...next series. I know it's a bit more difficult with her height, but let's see her given a real contender. She's got so much personality and warmth to give, imo

Lovely dancer, lovely person, perhaps just too lovely!! They know she'll always accept a no hoper with that charming grace & smile so that's what she tends to get each year!!
She's LONG overdue a real shot at the title again with a proper contender in 2016!!
She was ROBBED by Chris & Ola, due to Ricky Whittle losing public support after appearing on an assault charge not long before the final if I recall!! He was miles the best dancer that series!!

I think you're right there. She will always smile and accept a duffer with grace.

What happened, exactly? This isn't the first time I've heard he was unpopular, either. Why?
I would love Natalie to get a real contender next year. She is my favourite pro and has worked bloomin hard with all the partners she has been given. I'd love her to win next year.
I agree with the OP, Natalie is certainly a favourite of mine. She does shine though, she's a great teacher and lovely with it. It would be nice for her to have a great partner so she could be in the final but no-one can really tell in advance what the celebs are going to be like on the dance floor..
When Ainsley was eliminated I sent a PM to Strictly on Twitter, saying exactly this, I hope they take note because Natalie deserves it more than any other Pro IMO.
I love Natalie, she does wonders with her "duffers", always find ways to showcase her partners.

True, but you can get a fair idea who will go far and those who will be lucky to survive more than 3 weeks.
She has had good contenders before with Ricky and Scott. However i agree she should get a contender as i said when it came to predicting who should get contenders middlers and duffers next year
