My least favourite PERFORMANCE was from Fiona & Anton - I found it a bit pedestrian & lack lustre and the last lift and turn she didn't really have a clue (bless her). Interesting it is reported that Fiona was professionally trained at ballet (from the age of 9 to 14 she was at the Elmhurst Ballet School in Surrey) and has danced on the stage.”
Race Card Alert! Yes, you're wrong. First, Natalie is mixed race, not black. Second, the fact is, she has not as yet been in the bottom 2, so the prejudice theory is a non-argument. Polls on forums are not conclusive benchmarks for a contestant's popularity and, of course, not a reflection of the whole voting public.
