Click here to leave a comment about Camilla.

 

Twenty four year old Camilla was living in Germany with her partner of three years Aaron and working on Starlight Express when she decided to fly over and audition for DanceX. After successfully reaching the recalls Camilla made the decision to finish her 'Starlight' career early and leave her life in Germany behind to come and follow her DanceX journey.

Camilla's partner Aaron is a performer, they met while in training for 'Starlight' and have been happily together ever since. When Camilla is in England she lives with her mum Julie and her step father Dave, in Princes Risborough, in Buckinghamshire. She has a sister Lucy who is 21, a half sister Emily who lives in California and two younger step brothers.

Camilla says being in 'Starlight' is her greatest achievement so far and also one of the toughest challenges she has ever had to face. Learning to sing in German and to skate to such a high standard was particularly difficult.

Camilla has been dancing since she was six years old and very early on knew she wanted to spend her life performing. At 18 she studied a three year Musical Theatre Diploma course at Arts Educational School in London and graduated in 2002.

When she's not performing Camilla loves to travel and gets away any opportunity she can with Aaron. She also has a passion for fashion and skiing. Camilla's ultimate dream would be to travel the world and have a family of her own.

I think it was really brave of you to move all the way from Germany to do DanceX Camilla, not knowing whether you would be picked or not. Follow your dreams, and they will come true.

Camilla has shown each week that she is a really vesatile performer. Out of all the contestants , Camilla can tackle any task with poise, dignity and ease !! She just keeps getting better and better..................! Thanks Arlene for choosing her first . She's fab !!

Katie
Sorry Camilla but Arlene shouldn't have picked you last night, you should have been in the bottom two and the one to go. Kalvin is a far more superior dancer than you, sorry

julie

Camilla shouldn't have been in the bottom two last week. She is much better than some of the other people on the show.

Noami Hall
I think Camilla is pretty but i think she shouldnt have left Starlight and Ife should have stayed last week sorry.

jenni c
We love Camilla. She has the face and voice of an angel but the moves of a foxy diva !!Can't wait till Saturday to see her again!!

Claire and Jane
Good luck Camilla! Were all watching you and keeping everthing crossed, youre great!

john at Thame Carriers
Camilla really danced Las Vegas!!She smiled the most and is the best performer. She also has long lean legs to die for! We are really looking forward to the disco dancing this week!

Shamil
Camilla France is behind you too !! Bonne Chance !

lucy
We love you here in Oxfordshire.You sang beautifully on Saturday............ you have style,dignity and class. you will go all the way into the final!

jodie
Arlene has finally lost the plot by getting rid of Ife instead of Camilla. Ife has an individuality, charisma and looks like a star. There are lots of girls who look like Camilla, but to me she's bland and her singing is childish.

Shelby
Camilla you r so stunning up there on that stage and didn't deserve to be in the bottom two at all...We love you and hope you will make it all the way!!!Loads of love xxxxxx

Gail Gardner
She is a favorite of Arlene's. I'm not keen personally and think the only reason she is there is to balance the group with Chelsey - now that girl IS amazing. Sorry Camilla

helli
Camilla goes from strength to strength.. Cant wait to see what she does this week!!!

Emily
Dont let being in the bottom two get you down carrie on going and you can go a long way!! Ur singing solo last night was amazing!! xx

LOUISE
SORRY CAMILLA BUT IFE SHOULD HAVE STAYED X

CAMILLA is fantastic she was amazing tonight and definitely did not deserve to be in the bottom 2 tonight. She is a real star and is going all the way!

Laura-Alicia summers

Fran
Camilla has the voice, the looks and you can definitely dance. You deserve to be in the last 5 - you go girl.
