Interesting fact: The Jive has only been chosen by three couples in the final. In series one, Chris & Hanna decided to dance their Jive again and actually achieved a lower score than when they'd danced it earlier in the series, earning what has remained the lowest ever score for a dance in a Strictly final with just 17 points. In complete contrast to that, in the series two final, Jill & Darren danced their Jive again, and received the very first perfect score of 40 points from the judges, while the judges choice for Chelsee & Pasha in the final of series 9 was the jive and they scored the second highest score of 39 points. (Alesha & Matthew also danced a jive in the final, but it was a completely new routine performed for the Judges Choice round, not their choice for the Latin American section).
