I thought she was a bit as well, but Artem didn't make life easy for them by putting risky moves into their routines which often caused them to be penalised.

Still, it's their risk-taking that was also part of their appeal. They never held back. They were fearless. And that made them an exciting partnership to watch.

Joint highest ever rumba mark
Highest ever female salsa mark
Joint highest ever female paso doble mark

Think that's it...

Oh well, Alesha holds no records at all thanks to Lisa Snowdon and Ali Bastian - and Alesha was fabulous.

Pamela also holds the joint record for Viennese Waltz and Quickstep.

She also shares the record for most 'perfect' scores with Lisa Snowdon, I am making no comment.

Kara holds the record for the most relatively undermarked female contestant.

Matt holds the record for the most relatively undermarked male contestant.

There is no set of criteria behind the marking, and no consistency whatsoever, so the idea of records is a bit redundant.

That's completely subjective.

Three in one series, yes, but not for different dances. The VW was a rehash.

As for Alesha, she still has the highest average score I think... (series 7 weird with the Bussell-intervention).

I think records are meaningless anyway.

The scoring is not consistent from one year to the next (let alone within the same year!).

It's how we remember the dances that counts, and Kara's performances will always stand out in my mind.

Kara had the highest score in the final (in terms of % of total possibly marks) than any other Strictly winner.

I pretty much agree.

A lot Jill's dances (and she's not the only one) don't hold records but are stand-out for me.

Is Kara the only winner never to get a perfect score?

Kaplinsky, Alesha and Tom didn't.



Darren Gough only got one in a Christmas Special so take that with a pinch of salt.

Yes, she also finishes the series with a total of 21 10's.

Rachel and Vincent
- 25 10's in total
Alesha and Matthew - 22 10's in total
Lisa and Brendan / Kara and Artem - 21 10's in total


Make of that what you will
