As for Lulu, Brendan has never mentioned her name since they were eliminated - but I suppose his silence speaks volumes and he did say once he enjoyed working with Holly and Anita last year and left Lulu out.
However, he was perfectly fine with Lulu and put up with everything over the months, including her rude behaviour when they were first paired together, her unwillingness to work and her arrogance towards him. They actually got on well and she said he was a lovely guy. She was just annoyed they got eliminated and seemed to blame him for her inability to dance.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if her obnoxious and incredibly rude behaviour at their elimination and her slagging him off in the press to promote her book, or whatever it was, was the final straw. After the first time (when she found they would be on ITT together that evening), she said she was misquoted - but then she started up again. It didn't get her far though, as I haven't heard from her since.”
Argeed he irritated the bejesus out of me when paired with Lisa Snowdon but he couldn't have done more for Lulu - he adopted a way of teaching that incorporated her musical background, he praised her good points to the media, he deployed his distracting bag of tricks (and he accepted that the resulting flack from the judges with good grace) and in return she ignored him during their last dance and talked over him on the following ITT - Craig stated that he'd have kept Lulu in over Audley Harrision as 'Brendan taught her a lot' on the same program and his expression said 'I'm glad someone noticed' - if he is rude by default then he's allowed to be - he's earned it. To get a idea of what she's like read 'the nasty and nice celebs' thread on the Showbiz forum and you'll find if he found her a pain in the bum - he was by no means unique. I've had some issues with the man in the past but last year he was nothing if not gracious under fire.
