Frank’s team worked on Melanie’s natural bohemian look with mother earth tones, flares from MiH Jeans and accessories from East. For the hair, Jamie exaggerated her natural texture by using a small barrel tong, brushing the hair with a bristle brush and re-tonging the hair for more structured curls. The Make Up team gave Melanie a more sixties rock ‘n’ roll look with Rimmel gel eyeliner and black dramatic Nouveau Lashes.

Nicole’S First Interview, Gary walking off like that was over the top

Nicole’S First Interview! “Gary walking off like that was over the top”
Nicole'S First Interview! OMG! Did you see tonight’s DRAMATIC elimination?

We’re still reeling from the shock of seeing Gary walking off set.

This evening, we exclusively caught up with Nicole moments after the show to talk about her reaction to the night’s unbelievable events and to find out how Rylan is coping.

Are you in shock?
I’m genuinely taken back by it all. I thought Rylan gave such a strong performance on Saturday’s show.

Do you think Gary is to blame for Rylan ending up in the bottom two?
What Gary says, goes. He gave Rylan a really hard time. I do think that contributed to him being in the bottom two.

Are you vexed with Gary?
I respect and love Gary. He’s got a job to do. He’s playing the devil’s advocate. Although, I did think him walking off like that was a bit dramatic and OTT.

Rylan must be in bits…
Rylan is more upset about Carolynne leaving that he is over his own welfare. That’s the sort of guy he is. He’s extremely popular with all the other Finalists. Rylan has a huge heart and cares more about other people than himself.

What’s Rylan like?
There’s a massive misconception about Rylan being a diva. He’s the least, biggest diva I’ve ever met. Rylan really does get on with everyone. He shares a room with James Arthur and they get along brilliantly – despite being total opposites.


How are you going to handle Rylan?
I’m going to spend time building his confidence back up so he’s ready for the challenges of the Lives next week.
