Get well soon - you are brilliant, so elegant and graceful

(and a brilliant actor to boot)

Beautiful Natalie (and her amazing hair!) were so badly missed last night. Please get well soon. Ignore the haters, you are a fabulous dancer.

I do so hope she will be back next week.

Any news on her today?

I do hope she is back next week and wish her all the best. Although she is not my first favourite, I think there was something missing from the show last night with Natalie not there.

Fiz from Corrie is on ITV at the moment "Sunday side up" and said Natalie is improving and she will reveal more in an exclusive later in the show

Hope you have a well earned rest Natalie and be back fighting fit next week. You always seem to give your best be it acting or dancing. Good luck Nat..... but be kind to yourself.....

I think it would be such a shame if she didn't come back - I was so looking forward to seeing her jive!

Get well soon Nathalie

Hope Natalie is well enough to dance next week at Blackpool.

Any twitterer who might get some news of Natalie? I don't have a twitter account...

Nothing.

I hope Natalie recovers very soon and she is fit to dance next week.

The show for me lacked the lustre and excitement Natalie and Artem bring to the show. The rest of the Celebs are so very mediocre.

One of the worst years for Celebs in a very long time if not ever.

I hope that's because she's properly resting atm...

Natalie & Artem were definitely missed from last night's show & the series would not be the same if she has to pull out.

However her health is more important than a TV show so hope the right decision is made this week in terms of Natalie's best interests.

This from the BBCStrictly Twitter:

Thanks for all your concern about Natalie, she has spent today resting & has really appreciated the lovely messages you have been posting!

Hoping Natalie will get well soon and wishing her all the best! <3

Yes, rest. Take Monday off if need be! Remember, SCD is not life and death!

Twitter from Natalie:

So deeply touched by your messages. Thank you so very much. Was devastated not to dance yesterday but so thankful to be given the chance...

To dance again. I think we're looking at exhaustion and sleep is doing the world of good but getting a final check up 2moro. @bbcstrictly...

The cast, and you guys have been so wonderful and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you also to @artemchigvintse who was...

A tower of strength and so understanding. Gutted not to dance @artemchigvintse's jive but so thankful that there'll be others xxx

Aw. Thanks for sharing!

One more from Natalie: ‏@NatalieGumede

There is no greater gentleman than @HairyBikers Dave. His presence lifted us all. So wish I had been there to say goodbye xxx
