Strictly Come Dancing has lost another professional dancer after Natalie Lowe revealed she is quitting the show.
The 36-year-old beauty has announced that she is retiring after seven years.
She has called her time on the show an “incredible and extraordinary adventure” but is hanging up her dancing shoes.
“This was a very difficult decision for me not to accept the invitation to appear on this season of Strictly Come Dancing,” she told the Press Association.

“It is with a very heavy heart that I have arrived at this decision.
“I’ll be forever grateful for the amazing time, opportunities and memories that Strictly has created for me. My time on the programme has been everything that I dreamed it would be and more.
“From the friendships I developed, the amazing dances I was able to perform in and the experiences that Strictly provided, it has been an incredible and extraordinary adventure.”
Among Natalie’s previous pairings she’s danced with Olympian Greg Rutherford, Ricky Whittle, Ainsley Harriott, and EastEnders actor Scott Maslen.
She joined the BBC One dancing series in 2009, and has thoroughly enjoyed every minute, but wants to focus on a different venture now.
The star has a new project up her sleeve, a dance-based fitness program called FitSteps.
The ballroom pro is also currently on tour with Ian Waite, a fellow former Strictly star, until June.
