IMO it's exactly this attitude that makes people think Laila is better than she is. Just because she is attractive. She certainly doesn't have lovely posture- the judges have commented on this. For once I did agree with Alesha when she said she thought Anton would have corrected that by now.

I hope Laila does a Melissa Joan Heart and wows us with it, either way she is bound to look stunning. Bring it on.

Ah - I understand Leila skipped practice for few days to nick off abroad

I rest my case

.

She has work commitments

Like Ricky, Natalie and Chris.

TT don't even bother, it's a pointless exercise. I've tried and and given up, doesn't matter what Laila does it's wrong, even if it's only what the others are doing/done.

I know
It's a battle she just can't win

I'm no Laila fan, but I'm sure she must have been contracted to do that photoshoot months ago.

Mind you, I'll be interested to see how much training she's put in by the end of the week. She's received such a lot of support I think she owes it to those fans to devote as much time as she can to the training. After all Natalie's filming Eastenders again and has still trained a lot of hours, so Laila really does have to try to catch up.

Finally a post from you I agree with. *Thumbs up*

Claudia actually said it was a pre-existing commitment (I'm paraphrasing but it was words to that effect)
