Whilst I'm not excusing Natalie for parking in a disabled bay there are a couple of other possible factors to consider.
I believe that this disabled bay was in the car park of the hotel where the contestants stay when the show is being performed. It is quite possible that as a regular user of the hotel, Natalie may have been given permission to use the disabled bays for unloading her vehicle, as it appears that she had luggage with her.
There is only an allegation from a "source" that she had parked there for around three hours and my inclination is always to assume that information coming from a Daily Mail "source" is likely to be complete b@llocks anyway.
Who knows, maybe Natalie told the hotel staff that she was being stalked by a creepy weirdo with a camera, and they may have advised her to park close to the entrance in order to avoid him.
If of course this is not the case, I would hope that she heeds the criticism and does not use one of these bays in future.
