Sorry if this is old news:

According to the Star today the celebs get to go home at night and sleep at home - not actually in the academy.

They have to arrive back early in the morning though: can see some of them skiving already.

BBC said 'its because some of them have families'

But come on - its only a week!

Oh dear!
But does it actually say STUDENTS?
(We know the FA TEACHERS sometimes slept at home - I wondered whether THEY might be the 'celebs' mentioned?)

Reading the reasons for them going into CFA yesterday. Ulrika says it's to get away from her children and get some sleep. So maybe they are staying there.....

Maybe they have the choice whether to stay the night. I know Jo Brand has just had another baby, so maybe she might want to go home.

Quote :-

Lights-out is at 11pm every day, mobile phones are banned and alcohol will be strictly rationed.


So it looks like they will be sleeping in the Mansion after all.

Patrick Kielty's show was broadcast Wed instead of tonight because of CFA, and I definitely have the impression he was saying HE'll be sleeping in the Academy.
He even added something like:
'Ulrika, if you're listening, I'm available for a bit of comic relief'!

He'll be in the Academy? Excellent. Maybe it's not worth them travelling in and out every day if it's quite a distance and then performing at night.

Just heard an Ulrika clip on Northsound and she was saying that lights out is 11pm but she'll be in bed (or somebody's bed! - her words) before then. Because she has a young child she is very good in the mornings but not very good in the evening. She says that if dinner is at 7.00 she'll be in bed at 7.30. Great stuff for all us live feed viewers

Hopefully Jeremy will invent loads of sadistic PDPs for them in the evening so they won't be able to go to bed too early!

Ooooooooo yeah, forgot about the delectable Jeremy and his PDPs... I wonder if they need any suggestions? Can you come up with anything? Pity it wasn't Halloween again...could you imagine Ulrika sniffing John Thomson's belly button? Gadz!!

Put themselves in order of "who's career is most dead in the water", "who the public hates the most" and "who hates Ulrika the most"?

The sticking the insults on each others backs would be good as well (not for "our" lovely students, but fine to do it to the celebs)

oooh...could be fun, that PDP session...

Sounds like it's all coming from the Academy

Apparently Malachi was up at the Mansion last night

And will be there again tonight if that was a rehearsal?

According to CFA Aled Jones on Chris Moyles Show, all except Jo Brand have chosen to sleep at the Academy -she's recently had another baby.

That's good Totally understandable that Jo wants to go home to the new baby. She's not going to get much sleep though is she?

i wonder if fearne will be presenting The Saturday Show Then???

Hardly...she'll be too busy practising her survival song (fingers crossed she'll get in tonight). Holly and Jake are doing a slot on The Saturday Show though at around 10am where there will probably footage from Fearnecam.

Please will someone put us out of our suspense by telling us what it says -
the site's exceeded its limit for today, so we can't get on it!

Um i cant really remember exactly what it said. I posted the link as I didn't want to nick their news. Basically, they'll be perorming live from the Academy live each evening (I think on CBBC, it looked like they'd set up a stage where the coffee table rarea used to be?) Mal was there yesterday watching the rehearsals and I think they said he'd be on the show one day next week.
sorry that's all I can remember-you'll have to check it out tomorrow am I guess.

No, Sarra Elgan (From Dial A Date) will be co-hosting The Saturday Show instead.
