AN Oxford student has packed in her degree to become an Instagram “influencer”.

Grace Beverley attended a £9,600-a-year nursery and four top public schools, before winning a place among the dreaming spires.

But the 21-year-old has now packed plans for a legal career to become a full-time Insta star.

Her account GraceFitUK already has more than a million followers who lap up her fitness advice and lycra clad snaps.

As well as dolling out keep fit tips she sells her own fitness products and endorses other brands with sponsored videos.

Her Dad, Peter, runs a business consultancy and her mum, Victoria, is a senior curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

They can make up to £100 a post if they have around 10,000 followers, while for those with a following of 100,000 can make £350 per post.

The undergraduate began posting photos online during her A-levels to track her exercise progress.

She said: “I wanted to get fit for summer and didn’t expect it to continue.

 “I will never give the university a reason to think that they are not my top priority.

“I’m extra-careful and extra-diligent and try extra hard in all my work. I can handle it and I can handle the stress. I like being busy.

“I’ve worked so hard to get to this point ... I don’t want to look back and think “I could have done so much better”.’
