Green Upper School in High Wycombe before heading to stage school, said: “We had a teacher. I will change his name called Mr Green.
“And an absolutely true story, it tells you a lot about my school, but a girl took a s*** on his desk.
“I promise you that is true.
“He opened the drawer and she had taken a s*** in his desk, because he threatened her with suspension.”
James told his unusual story during his monologue during his CBS Late Late Show after discussing a story about a professor suing students for selling copies of his business course exams.
He said: “A professor of business is suing his own students. It might not be the students signed up for, but it is a business lesson nonetheless.
“I feel for these students. But to be honest I would still prefer to get sued by my teacher rather than have them try to teach me Shakespeare through hip hop.”
In 2019 the Gavin And Stacey star admitted that he feels lucky not to be a real life Smithy.
James is stunned to be in Hollywood given that his school prospects should have lead him to being a van driver or plumber – like his character in his hit sitcom.
The star, who now earns £5m a year as a US talk show host, is proud to have exceeded expectations as a pupil of Holmer Green.
He explained: “You have to understand the school I went to was so s***, so bad. You know where this thing happens where rich kids have a gap year; if that was my school you worked at The Gap for a year. That was it.
“No-one was betting on anybody at our school. You are going to drive a van or you are going to deliver TVs – that is it. “

He remained humbled by his OBE as it meant so much to see his parents join him collect his gong.
James said: “My mum and dad to go to Buckingham Palace to see me receive such a thing was special.
“They made unbelievable sacrifices for me to be able do this, which I did not even realise at the time. And that is the nicest thing about it. It is incredibly humbling because you are surrounded by people who have done stuff.”
