THE GOING GETS TOUGH

11 March 2007

It's another day in the Academy and another super early start for the students, and the gruelling schedule is starting to get to the girls.

After celebrating Colin's birthday last night, a 6.40am wake-up call is not what the students wanted, but that's what they got. The prospect of another hardcore workout with fitness coach Kevin was all too much for some of them.

"Oooh..." Tara moaned from under her duvet. "Another day at the office."

"I feel like I've been beaten up," Angellica moaned from her bed. "If I even have to see Kevin I think I will faint!"

"That's what's doing my head in!" Tricia whined, pointing in the direction of the alarm clock noise.

"I didn't even hear it," Angellica yawned.

Struggling to function, Tricia moaned again: "I feel eugh!"

A sympathetic Tara handed Tricia a big pair of sunglasses. "Stick these on babe," she told her before griping: "I am baffled why we have to get up so early."

"This is just not funny... I'm in agony, I'm aching all over," Tricia announced.

"I'm going to crash and burn at some point today," Mel joined in. "I've had a gander at the schedule, there is not a minute [spare], we're doing two songs."

Then with a cheeky smile she added: "Enjoy the day!"

But their grumbles had to be cut short as another punishing fitness class with Kevin awaited – eek!

Well, as the saying goes ladies, the show must go on!
