We've had a slight change of topic this week, so we are taking a look at one of Alex's icons, Margot Fonteyn. Now if the thought of ballet puts you off, never fear - this is a story that will certainly give you something to think about. Who would have thought a dainty, sweet girl from Surrey would end up involved in a coup in central America?! We take a look at one of the most famous women ever to grace the stage in Covent Garden, and find out what took her from curtsies to coups.

WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE! Check out www.ladieswholondon.com and take a look at the blog which accompanies each episode, plus links on how to get in touch and what we are all about. 

Plus we find out who won the Podcast Pedestal, and we spin the Wheel of Destiny to find out where we are going next.
