UPDATE: We have a great clip from this week’s Ladette To Lady show here.

This week in Ladette To Lady, the remaining girls wake up to find that Kelly has packed her bags and fled under the cover of darkness.

Her departure has incensed the staff. Mrs Shrager says: “We believed in her and she has thrown it back in our faces. They said they want to come and become ladies and this is the way we do it. It’s tough but we get results.”

As the four remaining ladettes efforts begin to wane, Principle Gill Harbord decides to spring the ultimate twist to stir up competition – the return of former ladette Louise Porter.

Notorious Scouse ladette from series two, Louise has been invited back to Egglestone Hall for a second chance. She showed natural aptitude in class last year, but booze was her downfall and she was expelled from the school after a drunken cat fight. She went on to become a lads’ mag glamour model complete with a boob job – much to the teachers disapproval.

“No repeats of last year,” says Louise upon her return. But Neema, Nicole, Holly and Simone don’t exactly welcome her with open arms and Louise is left feeling the outcast.

“It’s weird for me because I feel like I’ve come in to another group and I just have to try and change, it’s hard.”

The ladettes’ next challenge is a weekend away hosted by Lady Apsley at society country house Cliveden. The girls are set to join the bachelors for drinks beside the pool, then they will have to impress the cream of high society at a lavish drinks reception and dinner.

In preparation for Cliveden, the girls’ lessons include plucking and preparing wood pigeon – something Louise excels at, having done it once before already, much to the annoyance of the others.

Nicole says: “She’s just some stranger coming in, it’s different and it’s going to be getting used to her. Let’s just see what happens, she might get expelled again!”

But the touchpaper has been lit, and before long rebellion begins with the four ladettes drinking in the dorms whilst Louise works hard. Their punishment? A PE lesson at seven o’clock the next morning!

Despite a promising start it’s not long before Louise reverts back to her defiant ways and storms out of the PE lesson – refusing to take part in a punishment she didn’t deserve.

“It just feels like everyone just wants to go home,” says Louise “so I’m not being a kn*b head and putting myself through this.” Finally the ladettes see she’s one of them and win her round.

Next stop – Cliveden – and the girls, despite looking like ladies, hardly behave like them as Neema and Holly corrupt the boys in the Jacuzzi, and yet again more booze results in a game of spin the bottle.

The bachelors take a shine to busty blonde Louise much to Nicole’s displeasure, but in spite of all the unladylike behaviour there are two success stories of the weekend – Holly manages to redeem herself and stay sober over dinner, and Simone finally feels like she could transform in to a lady.

But for one ladette, the journey ends here, as yet again the teachers decide who will be leaving this week.
