I was lucky enough to see the Tour four times, and each time was magical, but, undoubtably, it was your Showdance that stole the show. You and Natalie are brilliant together and light up the floor with your dazzling dancing and your sheer air of 'joie de vivre'. I'm now really looking forward to the Pro Tour.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the show, the feeling was mutual from everyone in the audience. Although we are suffering terrible withdrawal symptoms! Don't worry though your angels are already booked into several of the Pro Tour events ready and willing to show you our support. Enjoy your break, but please keep your website updated with any shows that you and Natalie do, we love to have angel reunions!

I absolutely loved the Celeb Tour and especially your showdance with Natalie. You look like you were made to dance together and your enjoyment of the Tour came across to the audience. You were brilliant. I have my tickets to the Pro Tour and as your new 'Angel' am excited to be joining them all for the Tour in Southampton. Keep entertaining us! xx

Caught the Professionals' Show in Liverpool. A sincere thank you to all. Ian your lines are art in motion, priceless. All the best.

Thank you for the gorgeous Ian Christmas card which will soon take pride of place on my mantle piece, and probably not just throughout Christmas. Best wishes for a super Christmas, Ian and I hope 2010 is going to be another brilliant year for you.

Thank you for the gorgeous Ian Christmas card which will soon take pride of place on my TV, and probably for ever!!! lol. Best wishes for a brilliant n happy Christmas Ian and I hope 2010 is going to be another brilliant year for you. Lots of love xx

Thank you for the wonderful Christmas card Ian. Best wishes and a merry Christmas and may 2010 become a magnificent and successful year (perhaps you will be a finalist in Strictly 2010!)

What a great idea! I have my letter written for Santa and it requests that you win SCD 2010. Have a good one yourself and a happy New Year, x

Hi Ian, Thanks for your wonderful Christmas card (respect to Bungalow Industries). My best Christmas present was seeing you and Jade finally dancing your amazing Tango. Wonderful. Also to be able to watch you dancing with Darcey Bussell is there no end to your wonderful talents. You looked brilliant. Hope you have a happy and well deserved relaxing Christmas and may 2010 bring you all you wish for and more. Take care. Love Chris xx

Happy dancing Christmas Ian. See you in Dukinfield! Emma X

Thanks for the Christmas card. Hope your festive season has been good! I must say I'm missing my weekly Ian fix :o(

Hi Ian. I thought you were supporting Anton and Laila?? I remember you saying on SCD ITT you were going to vote for them in their Jive week due to her disastrous performance.. A change of mind perhaps? ;) I hope they make it to the final, but they won't win. I know Ricky can dance, but so can Ali! Have to say, I admire her ability to endure the pain her injuries gives her, and yet still she dance, and with a smile.. I'm sorry to say, I don't like Ricky much and for that reason I'm not supporting him. I'm sorry you and Jade have gone, truly I am. I'm convinced you would have won it had she been able to carry on.. Hopefully she'l be able to dance a little on finals night. Thanks for listening and, keeeeep smiling x

Dear Ian, Please, please come back to SCD soon! I'm getting withdrawal symptoms not getting to watch my favourite pro dancer. I truly miss you and Jade as I think you had a great relationship and it was nice to see an athlete such as Jade turn her fitness into some beautiful dancing. I was very disappointed not to see your tango and as I will be in Sweden for the final I have to wait 'til January to see it on Sky+. I'm also upset at not seeing you two do a rumba as I think it would have been beautiful. Not sure who to vote for anymore! Oh well, I'll just have to wait for the Strictly Live Tour cheer me up! Please pass my well wishes on to Jade and tell her there are a few more fans out there to cheer her on in future. Enjoy your life of (temporary?) leisure!!! Lots of love, Karin Aston

I like Ricky, but Ali is just as good, and they'll both be in the final. I'd support Chris, seeing as he needs more popularity votes because the talent votes won't be as high for him. Sad as he's seems such a nice guy- a bit like you :) Still very much looking forward to seeing that now famous tango, and of course the next pro dance you'll be partaking in. I'm also pleased to note that, although you're still missed, the hole in my dancing heart is healing nicely. But don't think you're off the hook because of that- I still want to see you as much as poss. Which reminds me, will you be taking part in the SCD Tour? It would really make my day/week/month/year/century if you were! Lots of hugs and love- Your No 1 Fan (next to the Angels, because no-one could ever beat them for dedication)

Hey Ian, I'm fairly new here on your site but I have been a fan of yours ever since SCD began. You are always my favorite and there was so much potential for you and Jade this year to get into the finals. Seeing you dance always cheers me up and I really really missed you last Saturday, but I'm sure you're gonna make up for that! Keeeeeep dancing.... Lots of love. Willy (from Holland)

Although I loved Saturday's Strictly, it would have been so much better if you and Jade had been dancing. Either of the two new dances would have suited Jade and you would have both looked majestic in the Viennese Waltz. Ricky has been my second favourite right from the start and I had been hoping that you and Jade were going to pip him at the post in the final. Like most other Strictly fans, I can't wait to see you Tango but, hopefully, we will have your pro dances and ITT appearances to keep our spirits up until then. Another disappointment for us has been that you are not dancing with a celebrity on the Tour but please let us know if you will be taking Len's place as a judge as well as dancing with Natalie as that would cheer us up no end. Love to you and Jade from one of your dedicated Angels. xx

Glad you're having a chance to relax, but equally happy you'll be involved with the pro dances still. What would I do without my dose of Ian? :o) And I can't wait for the tango at the final - holding thumbs it all works out. Enjoy your new washing machine! Glorious domesticity. Clean clothes. Contentment.

Hi Ian, Am missing seeing you and Jade dancing on Saturday nights, you really did light up the dance floor. You worked your magic so marvelously (as you always do with your celeb partners) and Jade was developing into a swan. I have my fingers crossed that you will be able to amaze us again with your tango in the final or maybe the Christmas Special. Your last ITT interview with Jade was possibly the most emotional and lovliest I have seen on ITT. Hope to see you dance on Saturday. don't like Strictly without you, you make the show sparkle! As one of your new angels (never thought I would be able to call myself an angel - there another miracle you have performed), you will always have my continued love and support. By the way, I hear you made some of your angels a promise at Trunkwell, about your pressy. Don't forget! He he Take care. Love Chris xx

I am missing you both so much already - I hate my post-strictly withdrawal symptoms, and now I have them early! I am so sad about what happened, but at least I hope it will be a small comfort that everyone still wanted you to stay in! I can't believe how much Jade changed - she seemed much happier and more relaxed. And graceful! I envy you both. I would give so much to be tall and graceful. I hope so much that Jade's injury heals quickly and we can see that Tango. I can't wait. I still get goosebumps when I remember the Tango you did with Zoe. But I was hoping you might do a Charleston too - that would have been great! Take care and please say you'll be back for another shot at the glitterball next year! We all love you!

Hi Ian I missed you on SCD on Saturday. The show just isn't the same without you. I'm looking forward to your Pro dances. Will we be seeing you on ITT? xx

Ian I thought you were Mr Diplomacy and now you've gone andn nailed your colours to the mast! I think Ali is the best dancer but I want either Chris or Ricky to win because they're more exciting. Speaking of exciting - like others I wait for the long promised tango that will be tinged with the sadness of what might have been. Jade and you doing the Charleston would have been priceless - I think it would have suited better than rock n roll - I can just imagine the pair of you hamming it up. It makes me titter just to think of you two and then I'm sad again ... Yes Jade really did develop as a person as well as a dancer and I thought your personality REALLY shone through this year too. Fab-u-lous darling x

Love seeing the men-only segments in addition to the women ones in many of the pro-dances, especially this week! I vote for seeing those more often; adds so much to the dance in many ways. Thank you!

Ian, you are simply my favourite one out of the bunch of Strictly dancers. Too bad Jade injured herself, I think you two could have easily won this year!

Ian I was so sad when you and Jade went out because you really had a good chance at the final plus you were supposed to be dancing the tango to Duran Duran's song and they are my favourite band.

All the very best to Jade, really missed you dancing but realise your career is the most important aspect. You're our favourite!!

I feel so much for Jade. She had been getting better and better and to have her knee go - so awful for an Olympic athlete. I was hoping to see you both lift the Strictly trophy this year and Jade get her gold in 2012. I am STILL hoping for that. I hope Jade is able both physically and mentally to compete again in Strictly. I know you will give her loads of support and help her through if she can continue. If our best wishes do any good, you will be back and at the top next week. And I hope I see that tango sometime. It will be the best. Love to you both x

I could see in Jade's eyes just how devasted she was feeling on Saturday night and my heart went out to her. I hope she recovers well and is back dancing soon. Gotta admit I really missed seeing you & Jade dance on Saturday.

Hi Ian, I hope Jade is able to dance next week, but everyone is saying it is unlikely :( I really really love you and Jade's partnership honestly there would be no point watching without you two, it was almost too good to be true :\ things were going too well.. hopefully this isn't it for you guys on strictly, you would be sorely missed. x

Hi Ian i was so looking forward to your tango, i was hoping that it would get you the 10's you so deserve from the judges, i was so upset to hear of Jade's injury - I hope she is doing well and recovering and I hope to see your fab rumba on Saturday. All the best gareth

Wishing the best for Jade. So sorry we didn't get to see your Tango. The one with Zoe is my all-time favourite as well. :)

Hoping Jade is well enough to dance on Saturday, and I really hope you get to do your tango at some point, as I think it would have been fabulous. Good luck and best wishes to both of you.

Thanks for the update - more than we seemed to get on ITT tonight. I wish Jade and you well. I am gutted for you both on so many levels. There is so much love out there for you with the public - those who have been with you both all the way and many who have warmed to your partnership over the weeks. You have never disappointed and I was certain you would be in the final, if not win it. I really hope that this injury is not so severe that Jade has to withdraw from SCD but I'd understand if she wouldn't want to take any further risks as she can't afford to aggravate it by dancing on when her athletic achievements are at stake. Wishing all the best for the scan and look forward to a more positive update soon.

Really hoping Jade's injury is not as serious as first thought, will be gutted if we never see that tango! ;-) Good luck to Jade for the scan tomorrow, I'll be keeping everything crossed for her. love and hugs to you both.

Hi Ian I missed you dancing on Saturday. I hope Jade is fit enough to dance this week xx

Best wishes to Jade...it was a shame we couldnt see your tango. I hope all will be well for this Saturday x

I was really looking forward to your tango and was very upset to hear about Jade's injury. I really hope it's something that will heal easily, and that she can carry on dancing and most importantly, long jumping. I think you were the most underrated couple of the series and if you're back at the weekend, I'll be cheering you on. x

I really hope Jade recovers enough to carry on with the show. She looked so devastated on Saturday. She has done so well and is a joy to watch. I hope all is well with her scan tomorrow and that you will both be back on Saturday. Love to you both xx

So sad to see Jade's injury and wishing you both all the best. I hope I get to see the two of you dance again, you are a fab partnership and obviously a genuine friendship is there too.

It was such a shame that you and Jade didn't get a chance to perform your tango on Saturday - it looked stunning in the rehearsal footage. I hope that Jade's knee recovers in time for you both to rejoin the show on Saturday, as it wasn't the same without you!

Sending you both my best wishes and hopes that Jade's knee is better soon, either for Strictly or at least so that it doesn't disrupt her long-jump training. If you two need to pull out of Strictly you will be terribly missed but you have been wonderful every week and will NOT have let anyone down. If you can't dance the tango then the Beeb should at least show the dress rehearsal footage (if you're OK with that) and I'm going to write to them to beg them! Good luck and health and happiness again. x

Hi Ian. My heart went out to you and Jade on Saturday night. Jade looked so scared and upset. I have just sent her a message on her website, to let her know that she hasn't let anyone down, bless her. I hope that the scan shows that her injury is not serious, not only for Strictly but for her hopes and dreams for the Olympics. We were all looking forward to the Tango but I absolutely loved your Jive. Great fun in Blackpool. Take care and keep entertaining us. You're wonderful. xx

Hope Jade is ok and good luck with the scan tomorrow, wishing you both lots of love and best wishes.xxx Hopefully you can dance the tango in the final, I really want you two to win, as Bruce would say 'Your my favourites!' xxx

Hi sweetheart. You looked so devastated on Saturday over poor Jade's injury! I'm sure I'm not the only one who wanted to climb throught the TV and give you both a hug. Really hope Jade is ok to continue with the show cos this really could be YOUR year! Hope we get to see the tango some day (you know its my favourite) and by all accounts its amazing. Maybe it can be your showdance in the FINAL!!!! Lots of love and kissess to you both Love Sharon XX All the International Angels are praying for Jade to get well soon x

Was so sorry to hear that you and Jade weren't dancing on Saturday - wishing Jade a speedy recovery! And can't wait to see you both in action again soon.

So gutted when I found out Jade was injured!! Thank you so much for your update ITT did not provide that much info. Fingers crossed the scan will show nothing too bad, not only for SCD but more so for Jade's professional career. Lots of love from across the North Sea, and best wishes and hugs for both of you! XXX Angela

I was really disappointed to hear of Jade's injury on Saturday.....I really hope that it's not too serious. Your dances have improved steadily without any dramas up to now.....it will be such a shame if you cannot continue. Best wishes to you both & hope to see you both back on Saturday

Everyone was so shocked on Saturday when you did not walk down the stairs. We were all looking forward to at last seeing you dance the Tango again, and were really excited by all the comments we were hearing about it. Our thoughts now are all with Jade and fingers crossed that the scan reveals nothing serious. The most important thing is to get her knee right, and make sure she is fit to continue her long jump training. Strictly is only a show and not that importnat in the scheme of things. LOVE TO YOU BOTH XXX

What a horrible thing to happen to Jade and how disappointing for you both not to have been able to dance the tango. My daughter Grace (7) and I were so looking forward to seeing you dance as you are such a character and always full of fun, which shines through. Send Jade a "get well soon" from us and good luck with the scan. I can sympathise fully with Jade as I broke my knee some years back & the pain was excrutiating - she was so brave. xx

Good luck Jade. Thinking of you. Disappointed that ITT gave no update yesterday. Career must come first but you will definitely be missed if you have to withdraw from Strictly.

Hi Jade & Ian. Saturday night just wasn't the same without you both. Was so sorry to hear about Jade's injury. Hope the scan goes well and that you are soon back in the competition, you've been doing brilliantly and we are loving watching you both. Take care & hope to see you on Saturday, love Gillian & Tango the Cockatiel xxx

Get well soon to Jade, I hope she's ok and it's not anything serious. Was so disappointed not to see your Tango on Saturday night, you're my favourite couple this year and I'll be really sad if you can't continue in the competition this year, but most importantly I hope Jade will be able to continue her long jump training. Best of luck - xx

Poor Jade. I really hope the news from the scan is good as I really want you to stay in the competition and reach the final, so hopefully, we will get to see your Tango. However, although I would be devastated if she has to pull out of Strictly, it is imperative that Jade's athletic career is not put in jeopardy. My heart goes out to you both at this worrying time.

Just wanted to pass my best wishes on to Jade. You're my favourite couple of the series, I've really enjoyed watching you both dance and seeing how much Jade was improving each week. I have my fingers crossed that the scan results are positive and at the very least that Jade's long jump training will not be too badly affected. If we get to see you dance again on strictly it will be a bonus. xx

I figured something was wrong when you didn't appear on Saturday, but to find out what was just awful. I feel so much for poor Jade. I hope she gets well VERY soon and her career isn't affected. I'm sorry for you too, as I know you were looking forward to the tango and I have no doubt it would have been brilliant. I know that Jade's athletics are paramount, and I don't want to sound selfish, but my interest dipped steeply when you weren't there, and if you had to withdraw I would lose 80% of why I watch SCD. I say 'Get Well Soon' to Jade, and to you I say 'Get Dancing Soon'. Love you Ian, you've always been my fave!

Hi Jade and Ian, Saturday night wasn't the same without you both, so very sorry about Jade's injury. Both of you have been fantastic to watch and fingers cross you will win. Take care with love.xxx

So so sorry about the injury. It looked like it was going to be a terrifiic dance. What a thing to happen but Jade's career must come first. Just hope one day we can see that lovely tango. Hope her knee gets better soon and we see you Ian back on SCD very soon. Best wishes to you both.

Echoing previous wishes, Jade's well-being is the first priority. Your genuine partnership has charmed us thoroughly; fingers crossed it will have the chance again. I would like to say Ian that your dancing enthralls and entertains, and you have a unique combination of savviness and innocence that is magic; thank you for sharing your passion. It is contagious!

Hi Ian I hope you & Jade will be able to dance tomorrow. Will you be in any of the Pro Dances?

So sad you and Jade will no longer be competing in Strictly Come Dancing. I've loved your partnership, and can't wait to see your tango at the final! xx

Hi Ian, i just wanted to say that Ian and I (remember us from my dancing lesson with you in June?) are so sad that we won't be seeing you and Jade perform in the rest of series seven, you've been the highlight of each show for us, and Jade has blossomed into a beautiful dancer, thanks to lots of hard work and your natural ability as a teacher. I really do hope that Jade will continue to dance in her own time. Looking forward to seeing you on the strictly live tour (fingers crossed - we hope you're in it this year? as I need my Ian Waite Fix) Lots of love Annette Jones (Dancing Angel) xxx

Poor Jade. I really felt for her last night. Such a terrible shame you have had to pull out of the competition when you had such a strong chance of winning this year. The show has lost all its sparkle for me now, and for all the other International Angels. Seeing you and Jade was the highlight of our week. Take care See you soon Sharon xx

Gutted for you both. Had you down for the final and maybe winning. Jade has improved enormously - well done Ian. Hope she will be OK and hoping to see you in some pro dances xxx

Hi Ian So sorry you and Jade were unable to continue. Best wishes to you both. Really enjoyed your dance when Shirley Bassey was singing on Saturday. Hope to see you dance in the pro dances as I love your style.

I had really missed both of you from a week ago and then was upset Saturday to know you would no longer be competing with Jade. I'm going to mail her separately. You so deserved to win this year as you have been one of the best of the pro dancers over the years. Jade was a really good match for you - her strength and fitness helping you both do better and better routines. Plus, your personality was much more to the fore this year and I for one really liked it. Whether this was her effect or not, I'm not sure. I hope you do SCD next year and WIN.

Hi Ian, it's so sad that you and Jade can't compete anymore as you were so good together and I feel you could have won this year. I hope Jade recovers quickly so you are to do your Tango in the Final which I know you're both so desperate to do and we'd loved to see. I hope we're still going to see you in the pro dances as I love watching you dance. Best wishes to both of you. xx

Ian, I am gutted that you and Jade are unable to continue SCD and can't imagine how badly you both feel. I hope Jade's injury heals soon and that there is no impact on her career. And I hope you continue to dazzle with your pro dances - Saturday's dance was magical. Birthday coming soon so my fingers are crossed for a trip from Ireland for some more dance lessons with you xxx

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/strictlycomedancing/F14488480?thread=7100896&skip=0 Thought you might like to see some of the lovely things posted on the BBC forum about you and Jade

What can I say? I'm so sorry to see you go. You and Jade were great and could have won. What am I do with my Saturday nights now? Not that I'm being horrible, because I understand Jade's career is important. PLEASE come do the tango when she gets better- doesn't matter to me when that is!

Hi Ian, I am gutted you cannot carry on with Strictly I really thought you could win it this year, Jade hasn't done a bad dance all the way through you were both brilliant, but understand Jade has to put her career first. I am looking forward to seeing you on the strictly tour! Best wishes to both of you!

It won't be the same without you. Last week was dulled by your absence, and I expect this week to fare no better. Jade's athletics are the most important, I know, but I'm going to miss you. Your partnership was so great. From now on I'm watching for the pro dances! So please try to show in as many as possible. Once again, love you! *enormous hug*

Strictly is so dull without you and Jade and this week will be no exception. You and Jade would have stolen the show with your Charleston or Rock and Roll and you would have outdanced everyone in the VW competition. I feel so sad for you and Jade missing out on such a good chance of lifting the glitterball. The only thing keeping me going is seeing your pro dances, glimpses of you on ITT and your Tango in the final. Hopefully, there will be a return of the Dream Team next week for the Midweek Report. xx

Well done to both of you last night:D Jade looked so graceful! Looking forward to seeing you dance next week... and the week after that... and the week after that ;) Good luck!x

Hi Ian, It is wonderful to read your update and be able to tell you how much I am enjoying watching you and Jade dance. I have absolutely loved every dance you have performed together, especially your Viennese Waltz - it transported me into a fairytale and Jade looked wonderful. Your amazing scores were well deserved. Your wonderful friendship comes across in your dancing and Jade is getting better as the weeks go on. She certainly is keeping you on your toes! I am also loving the pro dances you have done. I am a new member of the IIA's, can't wait for my 't' shirt to arrive. By the way, loved the red trousers!

Loved last Saturday's VW!! You and Jade looked so graceful, it was indeed a fairytale! Looking forward to next week. Samba time!!! High expectations after the Salsa and Cha cha...

Glad to see you get through, though personally I put you top above Ricky http://www.want-to-dance.co.uk/blog/2009/10/leaderboard_17.html

I am so glad you have given us an update as I have been longing to leave you a message, Ian, (I'm not on Twitter.) I was a bit worried at first that no partner of yours could match Jodie as you were so wonderful together but, luckily, you have worked your magic again, and Jade is proving herself to be a lovely person and a super dancer. You are fantastic together and all your dances have been great, especially your Viennese Waltz which was exquisitely beautiful (best dance of the night is the general consensus.) Well done to you both. PS The red trousers were sensational!

Loved the VW and so great to see you get decent scores for a change! My highlight of the series so far though has to be the Spray Tan booth incident. Only you could look that good in a shower cap! Much love xx

The Viennese Waltz was fabulous Ian, and Jade looked beautiful. Well done the pair of you - YOU deserved that 10 and to be top of the leader board - but you will be !!

You were brilliant on Saturday, and really deserved your high place on the leader board. The work you've put in on helping Jade to show her emotions has really paid off-it was such a sweet, romantic dance, and I love your choreography. Somehow it really embodies the magic of Strictly! I'm hoping so much that this is your year to win. My family will keep voting, hoping and biting our fingernails, and hopefully you'll waltz in to the finals and out with the trophy! Good luck!

As a British expat living in theme park Dubai I am desperately missing Strictly and rely on your website for news so I can follow you vicariously! I did manage to watch a recording of last week's show though and thought you two superb. Best of luck to you and Jade and will be googling like mad tomorrow to see how you got on!

Wonderful VW. Beautiful, graceful and elegant and Jade looked good too! Problem being early on in the dance off - the judges are reluctant to give high marks, you derserved a 10 as much as Ricky. Fingers crossed for the Samba tonight

Keep your chin up - your dance on 24th was fab, not fair being in the bottom two. xx

I loved the samba, the music was so catchy. I have never seen a male pro do a floor spin before, is this a first? Shocked you were in the bottom two!

The basics- love you, I watch Strictly mostly for you, and I want you to win. Also I thought the salsa was the best dance of the series and I loved your red trousers. If this gets posted, more detail will follow

I'M POSTED! Ok, firstly - is that Angela that I see the same Obtuse Angel taking part in the hugathon on the Strictly messageboard? If so- EXTRA HUGS FROM ME, seeing as I can't manage to sign in there. I forgot to mention my horror at seeing Ian and Jade in the Dance-Off. I hope never to see you there again. Also, I've been snooping around most of tonight, and I love the pictures- especially you at the track with Jade. Headband and socks- no no! If I think of any more to say about your general greatness, I'll post here!

Can NOT believe you guys ended up in the dance off - fingers crossed for this week, it can't happen two weeks in a row.

Hi Anonymous. Yes it is me. What a shame you can't join in the hugathon. I'll give Ian a hug for you! Glad you are both okay after your accident, Ian, and I'm really looking forward to your Foxtrot which Craig and Len think looks very good. Terrible you were in the dance off after such a wonderful Samba but hats off to you and Jade for being so philosophical about it.

Hey Ian, just want to say how much i love you and Jade dancing on Strictly, you are doing so well with her and I hope that you continue to stay in :-) I'm also loving the pro dances, keep puttin things up on twitter cos im followin u on there as well :-) btw love the piccie wiv u n matt c that u took :-) luv the sunglasses hehe

Will be watching the show this evening (missed it last week) and however you and Jade perform I will vote for you several times. I'm hoping you might win with Jade this year, which you thoroughly deserve as you are one of the most gracious professionals and treat your celeb partners very well. Like another post said I loved loved the red trousers when you did the Salsa - don't care about VPL - they were very sexy. What a pity I missed the spangly pair from last week. Worth keeping you in just for the Latin costumes alone, but by no means solely for them.

You two, are so elegant and incredible together. I am voting every week and I honestly think you are going to be in the final! Hopefully you can win this year! It is much deserved! I was gutted Jade couldn't dance saturday, I hope it all gets better soon! Wish you both all the luck in the world! All my love and support Emma xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Went to Sheffield this afternoon was very sad that you weren't in the competition but absolutely loved the show dance. Made the journey all worthwhile.

I bet it is Jacko! Best of luck - tweet lots and keep looking cheeky.

I thought you were wonderful on Friday night and absolutely amazing on Saturday. I also agree with Arlene, she commented that you were the only couple that looked like you had chemistry, a close partnership. Well done. Jade was lovely on ITT tonight (although Claudia has put me off baked potatoes for life)! Poor Jade! More of the 'nearly wearing' shirts please!!! Loving it! If that's the tip of the iceberg , I'm excited. BRING IT ON. Love, Luck and millions of votes to you both. XX

I agree with Christine on all counts-you were both sensational, and that Cha Cha was a joy to watch. The waltz was lovely, but I haven't got over dreaming of last years yet! It was so romantic and elegant! It looks like being a great year, and here's to hoping you pick up that trophy. Please though, don't leave if you win-what would we do without you?

Really enjoying watching you and Jade and can't wait for the next show, you are a true inspiration. Annie x

Is the performer you're dedicating the group dance to the late Patrick Swayze? Well that's my guess. You and Jade were fab on Friday and Saturday loved it well done to the both of you! Danielle x

I absolutely love Ian Waite! I think he does a brilliant job with helping his celeberity partners and he is the best partner you could ever ask for!

Great to see you back on the show, hopefully the first night nerves are now over with and that's the last we shall see of the claw. Cha Cha was brilliant - see tall girls can do Latin! Quieter week this week with only the group dance to learn but from the pictures still looks like you are working hard, don't over do it. One request though more shirts like last week please!

Well done Ian and Jade! I liked both routines but I thought the Cha Cha was better than the Waltz. It is time you got that trophy - I hope this is the year!

A great start to the series! I am loving your partnership with Jade and I'm sure with your brilliant teaching, loving support, fantastic choreography and sense of fun, she has the ability to go all the way.

Heeey Ian :) You and Jade are doing AMAZING. I really want you guys to win! :) You rock! Jade and Ian all the way :D

Your angels are already booked in for their 2nd international gathering at the Southampton show on the 5th June 2010. It looks like a great show, we are already counting down the days!

I am honoured to be able to call myself a new member of the IIAs. Love SCD from the first series and loved it even more when you appeared in Series 2. I've got my tickets also and will be avidly watching in Brighton on the 1st May. Can't waite! xx

Already booked for Dublin ON 15TH May! Love Stirctly and you're our favourite! xx Mairéad & Aoife

Just to say how incredibly amazing the show was at Wembley last night Angela (Lav) and I were so relieved to see that you got your pressies safely! You and Natalie are so wonderful together you look like you were made to dance together. Truly stunning! I am also going to be there at the Angels reunion in Southampton on the 5th June for the Pro Tour. Wow, a choir of Angels there just for you. Can't be bad!

Saw you in Plymouth on Thursday night after a fab show! I was the last one talking to you at the gate and was gutted afterwards that I had forgotten to tell you that my favourite dance EVER on Strictly was your Tango with Zoe! Now I'm beside myself at the news from the BBC about the 2010 series ...... whatever are they thinking? I'm devastated!!!! :-((

Saw the show in Edinburgh on Wednesday. You were A-MAZE-ING!! Gutted about the Strictly news - madness!

It indeed was a fabulous evening! Great to see you again and you looked very happy with your present.. ;-) Good luck with SCD!! X Angela (the Dutch one)

A magical evening in a beautiful setting. Ian was fabulously entertaining and I can now jive!!

Had a great evening at Trunkwell. The venue was lovely, everyone was so friendly, the cabaret was great and you were as gorgeous as ever. PLEASE will you come to North Wales next year?

Love everything about the new website - very classy, attractive and easy to browse. The gallery is amazing! Well done Bungalow Industries and thank you Ian for keeping it up to date.

Dear Angela Thank you so much for your positive feedback about the site! We're really proud of it, feel it captures Ian's sparkle and sense of style, and we've really enjoyed working with Ian too - we're delighted he feels as passionately about his website as we do! With kindest regards, David and Scott Bungalow Industries

A big thank you from myself and I am sure all of Ian's other International Angels. Over the last few years we have been desperate for up-to-date info on our man, and struggling to find out about future events. We have learnt more in the last two weeks than the last two years. Very classy elegant site, lots of info and some great images both from the early years to some of the mean and moody shots of the gallery. Keep up the good work.

Head up and respect to Bungalow Industries. How hard you must have worked. It took my breath away so modern, yet really elegant. My son is at Uni at the moment studying design and looking for work experience, he was blown away by your design. He has a habit of finding things wrong with different designs - not this one. WOW! No wonder Ian is proud of it. Take Care. XX
