I will miss Natalie too. She took to dancing so well and she and Vincent had an excellent friendly celeb/pro relationship, Vincent is probably more gutted than she.

Natalie was obviously very popular with all the others and the judges. She always put a smile on my face. I think she did tremendously well, lovely girl.

I am going to miss Natalie and Vincent too, she may not have been the best dancer but she gave it her all. They had a great partnership and I thought they could have made the semi finals with a different dance!

I just rewatched Natalie & Vincent's pre-dance VT and this is what I'm going to miss about them. They had a great partnership and always made me laugh watching them train.

I think Natalie's time had come and I'm glad she enjoyed her Strictly experience.

I'm not sorry she has gone - should have gone weeks ago IMO. She had awful dresses & hair especially last night. Very clompy most of the time & her enthusiam really got me down. She should have not butted in last night. It would have been a travesty if they had stayed.

BIG FINISH TIME:

"But Ol Man River.....................He just keeps moving aaa-longggggggggggg!

Just called back into my thread how nice to see such lovely comments. Only the odd miserable post.

Looking forward to seeing her again on tour....I am hoping she will dance with Darren who will suit her personality and will look after her amongst the 'big boys' Austin and Mark

From the dances last night it was her time to go but it might have interesting if they had been given the Charleston instead.

Is there no end to your talents TC?

Thank you for starting this lovely thread, Jan!

As you said, it's so nice to see so many positive comments, it's just a pity that those who disliked her didn't post on one of the many Nat-bashing threads instead

Hope you have fun on the tour again, there will be much to enjoy!

Edit: interesting point about the Charleston, just the luck of the draw I suppose

Posted on the 'well done' thread but missed this one.

I too will miss them - they had a fantastic relationship and brought many smiles to SCD.

I hope that Vincent is back next year and that we see fewer jokes about his height and accent.

He takes it all in good part - but I felt that this year it became personal on occasion.

No one enjoys being the constant butt of jokes.

Vincent has to be commended for making the best of a bad job, as one of the better dancers he certainly drew the short straw.

We'll still have to put up with Natalie tomorrow on IT2 bangin' on about how difficult it was for Vincent "as we are the same size."
She did him an injustice, I'd say she weighs at least a stone and a half more than him.

There's always the mute button at your fingertips. I use it all the time with Alesha.

I will miss them
