Series 1. Natasha Kaplinsky. I wasn't a fan but for a beginner the lady could dance.
Series 2. Denise Lewis followed closely by Aled Jones.
Series 3. Colin Jackson followed by James Martin and Darren Gough. I would include Zoe Ball but for the dance classes she took before the series started.
Series 4. The winner Mark Ramprakash and runner up Matt Dawson. I wasn't a fan of Matt but from complete beginner he made phenomenal strides - just not as many as Mark;
Series 5. Gethin Jones
Series 6. I suppose Austin Healey springs to mind. I wasn't a fan.
Series 7. Has got to be Ricky Whittle - I just cannot include Chris Hollins.
Series 8. Scott Maslen - though I was never a fan.
Series 9. The winner Harry Judd was apparently a beginner - correct me if I'm wrong.
Series 10. Louis Smith had never stepped onto a dance floor.
Series 11. Cannot find previous experience for Susanna Reid - just didn't like her
And so to series 12. Seems to me there are more trained dancers than untrained. .
