Farewell to the most beautiful woman ever to be on this show, who has now replaced Cherie Lunghi as my favourite. When she was dressed properly and had a sophisticated hairdo she could have been a President's wife. And she had a modest, pleasant down-to-earth personality to go with it.

Her dancing of course was not the best, but I think modern ballroom was her forte, especially the waltz and foxtrot. If she had had Brendan for a partner, and if Jason had been an unknown instead of a massively popular television and stage personality, she would have been in the final, no question.

I think that Holly deserved to be in the final with Jason.

Most beautiful ever ? What about Kara Tointon, Rachel Stevens and Kelly Brook ? Fierce competition in the beauty stakes.

I was taking elegance, poise and a model's figure into account.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. imo Denise Lewis was the most stunning contestant, followed closely by Kelly Brook and Alesha - but I'd certainly find a place for Holly in the top 5.

i loved holly - great sense of humour and a fantastic dancer (though seriously undermarked most weeks). Sad she's not in the final.

How true. There is absolutely no possibility whatsoever of forgetting Alesha, much as I'd like to.

I get what you mean. She has a poise and an elegance about her that we rarely see apart from perhaps Cherie Lunghi. I do wish she was still in. Not sure about Jason being 'a massively popular star,' though.

Apart from height where I will concede she is slightly tall for him I think they worked really well together and appear very fond of one anothet

Not so much the height, more the whole phsique. Holly's waist was much higher than Artem's which made things look awkward and he never looked comfortable in the lifts. Holly is superbly well proportioned but she is a larger lady all round and therefore needed a professional with the height to make her look slightly more fragile.

Holly was the person I would least mind being trapped in a lift with this year.

She doesn't seem to do gush so this put her at an immediate disadvantage as far as SCD goes. I'm still trying to figure out why she did SCD in the first place.

The BBC should to do a Tango competition for celebs. Holly would probably be up for that and who knows, she might even get excited about it, too.

What would Holly Berry do with Holly Valance in the privacy of a lift? Will Ivy be there as well?

I know someone who's met her in the flesh and she said she looks tiny... So the costumes obviously weren't doing her any favours...

I also think she deserved to be in the final. Not necessarily more than Jason, but she did deserve it. I'll never understand why people who don't gush are automatically considered dull and not sufficiently involved with the show.

I can't believe that anyone would think that Holly is dull.

I thought it was a shame Holly got voted out. I know she said she went wrong in the charleston, but I loved it! Such an original and fun way of doing it!

[Pedantic mode] Holly was not voted out, she failed to get enough votes to stay. [/Pedantic mode]

How can you guys argue about who was the most beautiful contestant? Beauty is so perceptive! Clearly to JohnCurry Holly is the most beautiful.

Yes I know, was trying to work out how to word it, but my brain wouldn't work

Was actually just trying to express my liking for Holly+Artem's charlseton

It was quite clear to me what you meant, I also liked Holly and Artems Charleston.

Yes, she's truly unforgettable. In 40 years time people will go: "Remember Alesha Dixon? Of course we do, she was the heart and soul of Strictly, back in the early years. Och, those were the days! What happened to her, is she still alive? Yes, last thing I heard she's living in the south of France with her husband of 39 years Breppo."

Snap, back to the present. Oh no, my visiting mum has descaled the showerhead! Major disaster.

BTW. A friend of mine is also a huge Holly fan. Sultry is a word he used.
