		<description>Hey! Just been reading your blogs and thought i&#039;d leave a message. 
I&#039;m a performer myself (never danced ballroom) and everytime i watch any of your performances i am left speechless. For a non pro to be able to feel music the way you do is amazing and the partnership you managed to build with Natalie was magical, you really did become one on the dance floor. 
I&#039;ve watched Natalie for the past couple of years, and to be honest she was the reason i watched scd this year. Her choreography is EPIC and never predictable. You got lucky there!
Anyway, hope you had a peaceful Christmas and please keep dancing!</description>

		<description>You guys smashed the final and so should have been crowned champions!

My 16 month old son, Zak, pressed his nose up against the TV every time you guys danced.  He clapped along and danced with you!

I voted the buttons off the phone! Ricky you truly are a role model for what young boys (particularly those from mixed race communities like myself) should aspire to be- you are a real gentleman and a testament to your parents!

Please keep dancing together, you are the most gorgeous couple and it is clear that you are made for each other in every way.

Congratulations once again.</description>

		<description>Merry Christmas Ricky (and of course your lovely Natalie too if you see her/talk to her!) I&#039;m aware that you don&#039;t celebrate Christmas tomorrow too in the UK like we do here in Scandinavia but anyway... :) Hope you get some snow and sub-zero temperatures for Christmas... Here it&#039;s -9 and as I&#039;m in southern Sweden we have to make do with 10cm snow but compared to Dublin this is GRAND! It looks like Christmas cards. :)

I&#039;ve just seen your dances from semi and final... Wow! They&#039;re still great. :)I hope you get to use your skills even after SCD (preferably on telly so we can see you! :) )

All the best for 2010.

		<description>Dear Ricky,
I would like to thank you and Natalie for these wonderful Saturday SCD nights. I loved to see you dancing, truly enjoyed that. As I am from Estonia, I didn&#039;t know you before, didn&#039;t know Natalie or any other celebrities. You were the best from the beginning. There wasn&#039;t any doubt you are a winner. I can understand why the British voted for Chris. 
Anyway, be proud of yourself. You are so talented, strong and heartful. My wish is to find a big picture about you and Natalie and to put on the wall. 
I LOVE YOU AND NATALIE. Hope to see you both on TV or in real. Maybe in Liverpool, if I am still in England.</description>

		<description>Hi Ricky
Well what a final! 

How on earth did you lift Natalie with a hernia! You poor thing you must be sore and fed up with the injury.
I see Mr Bean won, but it was a big publicity machine behind him, the BBC Breakfast and him always putting himself down, when he was as hungry for the title as anyone else, sorry for the negative comment, only I am furious that the best dancer has had to make way for the goon.

I am gutted you are not on the Strictly tour, surely your manager could sort this out, as there must be thousands/millions that want to see you and Natalie dance together.
Once you have had your operation I am sure they could let you join the team on the tour as a surprise guest perhaps.

Len knew you were a winner from day one and so did the rest of the judges, I voted non stop for you as I think you and Natalie make a great couple your fabulous. Aleshia&#039;s scoring of Chris at the final was stupid, ok his Charleston was good but they should not have been allowed to dance that dance in the final, your Argentine Tango was far better and you didn&#039;t do it in the final! I still loved your showdance and the Quickstep is the best I have ever seen on any Strictly.

Some say you have to connect with your audience but you did connect your fans love you.
Chris was on BBC Breakfast every morning and that gets far more viewers than Hollyoaks.

Just remember this, we your fans love you, and want the best for you, so get well soon, and be careful with press interviews, don&#039;t give them any ammunition just follow your dreams, keep dancing and if your manager can&#039;t get you on the Strictly tour then I&#039;ll be your manager, ha ha!

As far as I am concerned you and Natalie are the dancers champions of Strictly Come Dancing 2009 and I wouldn&#039;t like to be Chris knowing I wasn&#039;t the best dancer but won.

Happy Christmas and thanks for making Strictly special.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m feeling the rage.  But well done on a truly fantastic transformation from an actor to a dancer!  I hope you find time to keep dancing because you have a real natural ability that shouldn&#039;t go to waste.  Though it is apparent that you have been bitten by the ballroom bug!

I am mourning the loss of you on my television on Saturday nights and now it seems during the week 6 months down the line!  Hollyoaks upsets me when it does things like this... particularly when 4od isn&#039;t available in the Far East so I can&#039;t catch up! Grr...

My sincere congratulations once again and I hope you have a great many things lined up.  Merry Christmas!</description>
