It would seem as though her time on reality TV show Ladette to Lady was time wasted, as Holly Clements went on a drunken rampage and glassed a woman in Barbados.

Her victim, Dawn, told The Sun:

“I was covered in blood. I was too shocked to feel anything at first, but then I was in complete agony.

“She was drunk and acting like a madwoman. I was completely terrified.

MTV have announced that they are planning to make a US version of ITV! TV show, Ladette To Lady.

Donald Trump’s production firm and RDF USA will remake the format as an eight-part series.

MTV has said it wants to make more worthy “aspirational and inspirational” shows. They are even considering making a male version of the show!

In tonight’s Ladette to Lady, there’s romance in the air for Nicole, more drunken antics from tiny tearaway Holly, and the ladettes receive invitations to their first public event – the finals of the Yorkshire Nations Cup International Polo Tournament. One of the ladettes will be selected to present the Best Pony Award and make a short speech to mark the occasion, but glancing down the invitation Simone spies a possible disaster looming: “2000 people, 11am, Champagne…”

Hosting a polo party for the girls are none other than Guy Richie’s mum Lady Amber Leighton and the hoity toity Derek Laud from Big Brother.

Simone is showing signs of pre-speech nerves in the clip below, and displays her lack of general knowledge by identifying Winston Churchill as the “President or something…..”

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. Read more & comment »

In Ladette To Lady episode three, Liverpool ladette Louise Porter is back! The notorious Scouse ladette from series two of Ladette to Lady rejoins the current series this Tuesday when she gets a second chance at becoming a lady. But glamour model Louise hasn’t changed her ways that much and is soon giving the teachers a run for their money for a second time.

In this clip the girls are woken up at 7am by deputy head teacher Mrs Shrager to do PE as their punishment for sneaking wine up to their rooms and drinking in the day. But Louise is not happy about being punished as she wasn’t even at the scene of the crime…

Tuesday 5th February 9:00pm – ITV1

This week on Ladette To Lady, the girls embark on yet another drunken party! Of course they are discovered….but what will their punishment be?

With two terms of transforming some of Britain’s most extreme ladettes into respectable ladies under their belt, the revered tutors at Eggleston Hall thought they had seen it all. But a third intake is set to be – by their own admission – their biggest challenge yet.

The famous finishing school opens its doors for a new term as its indomitable staff attempt to transform the most obnoxious and unrepentant ladettes they have ever seen.

In Programme Two the girls prepare to host a dinner party for their new acquaintances, the eligible bachelors, but a trip to the pub brings disastrous consequences and several of the girls are left questioning if they have what it takes to complete the course. Read more & comment »

In case you missed last nights first episode of Ladette To Lady on ITV1, we have brought you a video of the moment Liverpool Ladette Charlotte Donoghue decided 24 hours was enough and left Egglestone Hall.

Her parting words were: “I don’t wanna be a lady no more, I don’t like getting like, really like getting up, I like don’t like working and putting my mind to things. I just like doing what I want and doing things and stuff…”

Priceless!

Next week’s episode see’s the wannabe ladies tackle riding side saddle and hosting a silver service dinner party.

Gerard wrote a great post after watching the launch episode last night. Read more & comment »

The definition of car crash TV must be Ladette To Lady – something that’s absolute torture to watch, yet once you start watching it you can’t flick away to another channel.

Tonight was the first episode of the third series, and the voiceover lady announced the ladettes as the most lairy bunch to date. Practically beyond help.

And by God they were. Possibly the scariest creatures I’ve had the misfortune to see. Last years’ crowd seemed positively Princess Di by comparison. Think the sluttiest Big Brother contestant you’ve ever seen and multiply by 15.

However, I couldn’t help wondering about the way the show is constructed. Both in the selection of candidates and in the way they’re ‘coached’ by the frightening panel of experts.
