Ladette to Lady

I just watched this on Sky+ from last night. It looks to me that ITV may have a much needed hit show on their hands (apart from Footie Wives but that has finished, although they are still milking it on ITV2) especially after the failure of Z-List Dire Island (Calum and Rebecca may or may not have shagged for those interested).

The premise of this new Ladette to Lady show is in the title- they have got ten of Britain's biggest Ladettes (boxers, gas fitters, binge drinkers etc) and have packed them off to finishing school where they will learn elocution, deportment, cookery and flower arranging. Already two have been 'expelled' (or 'invited to leave' if you prefer) and another two will go next week. It is surprisingly fascinating watching these girls become institutionalised and get the hang of skirts and court shoes. I will definitely be tuning in next week.
