She fainted twice. Given that I'm not surprised she's been sent to A&E for a check up - at which point there's no way she's going to be dancing

Really looking forward to that jive But hope she's okay

Maybe John knew something after all.

One hopes not the gutter for her!

This weekend we remember all those of gave their lives for this country in wars over the last 100 years.

Natalie has fainted twice so can't perform on Strictly.

Somehow this 'news' pales into insignificance.

I have no words, except, take care Natalie. I'm beyond sad

Me too, although I'm no Beeb-basher.

Hope Natalie will be well enough to return next week.

Wonder when the 'is Natalie pregnant' rumours will start?

Oh dear. Really hope this is not serious and she is back next week.

No fabulous hair for us tonight.

I think it might be Dave's

hope shes ok next week

hoping it's nothing serious, she is one of my favourites to win

Oh dear. She's the one I look forward to every week! Never mind. Get well soon Nat!

The show will probably finish ten minutes earlier now then.

Gutted that she isnt dancing

I wish her a speedy recovery .

Oh wow. Just remembered all the money that had been put on Abbey to top the leader board this week. Some punters out there must be rubbing their hands with glee at this news

(Hope Natalie is OK, obviously).

Really??! So you think she might have been voted out tonight then, had she competed??

lol my wife just said this exact thing to me when it was announced

Oh no! this is terrible news!

This means loads more Brucy jokes to make up the missing time.

Seriously? You're objecting to a 20 second announcement on the news that basically started with "for those of you tuning in for strictly later"? I don't exactly think the BBC were ignoring Remembrance news for that little snippet nor treating it as if it had the same weight...

Oh, for goodness' sake! By that reasoning, they really shouldn't bother with any other news. Let's just look at footage of people placing poppy wreaths at war memorials for 20 minutes, as obviously that's much more important.

It is perfectly possible to report several news stories during one programme that covers, you know, the news.

Her jive was looking a bit dodgy in training.

I'm so sorry for Nat - she must look after herself, Strictly isn't her life.

I'm gutted for the show though, no really excellent dancers.

And for me, because I was so looking forward to the dance.

And the hair.

Wonder if the viewing figures will drop as a lot only watch this year it to see Natalie

Hopes she's better soon !

I wanted to see her dance ,it looked fab.(the little clips via ITT)
