CHELSEA midfielder Cole Palmer left fans in stitches after revealing he failed PE at school.
The 22-year-old took part in a “what’s in the box?” challenge for Amazon Prime Video this week ahead of Chelsea’s trip to Southampton on Wednesday.
After correctly guessing a pencil case for one of the items, Palmer was asked about his experience at school.
The interviewer questioned: “Were there any particular teachers or subjects that really spoke to you when you were a kid at school?”
Without hesitation, Palmer responded: “No. None. Nah, not that I can remember.
“No offence to the teachers but not really.”

Someone else from behind the camera then chimed in to ask: “PE surely?”
But the Chelsea ace simply answered: “I failed PE.”
Then asked if it was just the writing side of the subject that he didn’t pass, he added: “Everything. I don’t know how.”
Palmer’s reply left fans in stitches, with one person taking to social media to write: “He’s a comedian off the field 😂.”

Palmer also left fans in hysterics by scowling and shutting down a reporter when asked about Chelsea’s title aspirations at the weekend.
He said: “Nah, it is too early, man.”

The Blues currently sit third in the Premier League table, level on points with Arsenal.
