Michael has improved soooooo much and I love watching them. Their partnership is wonderful and I have voted enough to break the bank to keep them in.

Tried to vote after 8.30 too late but I do like this pairing - he puts so much into his performance & Nat is a miracle worker

She's very good, particulalry in Ballroom. Plus her and Michael getting on famously probably helps him progress all the more, as then they have that element of trust in each other which only further motivates the improvement aspect.

Most of the Pros are good teachers, especially when doing dances that they specialise in. It is really only if the celeb is really that bad or there is little or no chemistry when you might find it hard to see a progression from week to week.

His ballroom is very good now, and this was his best Latin dance, but it was still woeful IMO.

Agree she is the best teacher she has worked wonders
with Michial. There have been a few times when the judges
have said what an amzing teacher she is.
Love her lovely girl.

Natalie has the nicest pert bum only seen in the training shots - IMHO of course [if Artem's chest can be discussed here]

Go for it Henry!

Even though I'm a straight female I can't take my eyes off Natalie, she just so good, and always looks amazing.

Natalie is lovely and Micael is working so hard, improving every week

I must admit he is trying.

Natalie is amazing, far and away the best teacher and choreographer on the show.

so did I Just rewatching their dance, a bit more dispassionately, rather than just drooling

LOVED the lift where Natalie put her legs around his head - so to speak- that must have been hard. I thought they were completely in time, til they went wrong, but to pick it up again, was excellent. Couldnt see any issues with synchronisation.

Michael can do latin, I love you

Cant believe how much you must have worked to get to that standard, props to Nat.

Henry feel free to join in.

Love them both! Natalie is incredible, so lovely with it too.
I'd love them to go all the way, it won't happen but I can dream!!

I like Natalie, too - she seems genuine and self-effacing. And Michael Vaughan is blossoming each week - though I didn't think much of him as a cricket captain.

What she said.

yeah, he's got a great POSITIVE attitude
& when I saw Natalie dance with Scott Maslen I knew she was the best!

She's also the best dancer.

There was a pretty good shot of it last night (amazing bum, I'm duly jealous)

Love Natalie, and her partnership with Michael is, IMO, the best this year, genuinely get on well, not fawning and slobbering over each other, just great fun, brilliant attitude and putting in some damm hard work - as can be seen by Michael's huge improvement, mostly in ballroom, but his latin is better

She's very WYSIWYG.

She does have the attributes of an excellent teacher so she could be the best. Certainly could.

She is trying very hard.

I have to admit that in previous series I really didn't like Natalie very much...her first 2 series she got "contenders" as her partner and I felt she was *smug*. However, this year, I have warmed to her.

She is doing a grand job with Michael, who little by little she is turning into a dancer through her hard work and teaching ability. I had wondered how she would fare with someone who wasn't good from the very start, and now I have an answer...she is indeed a good teacher.

I love Natalie and I think she must be a wonderful teacher .But dont forget Micheals effort in this , she can only teach if a pupil is willing and putting in the effort .I think Micheal has really put enormous effort into this ,

Until this series I wasn't a great fan of Natalie but I've really changed my mind, this has been a great pairing, yes Michael is not the greatest dancer but Natalie seems to have brought out the best in him they have been great to watch and hopefully they have a few more weeks left !

I could have written this post myself. Never liked her, thought she was too competitive and pushy but she has brought out the best in Michael, well done
