Claire's BUST; GLAM MODEL'S HEARTACHE AS SHE HAS TO GIVE UP HER COVETED PLACE AT OXFORD OVER EUR50,000 FEE DEMAND. Link/Page Citation Byline: By STEPHEN MAGUIRE IRELAND'S brainiest glamour model has been forced to quit the world's top university. Curvy Claire Tully is smart enough for Oxford - but sadly she couldn't find the EUR50,000 in fees college bosses demanded. Now busty brainbox Claire is back home after giving up her place studying a PHD in HIV research. The 24-year-old topless model, who scored a maximum 600 points in her Leaving Cert, was heartbroken she had to quit the university. Claire, from Blanchardstown, west Dublin, said: "I just couldn't believe it when it happened. "Because I wasn't a UK citizen I was told by the Medical Research Council I had to pay all these fees which I simply couldn't afford. "The Irish Government didn't want to know because I was going to study in the UK and the charities simply didn't have the money." The only good news, from a redblooded Irish male's perspective, is that Claire is back modelling in Ireland. The down-to-earth stunner, who already has a first class honours degree in Biochemistry from Trinity College under her belt, says she has absolutely no problem doing topless modelling. "I haven't got a problem with it at all so I don't see why other people might." Straight-talking Claire even boasts on her bebo website "I am currently taking over the world with my weapons of mass arousal - my boobs!" Having got her frustration off her chest, Claire said she would consider taking sponsorship from private companies to get her through college. "I would consider it, but I wouldn't like to be contracted to anybody. "I'll just have to figure out another way of getting there," she said.
