Natalie's facts and stats
- Ricky Whittle & Natalie are 1 of 3 couples who scored a perfect 50; this was due to the inclusion of Darcey Bussell as judge for the last three shows of S7 (2009). Ali Bastian & Brian, and Chris Hollins & Ola also scored 50
- Natalie missed performing in S11 as she had injured her foot. She was replaced by Aliona Vilani, who was paired with Tony Jacklin and this pair were eliminated first
- In a one-off format tweak, Ricky & Natalie had to perform a joint Lindy-hop routine with Chris & Ola in the S7 Final. This is the only occasion where more than one couple danced and the traditional scoring format was maintained. Ricky & Natalie scored 43, Chris & Ola 44
- In another Strictly first, Natalie & Ricky danced a Rock ‘n’ Roll routine in S7. This style was introduced at the same time as the Charleston but was not retained. Only 2 Rock ‘n’ Roll routines were ever performed; the other by Natalie Cassidy & Vincent. Both routines ended up in the Bottom 2, and that sealed the fate of this style
- Due to the 5-judges panel in the S7 Final, Ricky & Natalie hold the most points for a Showdance; their routine to Donna Summer’s Last Dance scored 49 points (dropping just 1 point from Darcey)
- Natalie topped the Leaderboard an amazing 9 times (out of a possible 13) during her partnership with Ricky, but the duo ended up Runners-up to Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan in the Final
- In 2015, dancing with former soldier Cassidy Little, Natalie won The People’s Strictly for Comic Relief after dancing a perfect Paso Doble, which was decided by an online public vote
