With the new school year underway, Lucia was thrown straight in at the deep end and forced to audition in front of Donna and Bonnie, but it was dancer Leah that was challenged by her fellow students.
As Leah revealed that she would be hoping to get selected for the new dance troupe, junior students Brooke and Rhianna became entangled in an awkward compliment which backfired.
Having watched Leah dancing, Rhianna gushed: “Leah, are you alright? We think you’re so sick. You’re amazing, really. We’ve both been in the West End. So what have you been in?”
Realising the younger pair had performed more than she had, Leah explained: “Obviously I’m training at the moment so just doing auditions. I’ve been in a few videos but not West End. I don’t really sing so I’m just working on that.”
Rhianna then said: “Yeah, but you’ll definitely get there. You’re so talented. How old are you?” prompting Leah to reveal that she is 20-years-old.
The junior student then continued: “Yeah, so you’ve got a couple of years, a few more years to just get out there.”
Fuming, Leah snapped: “Hang on? A couple of years? Like, I know a dancer’s life is short, but I think I’ll make it beyond 23. A couple of years! How cheeky are they? I’m not that old, am I?”
Viewers instantly took to social media, with one fan tweeting: “The girls throwing Leah some age shade there #stageschoolseries2 #STAGESCHOOL.”
“Sorry but the little ones where soooo much better! #stageschool,” posted another as a third asked: “Who will make the dance crew? @E4StageSchool #STAGESCHOOL.”
A fourth added: “My little ones have got some serious sassss competitions on. Who will make the crew? #Stageschool,” as another said: “Uh oh @leahbauckham.. It looks like @BrookeStageSch and @rhiannastageschool are hot on your tail! #Stageschool #CoupleOfYears.”
The final 15 selected to battle it out for the dance troupe will be revealed in tomorrow’s episode.
Stage School airs weeknights on E4 at 5.30pm.
