Babies born in August – are more likely to have a tough time at school.

They are 20 per cent less likely to go to a leading university compared with friends born in September.

And kids born in August are also more likely to be bullied or be unhappy at school, research by the Institute For Fiscal Studies has discovered.

It is thought that the school term starting in September is to blame because August-born kids are in the same year as those born in September – but they are almost 12 months younger.

Other studies have shown September babies have a greater chance of becoming sports stars. And if you are born in certain months you tend to go into certain professions. So does a date really make such a big difference?

Here, JENNA SLOAN reveals how the month you are born in could make or break your life – and finds out which celebs could be affected.
