After ITT and Saturday/Sunday Night I have a girl crush on Iveta. She is a breath of fresh air. :love:

    I get the impression that Iveta has won a lot of friends this season. I don't watch ITT but I'm one of those friends :)

    A wonderful refreshing addition to the show. Fabulous Ballroom and Latin dancer, beautiful person inside and out.

    I agree she made an amazing lioness but I was already a big fan.

    I think she is great, and really hope she will be back next year. My friends who watch SCD all like her too, so I am guessing, from my limited poll, that she may well be popular with the public.

    The producers have worked hard bringing the new pro dancers to us - a lot of the "dancing to the visiting songster" routines are with the new pros and they are frequently towards the front of the group routines.

    They've really succeeded with Ally-ash (I know I know but I can't be bothered to get my keyboard getting it right, or cutting and pasting - too much to do!), Iveta (a lot of that because Mark so clearly liked her and his Iveta impersonations were brilliant AND she took it all in the best way possible) and Kevin.

    I wouldn't worry there is no way in the world the BBC would drop Iveta. She will be the first one they call. She is the perfect fit, brilliant dancer and choreographer, with a wonderful personality and humour, who gets on with everyone. She also clearly loves the show and will want to come back.

    Me too- especially in her lioness costume! She has a great sense of humour, and her relationship with Mark was possibly the best in SCD ever

    Iveta tweeted a picture yesterday of a beautiful necklace that Mark & his wife gave her. Isn't that lovely. 😍

    Thanks everyone for your agreement.

    She is stunningly beautiful, (I noticed her cheekbones rivalled Jac Naylor/Rosie Marcel's (Holby City) ). But more importantly she seems beautiful on the inside too.

    Thank goodness Aliona was injured last year (don't mean that nastily to Aliona) but obviously TPTB saw how good she was.

    Long Reign Queen Iveta :love::blush:

    I've liked Iveta from the word go. Full of energy and a great personality, not to mention a superb dancer. I do hope she comes back again next year.:)

    I'm gradually shifting from initially thinking very good dancer, says all the right things but quite calculating at the same time.

    She was in some ways lucky to get Mark as it did show the best of her dry sense of humour and her patience. She has reset her targets and used his plus points well without getting frustrated by his limitations so she has shown herself to be a pretty complete package.

    She's clearly made a big impression on here and I'm sure she will be back next year.

    I'm not quite as big a fan personally, I think Anya has been the best of the new lady pros. I look forward to seeing her choreography for Patrick more and more each week.

    Loved her comment about the judge who disqualified some of her drunken sailor steps...'Who did that? I will crush him':D

    Apart from her dancing and sense of humour, I love how she is able to laugh at herself (whether its to do with her accent, her grasp of the English language or her 'tough girl' persona)...I think this is one of the reasons she bonded so well with Mark as they both have that in common.

    I agree about Anya, she's not an entertainer and has been in the shadow of the other new pros, but she gets the job done and pretty well, too.

    I like Iveta too. (Wow...a positive DS thread. Well I never! :o)

    I think it's probably fair to say that she'll be back next year.

    Shh, don't tell anyone, we'll get hidden in the attic, Iveta, she's a bit too tall, and probably a bit too scary too.... :D

    wasn't iveta brought in as part of a shuffle round because someone was injured and couldn't start - natalie? or aliona?

    i agree the show would be daft to lose her, and she kept referring to her 'first' series, but i didn't think it was a done deal at all...

    She was brought in last year when Aliona got injured & then stood in for Ola as well.

    Not only is she my favourite of the new pros, she is now my favourite pro full-stop. I always think the true test of a pro is how they react when they get handed a celeb who isn't a young, thin, dance-trained contender, and Iveta responded to this challenge with graciousness and humour, getting the most out of her partner that she possibly could. Mark and Iveta are one of my favourite Strictly pairings ever (and the show is a bit dull without them).
