For the past two weeks we've been building up to the final of Comic Relief's Fame Academy on Friday March 11th, and while the bookies reckon EastEnders' Kim Metcalf is going to win, the most stylish Academy member has to be Reggie Yates who was voted out on Thursday.
TV presenter/actor and national heart-throb Reggie, has been working in TV since he was eight and despite not being a natural-born singer, made it into the final four of the contest and impressed us all with his dapper dress sense. Twenty-one year-old Reggie can pull off both streety T-shirt and baggy jean outfits (he's worn Wale Adeyami and Boxfresh togs during the past two weeks) and sharp suits.
When the pressure mounted, Edith Bowman and Kim Medcalf retreated into sweat pants and hid their hair beneath Badly Drawn Boy-style oversized woolly hats, while Ade Edmonson stuck to a simple sartorial formula - loud shirts and jazzy jackets (which has to be said looked like Topman from four seasons ago). Only Reggie was consistently dapper in bright pink and red shirts, fat ties and top tailoring.
