The Lowly One
It's the lowest score a judge can award, but how often have we actually seen a judge raise their paddle with the number 1 on it?
There have actually been only five 1's given in the entire history of Strictly! I wonder if you can guess which judges have awarded that mark to contestants? Well, Craig has given four of the five 1's, while Arlene awarded the final one.
Only four dances have scored the lowly 1:
- Quentin & Hazel in the first week of series two, with their Cha Cha Cha routine, received a one from both Craig and Arlene, and scored a total of just 8 points.
- Fiona & Brendan in the second week of series three, with their Rumba routine was awarded a one by Craig, and received a total score of 13.
- Gary & Karen in the first week of series six, with their Cha Cha Cha performance also received a one from Craig, although the other judges gave them either 5's or 6's, and the total score was 17.
- John & Kristina in the eighth week of series six, with their Cha Cha Cha, while getting a slightly better reception from the other judges, it was another 1 from Craig, and a total score of just 12 points.
Who will be next?
