It's Lee's second year running his celebrity academy, and he couldn't be happier to be back in charge of whipping those new trainees into shape.FemaleFirst caught up with Lee to talk about causing trouble in Texas, his naughty hair secrets and why he'd like to restyle the Queen's hair.

Hi Lee! how are you doing this fine morning, well afternoon I guess?

I'm doing very well thank you, this morning and afternoon.

So what have you been up to recently?

Me?! Well, oh my god! I went to Texas about three weeks ago, I went to do a TV show in America, it's called Split Ends and it's like wife swap meets salon swap. I swapped with this girl who was very religious, never been outside Texas and I was in the middle of nowhere in Texas. It was very amusing though, I ended up having the biggest fight of my life!

Oh no what happened?

Well, I told a manager that her team couldn't cut hair. They were a great bunch, they really were and had great service and that all going on, but I've never seen anyone cut hair that bad. So I said to one of them in a training session, and I expected her to be all diplomatic about the whole thing, but she wasn't and ended up telling everyone. It was bullshit, it all went a bit mental. It's all fun, I was getting a bit bored over there to be quite honest with you, and I thought well, what are people watching going to be like, so I spiced it up a bit. But I ended up throwing about 100 chilies into the mix in the end!

When is it on TV?

Well, it will be on in America, because it's an American show, but it is on the channel called Style Channel over here. You can find it on Sky somewhere. I'm sure!
