I like Daniella and want her to well and Matthew looks sexy.

This is my first appreciation thread and loads of other celebs have one so why not Daniella.

Now who will make the Heather Mills appreciation thread

I'll be throwing a vote towards these two as Matthew is so nice a really lovely guy. I like Daniella too.

I'll be voting, I love Daniella as Sam, interestingly she has gone back to brunette!

Daniella looked quite promising tonight.

Agreed there was a roll-up with her only being hold with 1 arm so she could do big lifts and her skating looked good but I am worried she could go early.

I'm into supporting Danniella!

I actually really like her after reading her autobiography. She was someone I never really thought about before, but I read her book and she has done really well to conquer a very serious addiction. People can be very judgemental about addictions, but I always say 'there but for the grace of God...'

I wish her well in getting her career going again. It's been good to see her back in EastEnders, and I think, 'good on her' for doing DOI. I don't know how celebs have the courage, I always say if I was famous I'd do Strictly but no way would I do DOI!

I'd like to add, too, her hair was lovely last night - I much prefer that caramel colour to the bleach she had to play Sam.

I also thought she looked like she could be pretty good last night, so..... go Danniella! Time will tell, but I'm hoping she does well.

Totally agree. Her autobiography is imo one of the best ever. It shows she isn't the sort of person to make excuses or blame anyone else. She is honest and friendly. I hope she goes far - along with Danny and Hayley. And Emily and Gary

Daniella all the way.

She was good and I love that song.

Shame she was on first cause if she was on later she might of got higher scores.

Liked the song and I would of gave it a 3.5 possibly 4.0.

I thought she did great, she's good right enough!

Go Danniella!

Thought she was great!
Daniella to win!

I really enjoyed her routine, thoughtshe was very graceful adn elegant, and hopew she gets through tonext week.

I'm in!

Hope she isn't disadvantaged for going on first. She is the only one i liked out of the girls.

Great dancing and skating a fantastic start, I've just voted.

Daniella not only looked great tonight but she skated great as well. really surprised how good she was. She looks so much better on here with her hair more a natural colour than she does in Easties with her blonde hair. She looked more like the Daniella that I used to remember from her early days on Easties.

I voted for her 3 times!

I loved her! I've always liked her and thought she was really good tonight. Some of the comments on the main thread was harsh about her looks. I think she looks great! Hope she goes far.

Yesssss! She's through! Whoop whoop!

They are sad tw*ts then

I was impressed by Daniella tonight. I'm not sure what I was expecting her to be like on the ice, but she was better than I thought.
I've also read her autobiography and I thought it was really good.
I hope she does well

She was really good tonight. My fave in fact. Hope she continues to be good.

My thoughts too. Really happy that she gets to skate again.

I was pleasantly surprized by her performance. She was graceful, skated well and had lovely body lines. By far my favourite tonight.

Mine too - she was brilliant - skated first, on her own and with lovely lifts I did vote but she actually deserved it, I hope she continues to grow. Liking Matthew as well

Oh yeah, I meant to say as well that I thought she was a bit undermarked, but that was probably down to going first
