To be brutally probably my preferred option!

I could happily do without Ola on the show full stop

Oh God no. Quick email the Beeb to say we don't want her on the show. As for Casualty I'd Simon McCorkindale (Harry) will be a target

She also seems just a little bit too pleased with herself much of the time.

In short, noooooooooo to Natalie C for SCD!! Sorry Sonia.
(Now she'll probably partner my beloved Vincent, lose 4 stone and win the series. That'll teach me!)

Glad you're of a similar opinion, moorchild ! See my horrified reaction above

Erin was the only pro Peter could really be partnerned with - the others are all pretty short, apart from Camilla, and then the VDs would have to have been subtitled!!

Plus, she was due a 'non-winner' after Colin.

No, I've got to admit I share your feelings about not just Natalie C but your comments generally....'lumpen' is such a great adjective, isn't it?

I don't necessarily think you have to be a size 8 to look good dancing (the lady who demonstrates for us on Mondays is quite plump, but she is also a lovely mover) but it's true what you say, that some people just aren't very graceful, and if they are a bit on the well-upholstered (as my dad would say) side as well, then all the jumping about in the jive etc just ain't pretty.

I would hate to think they would put her with Vincent but then again it could be a whole lot worse - I don't want him to get an older partner because it will probably mean he will go out early. Which would be a very bad thing. See Vincent thread for another thought on this!

I'm not sure how she'd respond to criticism. I think she'd struggle physically plus I could see Arlene and Craig given her advice on losing a few pounds. Cruel, but remember Arlene's comments to Georgina this year abou learning to walk properly

Let's look on the positive side, if the Beeb pay attention to what we want Natalie might not be invited. nAnyhow wouldn't she be to tall for Vincent. If she was invited she might end up with Anton or James

I feel that now everyone knows what SCD is all about, then anyone who puts themselves up for it should completely respect and be prepared for what's required - ie: really hard work, enthusiasm, health/fitness, a desire to learn from both the pros and the judges (even/especially Arlene!),

Anyone who thinks that they're 'bigger/better' than the SCD ethos just shouldn't bother going on! Oh dear, by the time we've finished the only celebs who'll go on will be those who were ballerinas in a former life. Or cricketers

Whispers as I know she has fans That's what I don't think Georgina did - just milked it for the publicity!

Have no problem with extra cricketers though, we at GMR have started preparing a list of our preferred choices!

Sportspeople usually do very well because they understand the amount of training and practising required, footballer, cricketers, snooker players. They have the right attitude. Some actors have an ego the size of the programme. I think really it depends on the individual and their attitude

I guess that's why there are people from different age groups who are different shapes and sizes to show that anybody can dance regardless of age, size or shape.

But they still have to have the right attitude and be prepared for fact they may not be as good as they think they are

So that leaves James Jordan, there would be no chance with him, not while Ola is around. And if you want to make sure about no man eating put her with Ian Waite

I can see your point. But what would worry me most is whether or not she could take criticism. SCD is hard work and if you can't handle constructive criticism then any person is in for a tough few weeks

But remember that girl in Strictly Dance Fever (Claire, I think she was called?) who was pretty big but a great dancer, and ended up 3rd or 4th.

I don't not want her there because she's a bit larger it's becuase she looks like like a right old misery guts and I don't want to have to listen to her breaking her shoes in and moaning at how hard the training in!

I don't want her there either because she looks like she'd be a bad sport, but I just got the impression some people didn't think she should be there because of her weight, that's all.

Even if Natalie Cassidy did SCD I doubt she'd make it past the first few weeks
