Lucky Strike BAR Honda's star driver Jenson Button was watching TV on Saturday night, as his girlfriend, Louise Griffiths, just made it through to another week on the BBC's Fame Academy.

Performing live on BBC1, Louise gave a performance of Diana Ross' Touch Me In The Morning, but it didn't sway the public who were voting on who was to stay.

With 13 performers, only the top 10 go through automatically. Louise joined two others, Gary and Audley, who's fate rested on the Fame Academy tutors and fellow students.

She got through that, and was then faced with the obligatory interview. She was asked what she misses from home?

"My boyfriend, definitely."

Fame Academy is on BBC1 throughout the week, with ongoing coverage for Digital TV viewers.
