Lola’s a bit eccentric, and wears her heart on her sleeve. She has absolutely no idea she's a wee stunner, even when she dances with moves that would put Beyoncé to shame! She's also a fantastic musician, but she is always late for class. The mentors find it difficult to get angry with her because she’s genuinely a wee sweetheart. Lola lives for showbiz gossip and when she’s not got her head stuck in Heat magazine, she’s invariably daydreaming about dating and duetting with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Usher or Leon Jackson.
Because she’s a bit ditsy with her head in the clouds, Lola has no interest in academic subjects and can’t see why she has to learn who the Prime Ministers of Britain were when all she wants to do when she leaves Britannia High is dance, dance, dance. She just wants to be famous; her idea of heaven is a spread in OK! Magazine.
Lola is great fun and a great friend. She is a bit of a numpty and can sometimes be naïve, mostly because she seems to live on a different planet. However, she is confident and knows what she wants: to be a dancer. And not just any dancer, but a ‘Superdancer’.
Across the series, Lola will have to face up to the fact that instant fame isn’t all its cracked up to be, and she realises that, if she does want to have a long and sustainable career, she’s going to have to put the effort in. Lola also learns about the perils of love, when she falls head over heels for the wrong man. Lola’s optimism and energy make her a compelling performer – if she can just 'calm doon' long enough to make it through the rehearsals!
