Natasha Pratesi in Series 76.

Natasha Pratesi was a contestant in Series 76. She was a touring theatre student at the University of Worcester, originally from London.

Her mother, Diane, was a contestant in Series 18 and 91, winning two games in the former. Her father, Mauro, is the chairman of the London Scrabble League, and was a contestant in Series 65. Her older sister, Jessica, was a contestant in Series 67 and 89, becoming an octochamp and semi-finalist in the latter. Notably, all four of the Pratesi family have lost games on crucial conundrums. Despite Natasha losing her heat game, Nick Hewer announced at the end of her episode that a teapot was finally given to her family. This is likely because Diane won two games before the teapot was introduced in 1998, whereas Mauro and Jessica lost their first games (Jessica has since won a teapot from reappearing on the show).

Natasha and her family have attended a handful of Co-events, the first being COLIN 2012, and have also been tournament Scrabble players.
