You should come along to my dancing class - we have ladies of all shapes sizes and ages - and quite a few of us WOULD qualify for the Roly Polys!!
We go along because we enjoy the exercise, the friendship and all love to dance. And on the sizeist point - one of the best Jivers there is a 60 year old lady who is about a size 20 - boy can she move!! |

I think we should wait until Saturday to decide how good/bad Natalie is. Even then, some celebs take a few weeks to really "get" dance and start performing well - Darren Gough springs to mind.
But to pretend size has nothing to do with how well someone does a physical activity like dance is a bit naive. Of course, there are the exceptions where larger people are much more physically fit than thin people, but in general, having a lot of excess weight means your heart has to work harder. But Nat may be really fit, who knows. And of course, there's Joe who's probably wonderfully fit but look at him dance! |

That is a disgusting thing to say. Natalie Cassidy is not my favourite actress (because she can't act) .

but to make a swipe like that about her weight is ignorant and catty. You have a mind like a bee's arse. I do hope she doesn't read this thread. It is people lke you, currysocks, bullies of the first order, who are partially responsible for young girls developing eating disorders. Comment on her dancing by all means but she is a healthy weight and thank goodness she is not a skeletal Size O.
Hardly a good example to set to young girls is it? Personally i prefer the more curvy woman and have enjoyed the new larger catwalk model in the news this week. I wouldn't describe the gorgeous pro dancers as skeletal and wouldn't watch the show if they all had the stick-insect build of Tess Daly. Despite having a mind like a "bee's arse" i work with primary school children every day and encourage healthy eating and exercise.I don't encourage my girls to be like Natalie Cassidy. |

I'll bet you she can't dance either but will be kept in by the fat women vote while a better dancer is eliminated.

I think she looked good in the group dance. She has rhythm and seemed to have plenty of energy. Her training footage doesn't look bad either.
I think she will be in for a while. On merit. But I guess we have to wait and see.

What a nasty little thread this is in places, Shirley Ballas was impressed with Natalie's dancing and she certainly is qualified to judge it - what we saw of the training the dancing is looking excellent and I feel Natalie will do well on Saturday

You don't know that Natalie can't dance - and perhaps before pre-judging her and making catty comments - you should reserve your judgment on her dancing ability until you have actually seen her perform. I find your "fat women vote" comment insulting to SCD viewers - is it reallynecessary to make vicious swipes to get your point across. Go back to the playground. |

I must be confusing this Natalie Cassidy with another one who shamelesly flogged a "lose weight" DVD only to reveal later that she lost the weight by taking laxatives. Hardly a good example to set to young girls is it? Quote:

You may encourage healthy eating, but it's attitudes like yours with your "fat women vote" that leads young women like Natalie Cassidy to take drastic steps towards weight loss that may cause serious damage to their health.

I think she is a pleasure to watch - she adores SCD and her enthusiasm shows - she has great energy.

I am rooting for Natalie to do very well, I hope she is brilliant. And if she isn't, I will enjoy that too.

For goodness sake grow up, currysocks. It is hard to believe you are a teacher when you make such childish remarks. You really have a playground mentality and school really is the best place for you.

'Currysocks, I hope your pupils aren't catching even the slightest glimpse of your terrible attitude.
Natalie's training footage, for her tango, actually looked quite good. |

I love her attitude and enthusiasm. I'm in no way qualified to judge but it does seem to me that she has a bit of 'rhythm' some of the other don't have. I would like to see her in the final if only to demonstrate that it is skill not size that counts.

I saw her in the summer at the Isle of Wight Festival and she is a normal sized girl - she's probably smaller than me, if I'm honest. She looked healthy and happy and isn't that what we should be encouraging nowadays. Trouble is, the dresses and training outfits aren't flattering on anyone over a size 10 because they cling to every part of you. I think it's really cruel to make an issue out of her size. When she lost all that weight, people weren't happy and now she has gained some, people are on her back again.

She did as many interviews admitting she'd done the weight loss thing for the wrong reasons as she did to promote the DVD originally. That's at least some kind of redress IMHO.
I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw in the group dance from Natalie; she was considerably more co-ordinated and showed much more personality than Jo Wood or Laila Rouass, not to mention Richard Dunwoody. And she wasn't an embarrassment like Tuffers either. Zoe and Ricky might be better dancers technically, but I think Natalie will be the Chris Hollins of this group
