UPDATE: We have a great video clip to mark the launch of this new series here, and another here.
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.
Programme one introduces the inelegant eight and sees them get to grips with the basics of becoming a lady. But in true ladette style, things go less than according to plan, with their first lessons in etiquette resulting in skinny dipping, food fights and stripping. Plus one chirpy ladette sees herself sent packing before the first official expulsion.
As the ladettes arrive, school rules are immediately broken, contraband is stashed and punctuality is ignored. Liverpudlian Charlotte Donoghue arrives over four hours late interrupting the Principal Address. Her excuse is less than convincing: Continue reading ‘Ladette To Lady Returns, ITV‘ »
