Summary
Boxing hopeful Kacey's confidence begins to waver as the school and her family get stuck into raising funds for her sports scholarship - especially when Nikki arranges a visit from Olympic champion Nicola Adams. However, jealous Barry is soon hatching his own plans for the money they have raised. New supply teacher Frankie McGregor's heavy-handed approach divides Christine and Simon, and as the twins grow apart, he proves an unlikely companion for the lonely Lenny
Review
There’s something disconcerting about real-life personalities popping up in TV drama; it can be clunky and often descends into excruciating viewing unless the non-actor in question has a basic level of dramatic skill.
Happily, boxer Nicola Adams’s cameo as a celebrity sparring partner for Commonwealth hopeful Kacey (Brogan Ellis) is largely confined to the ring, (just about) avoiding sentimental gushing between prodigée and mentor.
If you watch Waterloo Road for its devastating levels of teacher incompetence, this episode will be a particular highlight thanks to the combined efforts of Miss Spark and shady new supply teacher Mr McGregor.
